Ledger® Live Login® (en-US) | Ledger Support

Ledger® Live is the official software companion for managing your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you're storing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or thousands of other cryptocurrencies, Ledger Live gives you the tools to buy, sell, swap, and manage your assets securely — all from one easy-to-use platform. Logging into Ledger Live securely is a critical step in protecting your digital assets.

Getting Started with Ledger Live

Before logging into Ledger Live, ensure you have:

  • A Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S Plus, Nano X, etc.)
  • The latest version of Ledger Live installed on your computer or mobile device
  • Your PIN code and recovery phrase securely stored offline

You can download the Ledger Live app from the official Ledger website. Always verify that you're downloading the application from the correct domain (https://www.ledger.com) to avoid phishing attempts.

Step-by-Step: Ledger® Live Login® Process

  1. Open Ledger Live
     Launch the Ledger Live application on your desktop or mobile device.
  2. Connect Your Ledger Device
     Plug in your Ledger hardware wallet using a USB cable or connect via Bluetooth (only available on the Nano X model).
  3. Enter Your PIN Code
     Use your device’s physical buttons to enter your PIN securely. This step is required to unlock the wallet.
  4. Allow Ledger Manager Access (Optional)
     If prompted, allow Ledger Live to access your device. This may occur when updating firmware or apps.
  5. Access Your Portfolio
     Once verified, Ledger Live will load your portfolio dashboard, showing balances, price charts, and transaction history.
⚠️ Important: Ledger Live does not have a traditional "login" with username and password. Your hardware wallet serves as the secure gateway to your accounts.

Troubleshooting Login Issues

1. Device Not Recognized

  • Ensure the USB cable is functioning.
  • Try using a different USB port or restarting your computer.
  • Make sure your Ledger device firmware is up to date.

2. Incorrect PIN Attempts

Three incorrect PIN attempts will wipe your device. Restore access using your 24-word recovery phrase via device setup.

3. Ledger Live App Crashing

  • Update the app to the latest version.
  • Clear the cache: Go to Settings > Help > Clear Cache.
  • Reinstall the app if the problem persists.

Security Tips for Safe Login

  • Never share your recovery phrase with anyone or input it into any website or software except your Ledger device.
  • Avoid third-party websites claiming to offer Ledger support.
  • Enable genuine check in Ledger Live to verify the authenticity of your hardware wallet.
  • Keep your device and app updated regularly for security and compatibility improvements.
