Ledger Live Login — Secure Access Guide

Ledger Live Login — Secure Access

Learn how to log in to Ledger Live, connect your hardware wallet, and keep your crypto safe.

Understanding Ledger Live Login

Unlike typical applications, Ledger Live Login does not involve a username and password. Instead, access is based on a secure connection between your Ledger device (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax) and the Ledger Live application. When you open the app, you “log in” by unlocking your device with a PIN code and authorizing any actions directly on the hardware screen.

Step 4: Ledger Live will now load your portfolio, accounts, and available apps.
Step 5: When performing transactions, always confirm details on the device screen.
