Ledger® Live: Login | Getting Started with Ledgér

Introduction to Ledger Live

Ledger Live is a comprehensive platform developed by Ledger that allows users to buy, sell, exchange, stake, and monitor crypto assets — all while keeping them secure through hardware wallet integration. Whether you're setting up your first crypto wallet or managing an advanced portfolio, Ledger Live provides a smooth and intuitive experience.

The Ledger Live application is available on desktop and mobile, giving you complete control of your assets with real-time balance tracking and easy access to DeFi and staking features.

        Key Benefit: With Ledger Live, private keys never leave your Ledger device. The app acts as a secure interface while the hardware wallet performs cryptographic operations offline.
      

Ledger Live Login & Account Security

When you open Ledger Live, the Login process is designed for safety and ease. You simply connect your Ledger device (Ledger Nano X, S Plus, or Stax) and unlock it with your PIN. Ledger Live will automatically detect and sync your accounts without ever exposing your recovery phrase or private keys.

Login Tips:

Always use the official Ledger Live app downloaded from the official Ledger website.
Never share your recovery phrase — not even with Ledger support.
Ensure your device firmware is up to date for the best security.

        Pro Tip: If you need to recover your wallet, only use your Ledger device and the original recovery sheet. Avoid typing recovery words on any computer.
