Ledger® Live: Login | Getting Started | Ledger® Support

Ledger® Live is the official software companion for Ledger® hardware wallets, designed to give users full control over their digital assets while maintaining the highest security standards. Whether you're new to crypto or an experienced user, this guide will walk you through the Ledger® Live login process, getting started steps, and how to get trusted help through Ledger® Support.

Let’s explore how Ledger® makes securing, managing, and growing your crypto portfolio simple and reliable — all starting with Ledger® Live.

What Is Ledger® Live?

Ledger® Live is a secure application developed by Ledger® to interact with your Ledger® hardware wallet. It allows you to:

• Send and receive cryptocurrency
• Manage over 5,000 coins and tokens
• Stake assets to earn rewards
• View your real-time portfolio
• Manage NFTs
• Connect to DeFi and Web3 apps securely

Unlike web wallets or exchanges, Ledger® Live doesn’t store your private keys online. Instead, it works with your Ledger® device (Nano X or Nano S Plus) to ensure private keys never leave your device, keeping your crypto safe from online threats.

Ledger® Live Login: How It Works

Ledger® Live does not have a traditional "login" system like email and password. Instead, your Ledger® device is the key to accessing and managing your crypto.

Here’s what “logging in” to Ledger® Live really means:

Step 1: Open the Ledger® Live App

Start by opening the Ledger® Live desktop or mobile application.

Step 2: Connect Your Hardware Wallet

Use a USB cable (for Ledger Nano S Plus) or Bluetooth (for Ledger Nano X) to connect your wallet.

Step 3: Enter Your PIN Code

You’ll be prompted to enter your PIN on the device. This unlocks access to your wallet.

Step 4: Confirm Device Connection

Ledger® Live will detect your device and authorize secure interaction.

That’s it — your Ledger® Live login is complete. You now have access to your dashboard, accounts, balances, and transaction features.
