Ledger® Live: Login — Getting started™ with Ledger®

Access your Ledger® Live account securely, set up your hardware wallet, and begin managing your cryptocurrency portfolio. Follow this guide to get started with Ledger Live and protect your digital assets with confidence.

Welcome to Ledger® Live

Ledger® Live is the trusted companion app that works seamlessly with your Ledger hardware wallet. It allows users to view their portfolio, manage assets, and make transactions — all with the assurance that private keys never leave the secure hardware environment.

🔐 Security Reminder: Always access Ledger Live from the official source: ledger.com/ledger-live. Avoid using search engine links or third-party sites.

Login to Ledger Live

To log in to Ledger Live, open the app on your desktop or mobile device. If you’re a first-time user, you’ll create your account and pair your Ledger device during setup. Here’s how it works:

  1. Open Ledger Live: Launch the Ledger Live app. Ensure that it’s updated to the latest version.
  2. Connect Your Ledger Device: Use a USB cable or Bluetooth (for Ledger Nano X) to connect your device.
  3. Enter Your PIN: On the device, enter your secure PIN to unlock it.
  4. Access Dashboard: Once connected, Ledger Live will automatically recognize your wallet, showing your portfolio overview and recent transactions.
⚠️ Tip: You don’t “log in” to Ledger Live with a username or password. Access is authenticated through your physical Ledger device and PIN, ensuring your crypto remains secure.
