Ledger Live Login

Access Your Ledger Wallet Securely with Ledger Live

What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official software developed by Ledger to manage and secure your cryptocurrency assets. Available on desktop and mobile, Ledger Live connects to your Ledger hardware wallet, allowing you to view balances, send and receive funds, install apps, stake assets, and more.

Logging into Ledger Live isn't like typical username-password systems. Instead, it relies on secure hardware access and PIN protection, ensuring your crypto remains safe at all times.

How Ledger Live Login Works

There’s no email or password to “log in” to Ledger Live. Instead, you connect your Ledger hardware wallet (Nano X, Nano S Plus, etc.) to the Ledger Live app, and the device acts as your login key.

  1. Open the Ledger Live application on your desktop or mobile device.
  2. Connect your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X).
  3. Enter your PIN on the device to unlock it.
  4. Ledger Live detects your device and grants access to your accounts.

All sensitive actions, such as sending crypto or installing apps, must be confirmed physically on your Ledger device. This keeps your private keys safe and offline.

Ledger Live Desktop vs Mobile Login

Ledger Live is available for both desktop and mobile. Here's how login differs across platforms:

Both versions are equally secure, and you can sync your portfolio between desktop and mobile.

Ledger Live Password Lock

Ledger Live allows you to set an optional password lock on the application. This adds a second layer of protection by requiring a password to open the app, even before connecting your device.

To set this up:

  1. Go to Settings in Ledger Live
  2. Click Security
  3. Enable the Password Lock option

Even with this feature enabled, your private keys are still only accessible via your Ledger hardware wallet.

Common Login Issues & Fixes

Ledger Live Not Detecting Device

Bluetooth Not Connecting (Mobile)

Forgot Ledger Live Password Lock

If you’ve forgotten your Ledger Live app password (not the device PIN), uninstall and reinstall the app. Your assets are still safe because they reside on your Ledger device, not in the app itself.
