What is Ledger Live Login?
Ledger Live doesn’t use traditional email/password login. Instead, you access the app by connecting your Ledger device (Nano X or Nano S/Plus), entering the device PIN, and confirming actions directly on the hardware — ensuring your private keys never leave the device .
Step‑by‑Step: How to Log In
-
Download and install Ledger Live from the official Ledger website (ledger.com/start) .
-
Open Ledger Live on your desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux) or mobile (iOS/Android).
-
Connect your Ledger device via USB (Nano S/Plus) or Bluetooth (Nano X mobile).
-
Enter your PIN directly on the hardware wallet to unlock it. No password is entered into the app.
-
Approve actions physically on-device. Only then Ledger Live grants access to your dashboard and portfolio view .
How to Log Out or Lock Ledger Live
-
No traditional log‑out button exists. To erase session data, use Settings → Help → Reset Ledger Live, which clears all local app data — effectively logging you out .
-
To prevent easy reopening, enable “Password Lock” via Settings → General → Password Lock — this requires a password when reopening the app after closing it .
-
Alternatively, uninstall the app—for example, on a shared computer—to remove all local traces.
Security Tips to Stay Safe
-
Always download from Ledger.com/start, never from unofficial links or sources .
-
Never enter or share your 24‑word recovery phrase within Ledger Live or any app — it’s never needed and could signal a phishing scam.
-
Keep both Ledger Live and your Ledger device firmware updated for best security and smooth login experience .
