Welcome to Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the official companion application for all Ledger® hardware wallets. It provides a simple, secure, and user-friendly way to manage your cryptocurrencies from a single interface — whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trader. With Ledger Live, your private keys remain offline and your funds stay protected from online threats.
How to Log in to Ledger Live
Logging in to Ledger Live is straightforward and highly secure. Because Ledger uses hardware wallets, the login process ensures that you are always the one authorizing access.
- Open Ledger Live: Launch the Ledger Live app on your desktop or mobile device.
- Connect your device: Plug in your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Nano S via USB or Bluetooth.
- Enter your PIN: Unlock your device using your secure PIN code.
- Device verification: Ledger Live will automatically recognize your device and verify its authenticity.
- Access your dashboard: Once connected, you’ll see your crypto portfolio, market data, and options to buy, sell, swap, and stake assets.
Why Hardware Login Is Safer
Unlike traditional logins that rely on passwords stored online, Ledger Live authentication requires your physical device. This makes it nearly impossible for hackers to gain access to your funds remotely. Your private keys never leave your Ledger device, and all transaction approvals must be manually confirmed by you.
Getting Started with Ledger Live
If you’re a new user, follow these steps to set up your Ledger wallet and start managing your crypto securely:
- Visit the official website: Go to ledger.com/start to download the latest version of Ledger Live.
- Install Ledger Live: Follow the installation prompts on your Windows, macOS, or Linux device.
- Set up your hardware wallet: Choose “Set up as new device” or “Restore from recovery phrase.” Follow on-screen steps carefully.

Security You Can Trust
Ledger Live works hand-in-hand with the Secure Element chip in your hardware wallet to guarantee that your private keys never touch the internet. Even if your computer or phone is compromised, your crypto remains safe because transactions must be confirmed physically on your Ledger device.
Backup and Recovery
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the most critical backup of your wallet. Keep it stored in a safe, offline place — ideally written on a metal recovery plate or stored in a fireproof location. If your device is lost or damaged, you can restore your wallet using this recovery phrase on a new Ledger device.
