Access your Ledger Live app safely to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, stake assets, and view your transactions in real time. Learn the correct way to log in, connect your hardware wallet, and protect your private keys.
Learn How to Log InLogging in to Ledger Live is not like signing into a traditional online account. Ledger Live is a self-custody platform, meaning you hold your keys and control your data. Your Ledger device acts as your secure login — every transaction must be confirmed physically on your device.
Follow these steps to access your Ledger Live dashboard safely and ensure your assets remain protected from phishing, malware, and unauthorized access.
Download and install the latest version of Ledger Live from the official Ledger website: ledger.com/ledger-live. Open the application on your computer or mobile device. Always verify you are on the legitimate Ledger website before downloading any software.
Plug your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax into your computer using the provided USB cable or connect via Bluetooth if supported. Unlock your device by entering your PIN code directly on its screen.
Once connected, Ledger Live will detect your device and display available accounts and apps. Click the “Manager” tab to synchronize your hardware wallet with the latest firmware and crypto app updates.
Ledger Live will prompt you to verify the authenticity of your device. This ensures your hardware wallet is genuine and has not been tampered with. Follow the on-screen steps — your device should confirm “Genuine Ledger device verified.”
After verification, you’ll be logged into your Ledger Live dashboard. From here, you can manage your portfolio, send or receive crypto, and monitor balances securely. Your private keys never leave the device — they remain encrypted within the Secure Element chip.
Ledger Live is designed with security at its core, but users must stay alert to online threats. Always remember that Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase, PIN code, or any personal information. If you see a website pretending to be Ledger asking for these, it’s a scam.
Only access Ledger Live through official channels — bookmark ledger.com and use verified app stores for mobile downloads. Avoid entering sensitive information into pop-ups, ads, or links from emails and social media.
Enable password lock on Ledger Live for extra protection. This feature prevents unauthorized access to your portfolio data if your computer or phone is lost or stolen. You can enable it in the “Settings” section of the app.
Once logged in, you gain full access to your digital portfolio. You can add multiple crypto accounts, view your total balance, and explore DeFi and staking options directly from the app. Ledger Live supports thousands of coins and tokens including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and many ERC-20 tokens.
Through integrated services, you can buy, sell, and swap crypto without leaving the app — all while your private keys stay safely offline. Ledger Live combines usability with hardware-grade security to give you peace of mind.
Advanced users can connect Ledger Live with third-party apps such as MetaMask for interacting with DeFi protocols, NFTs, and Web3 applications securely using their hardware wallet as a key manager.
If Ledger Live fails to recognize your device, first ensure your USB cable or Bluetooth connection is functioning properly. Try switching USB ports or restarting both the device and Ledger Live app.
Keep your Ledger firmware up to date. Firmware updates include critical security patches and improved compatibility. You can check for updates directly from the “Manager” tab within Ledger Live.
If the application won’t open or freezes at startup, reinstall it from the official Ledger website. Never download from unofficial sources. For persistent problems, visit support.ledger.com and search the help center for step-by-step solutions.
