Ledger® Login | Ledger Support – Accessing Your Crypto Securely

Ledger® is one of the world’s most trusted brands in cryptocurrency security, providing hardware wallets such as the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. Unlike traditional online platforms, Ledger’s login process uses hardware-based authentication instead of usernames and passwords. This approach ensures your private keys remain offline and in your control, offering unparalleled protection for your digital assets.

Access to your wallet is done securely through the Ledger Live app. If you're looking for guidance on how to log in and manage your crypto, this step-by-step support guide has you covered.

What Is Ledger® Login?

Ledger® Login refers to the secure process of connecting and unlocking your Ledger device to access your wallet and accounts via the Ledger Live application (available on desktop and mobile). There are no traditional credentials like emails or passwords. Your Ledger device is your key.

Every time you log in, you’re required to physically connect your device and verify transactions using the device itself. This eliminates the risks associated with cloud storage, phishing, or remote hacks.

How to Log In to Ledger Live

1. Download Ledger Live
   First, visit the official Ledger website to download the Ledger Live application. It’s available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS/Android for mobile use.
2. Connect Your Ledger Device
   Use a USB cable (or Bluetooth for Ledger Nano X on mobile) to connect your device to your computer or smartphone.
3. Unlock with PIN Code
   When prompted, enter the PIN code you created during setup. This ensures only authorized users can access the wallet.
4. Launch Ledger Live
   Once your device is unlocked, Ledger Live will detect it and give you access to your accounts and portfolio dashboard.
5. Access & Manage Assets
   From there, you can view balances, send or receive crypto, install apps, or stake supported coins—all while your private keys stay securely on your device.
