Understanding Ledger Live Login

Ledger® Live is the official companion software for Ledger® hardware wallets, providing a secure interface to manage your cryptocurrency assets. Unlike traditional online wallets, Ledger® Live doesn't store your private keys or require a username/password combination for access. Instead, security is maintained through your physical Ledger® device.

Note: Your crypto assets remain secure on your Ledger® hardware wallet, not in the Ledger® Live application itself. The software simply provides an interface to interact with your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't I need a password to access Ledger Live?

Ledger® Live doesn't store your private keys or require a traditional login because security is handled by your physical Ledger® device. You must connect and unlock your hardware wallet to access your funds.

What should I do if my Ledger device is lost or stolen?

If you've properly stored your recovery phrase (24-word seed phrase), your funds are safe. Simply acquire a new Ledger® device, restore it using your recovery phrase, and your assets will be accessible again.

Can I access Ledger Live from multiple computers?

Yes, you can install Ledger® Live on multiple computers. However, to access your funds, you'll always need to connect your physical Ledger® device and enter its PIN code.

Is there a web version of Ledger Live?

No, Ledger® Live is a desktop and mobile application that you download and install. This approach enhances security by reducing potential attack vectors associated with web browsers.

How do I update Ledger Live?

The application will notify you when updates are available. Always download updates directly from the official Ledger® website or through the application itself to avoid counterfeit software.

What happens if I forget my Ledger device PIN?

After three incorrect PIN attempts, the device will reset itself. You can then restore access to your funds using your 24-word recovery phrase, but this process will generate a new PIN.
