Ledger Live Login – Secure Access to Your Ledger Wallet

This short presentation explains what Ledger Live is, the correct way to log in and connect your Ledger hardware wallet, best practices to stay safe, and official resources to consult if you need help.

What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets. It provides a single place to view balances, send and receive crypto, install apps on your device, and use integrated services like staking, swapping, and fiat on-ramp providers. Always download Ledger Live from Ledger’s official website and official app stores.

Before you log in — safety checklist

• Download Ledger Live only from the official Ledger website or official app stores on mobile/desktop.
• Always verify your device’s screen prompts — your device is the ultimate source of truth.
• Never enter or share your 24-word recovery phrase with any app, website, or person.
• Keep your firmware and Ledger Live app updated to the latest official release.

Step-by-step: secure Ledger Live login and connect

1. Install Ledger Live — visit the official download page and choose the correct operating system. (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android).
2. Connect your Ledger device using the original cable. Unlock it by entering your PIN on the device itself — never on your computer screen.
3. Open Ledger Live and choose Get started if this is your first time, or let it detect your connected device.
4. Allow the Manager if prompted on the device so Ledger Live can read the apps installed on your device. Approve on the hardware wallet screen.
5. Use Ledger Sync (optional) to keep accounts synchronized across devices securely, following official instructions.

Best practices while using Ledger Live

• Never type your recovery phrase into any application — Ledger Live will never ask for it. Treat your recovery phrase like cash.
• Enable OS-level protections: keep your operating system and anti-malware tools current.
• Verify app signatures and downloads. On macOS, beware of counterfeit/rogue apps that impersonate Ledger Live.
• Use a hardware wallet screen to confirm transaction details before approving — the device is tamper-resistant and intended to be the final verifier.

Troubleshooting quick tips

If Ledger Live fails to detect your device, try:

• Changing the USB cable or port.
• Rebooting your computer and unlocking the hardware wallet again.
• Updating Ledger Live to the latest version and checking the support center for device-specific steps.

Summary: Ledger Live is the official gateway to your Ledger hardware wallet — use it carefully, install only official releases, never share your recovery phrase, and always validate actions on your device’s screen.
