Quickly access and manage your crypto across devices with Ledger Live. Secure, simple, and built to put you fully in control.
Ledger Live is the gateway to your hardware wallet — a single, polished interface where you check balances, send and receive coins, install app updates, and track portfolio performance. The Ledger Live login experience balances convenience with the highest available security practices: local PIN protection, device confirmations, and optional passphrase support. This means you get one-click access without compromising the keys that secure your assets.
Launch the Ledger Live desktop app (Windows/macOS/Linux) or the mobile app. If you don’t have it yet, download from Ledger's official site and verify the installer.
Plug in your Ledger hardware (Nano S Plus, Nano X, etc.) or pair via Bluetooth (supported devices). Always confirm that the device screen shows the connecting prompt before you proceed.
Enter your PIN on the device and confirm the login on the device’s screen. Ledger Live never asks for your 24-word recovery phrase — that stays on the device and nowhere else.
Once authenticated, Ledger Live remembers your session securely for the duration required and lets you navigate your dashboard with one click — view balances, manage accounts, or open the Manager to install apps.
Ledger Live is designed so that the cryptographic keys never leave your hardware device. Login acts as a bridge between the app and your device — confirmations (send, install, change settings) always require physical interaction on the Ledger device.
No. Ledger Live requires a Ledger hardware wallet for key management. The app can show read-only account information for some public addresses, but any transaction must be confirmed on the hardware device.
If your device is lost, use your 24-word recovery phrase on a new Ledger device or a compatible wallet to recover access. If you suspect theft, move funds to a new account after recovery and consider using a passphrase for additional protection.
