Logging in to Ledger Live is the process you use to access and manage your cryptocurrencies securely through the Ledger Live app. Follow these steps to log in and start managing your assets.
How to Log In to Ledger Live
- Open Ledger Live:
- Launch the Ledger Live app on your computer or mobile device. If you haven’t installed it yet, download it from the official Ledger website.
- Connect Your Ledger Device:
- Use the USB cable to connect your Ledger hardware wallet (such as Ledger Nano S or Ledger Nano X) to your computer. If you’re using a mobile device, connect via Bluetooth if supported.
- Enter Your PIN:
- On your Ledger device, enter the PIN code you set during the initial setup. This PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized access.

- Optional: Enable Password Lock:
- For additional security, you can set up a password lock within Ledger Live. This adds an extra layer of protection, requiring a password every time you open the app.

Troubleshooting Login Issues
- Forgot PIN: If you forget your PIN, you’ll need to reset your Ledger device using your recovery phrase.
