Cryptocurrency Management Platform

Log in confidently. Manage everything in one place.

Ledger Live connects to your Ledger hardware wallet so you can monitor portfolios, receive and send assets, stake, and explore Web3 — while your private keys stay offline. This page explains how login works, the benefits for day‑to‑day management, and the checks that keep you safe.

What “login” means in Ledger Live

There is no custodial username/password. You connect a Ledger device, unlock it with your PIN on the device, and approve operations on its secure screen. You may add an App Lock (password or biometrics) to protect local access on your computer or phone. At all times, the 24‑word recovery phrase remains offline and never typed on a keyboard.

Hardware‑first: Transactions and address checks are confirmed on‑device.

Local privacy: App Lock + OS user account protect sessions on shared machines.

No seed online: Backup stays on paper/steel; never enter it into websites.

Platform features that pair with secure login

Unified portfolio: Track balances, allocations, and performance across accounts.
Send & receive: Generate verified addresses and send with clear fee controls.
Staking & rewards: Stake supported assets and follow yields inside the app.
Swap & buy/sell: Use integrated partners without exposing your private keys.
Manager: Install coin apps, manage firmware, and enable networks with guided flows.
Web3 access: Connect to compatible dApps while keeping approvals on the device.

Open the app: Launch Ledger Live and (optionally) enable App Lock for local privacy.
Connect & unlock: Plug in your Ledger device and enter your PIN on the device, not the keyboard.
Check updates: Use Manager to update firmware and coin apps if prompted (keep the recovery phrase offline).
Sync accounts: Add or scan accounts for the assets you hold.
Verify addresses: When receiving, display the address on the device and match it with the app before sharing.
Approve actions: For sends, swaps, or staking, confirm details on the device screen to finalize.

Quick setup checklist

Install Ledger Live: Download from the official website only.
Initialize device: Set a PIN and back up the 24‑word recovery phrase offline.
Add networks: Install coin apps on your device and add accounts in the app.
Test transaction: Start with a tiny send to confirm your flow is correct.
Organize: Label accounts, choose fiat display, and set price alerts if available.
Stay current: Keep the OS, app, firmware, and coin apps updated.

Security reminders

Never share your recovery phrase: No website or support agent should ever ask for it.
Compare on the device: Amounts and addresses must match the hardware screen.
Start small on new chains: Test first, then scale.
Watch for phishing: Typosquats, pop‑ups, and “urgent” warnings are classic traps.

What if I forget my device PIN?

Reset the device and restore from the 24‑word recovery phrase — entered on the device only. Keep the phrase offline and secure.

Is the app free?

Yes. The app is free to download and use with Ledger devices. Integrated partners may charge fees for swaps, purchases, or staking.
