What Is Ledger Live Login™?
Ledger Live Login™ is a device-based authentication system designed to provide you with secure and direct access to your cryptocurrency portfolio without exposing your private keys online. Unlike traditional cloud logins, it pairs with your Ledger hardware wallet to verify your identity and authorize all sensitive operations, ensuring maximum security.
Why Ledger Live Login™ Is Different
Unlike web-based wallets or centralized platforms that rely on usernames, passwords, and cloud storage, Ledger Live Login™ operates locally with device verification. Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware device, and physical device approval is mandatory for every transaction or critical action, drastically reducing the risk of hacking, phishing, or unauthorized access.
- Non-custodial: Keys stay safe on your Ledger device
- No server-stored credentials or cloud risk
- Requires physical presence and PIN entry for approval
- Optional password lock on app for local access control
How Ledger Live Login™ Works
Launching and Accessing Your Portfolio
When you open Ledger Live, you may be prompted to enter your app password if enabled. Otherwise, the dashboard opens, showing your portfolio overview.
Connecting Your Ledger Device
For sending assets, adding new accounts, or staking, connect your Ledger hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth. You'll need to unlock your device by entering your PIN and open the relevant application (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) on the device.
Authorizing Transactions
Every critical action requires you to physically approve it on your Ledger device. This includes sending tokens, installing apps, or changing settings. This physical confirmation provides an unbreakable security layer that software alone cannot match.
