About Ledger® Live Wallet

Ledger® Live is the official companion app for Ledger® hardware wallets, designed to help users manage cryptocurrencies safely. It integrates portfolio tracking, account management, and transaction validation directly from your Ledger® device. The platform ensures private keys never leave your hardware wallet, maintaining top-level protection against unauthorized access.

Ledger® Live Login Process

Unlike traditional login systems, the Ledger® Live login process relies on hardware authentication rather than username and password. Here’s how it works:

  • Launch Ledger® Live Desktop or the Ledger® Live App on your computer or smartphone.
  • Connect your Ledger® device via USB or Bluetooth.
  • Enter the device PIN on your Ledger® hardware wallet.
  • Confirm the connection on the device screen to grant Ledger® Live access to your accounts.

Once connected, you can manage assets, view balances, and send or receive cryptocurrencies securely within the app.

Ledger® Live Download and Installation

To get started, download the application from the official Ledger® website. Choose between:

  • Ledger® Live Desktop – For Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
  • Ledger® Live App – For iOS and Android devices, available on App Store and Google Play.
⚠️ Tip: Avoid downloading Ledger® Live from third-party sites. Only use the official Ledger® download sources to prevent malware or phishing attacks.

Troubleshooting Ledger® Login Issues

If you encounter problems signing in or connecting your device, follow these troubleshooting steps:

  • Ledger Login not working: Ensure the Ledger® device firmware and Ledger® Live software are up to date.
  • Error Connecting Ledger® Account: Try a different USB cable or port, or restart both your computer and Ledger® device.
  • Ledger® Live App not working: Clear the app cache or reinstall the latest version from official stores.
  • Can’t verify Ledger® Wallet: Confirm the device authenticity through the app’s security verification process.

If these steps fail, contact the Ledger® Help Center for expert assistance.

Ledger® Account Recovery & 2FA Reset

In case you lose access to your device or need to restore your wallet, use your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only way to recover your crypto assets. Ledger® does not offer a 2FA reset like centralized exchanges — the seed phrase acts as your ultimate security key.

Always store your recovery phrase offline, preferably written on paper or engraved on a metal backup, away from online threats.

Unable to Connect Ledger® with Trezor

Ledger® and Trezor are separate hardware wallet ecosystems with distinct software support. You cannot connect a Ledger® device directly to Trezor Suite or vice versa. To manage both, use each wallet’s official app or a trusted multi-wallet interface like Electrum or Exodus that supports both devices independently.
