What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official application (desktop and mobile) used to manage cryptocurrencies with a Ledger ® hardware wallet. It provides account management, portfolio overview, secure sending & receiving, firmware updates, and integrations with exchange partners — while keeping private keys isolated on your hardware device. There is no cloud account: “Ledger Login” means connecting and unlocking your physical device via PIN and optional passphrase.

How Ledger Live login works

To access Ledger Live you install the app, connect your Ledger ® device (USB or Bluetooth for Nano X), open Ledger Live, and unlock the device using the PIN. Transactions must be confirmed on the device screen — this physical confirmation is the core security model that prevents remote account takeover.

Troubleshooting common issues

Ledger Login not working / Unable to login Ledger

Ensure Ledger Live is downloaded from ledger.com/ledger-live and updated to the latest version.
Try another USB cable/port or re-pair Bluetooth for Nano X.
Temporarily disable antivirus, restart Ledger Live and your device, and retry.

Error Connecting Ledger Account / Ledger App not Working

Reinstall Ledger Live, update your device firmware via the Manager, and check OS USB permissions. If you see repeated failures or “error decline,” confirm that you’re approving the correct transaction on the device screen — mismatched details or outdated firmware commonly cause declines.

⚠️ Important: Ledger ® uses a recovery phrase (24 words) for account recovery. Ledger Live does not store your seed. Never share your recovery phrase or enter it on websites.

Account recovery & 2FA notes

Ledger Live itself doesn’t manage two-factor authentication (2FA) for external services. If you lose access to your Ledger ®, restore using your 24-word recovery phrase on a new device via the Ledger Live setup flow. For exchanges where you used 2FA, follow the exchange’s recovery or reset procedure.
