Ledger Live Login: Step-by-Step Guide
Getting started with Ledger Live login is simple and secure. First, download Ledger Live only from the official Ledger website and install it on your desktop or mobile device . Next, connect your Ledger hardware wallet—via USB or Bluetooth for Nano X—and enter your PIN code directly on the device. Ledger Live then detects your wallet and grants access to your dashboard .
Why This Login Is Safe
Ledger Live doesn’t use classic usernames or passwords—instead, your device plus your PIN acts as the credential, and private keys stay offline . Optionally, you can enable an application password lock in Settings → General for additional privacy protection on your computer or mobile app .
Logging Out or Locking Ledger Live
Ledger Live does not feature a traditional “logout” button. Instead, you can:
-
Close the app, and if you’ve set a password lock, it’ll prompt on reopening .
-
Or go to Settings → Help → Reset Ledger Live, which clears all app data—effectively logging out by wiping the local state. The blockchain-stored assets remain safe .
Auto‑Lock Settings
On some models, Ledger device auto-lock behavior can be configured on the device itself, e.g. after a certain inactivity period, the device locks and login requires PIN entry again .
Best Practices
-
Always use your own hardware device – you can't log in without it.
-
Never share your PIN or recovery phrase.
-
Keep both your Ledger Live app and firmware updated at all times.
