Ledger Live Login: Securely Connect Your Hardware Wallet
Use Ledger Live Login to access your crypto with hardware-backed authentication — no cloud passwords, just you and your device.
What Is Ledger Live Login?
Ledger Live Login does not rely on a traditional username and password. Instead, you authenticate through your physical Ledger device — like the Nano X or Nano S Plus — making the device itself your “login key.” :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
When you open the Ledger Live app, you connect your hardware wallet, enter your PIN on the device, and confirm access. All private keys remain securely stored on the Ledger device — never exposed online. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
