🚀 Sign Into Your Ledger Account
Welcome to your secure login portal! Ledger doesn’t use traditional passwords or usernames—instead, access is granted only via your physical Ledger hardware device, ensuring your private keys never leave your wallet.
Note: Full access requires your Ledger device and PIN. Credentials above are only for additional watch‑only or app lock features—not required to unlock your funds.
📲 How Ledger “Log In” Works
- 1. Connect your Ledger hardware (Nano S Plus via USB, or Nano X via USB/Bluetooth).
- 2. Enter your PIN code directly on the device to unlock it.
- 3. A genuine check confirms device authenticity.
- 4. Ledger Live app opens and syncs with your device—no passwords needed!:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- 5. All actions (send, swap, stake) require physical confirmation on your device—keeping your crypto safe.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
You’re not logging into a server. Instead, you’re verifying ownership of the device—which holds your keys—locally!
🔐 Security First: Important Best Practices
- Only access Ledger Live via https://www.ledger.com/start. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

- Always confirm transaction details on your Ledger screen before approving.
- Keep your Ledger Live app and device firmware updated through the official start page.:contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Use a strong PIN and enable app/password lock where available.:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Avoid using public or untrusted devices for login—use your own trusted computer or phone.
❔ What If You Lose Your Ledger Device?
No worries! As long as you have your recovery phrase safely stored, you can restore your wallet on a new Ledger device. Just go through the “Recover from Recovery Phrase” flow via Ledger Live — no login needed.:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Never store the phrase digitally. Always keep it offline, in three separate secure places if possible.
🌐 Watch‑Only Access (Optional)
Looking to monitor your crypto without unlocking it? Use the optional fields above to enable watch-only mode — enter an email or username; or you can simply add public addresses within Ledger Live. This lets you view balances but not spend or transfer funds.
🆘 Troubleshooting Tips
- If Ledger Live doesn’t recognize your device, try a different USB port or cable—and make sure your firmware is up to date.:contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
- For Bluetooth pairing issues (Nano X), ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both device and phone, and re‑pair in the app.:contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
- If you’ve locked yourself out by entering the wrong PIN too many times, your device will factory reset. You can restore using your recovery phrase.:contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
- “Genuine check failed”? That usually means outdated firmware or app—update both via Ledger Live or the start page.:contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
