Ledger® Login | Ledger Support

When it comes to managing your cryptocurrency safely, Ledger® is one of the most trusted names in the industry. With its Ledger Nano S Plus®, Nano X®, and Ledger Stax® hardware wallets, combined with the Ledger Live® app, users can buy, send, receive, stake, and track crypto with full control over their private keys.

However, new users often ask: “How do I log in to Ledger?”
The answer is unique — because Ledger doesn’t use traditional logins.


🔐 What Does "Ledger Login" Actually Mean?

Unlike most platforms, Ledger does not use usernames or passwords. Instead, Ledger wallets rely on hardware-based authentication. Your access is tied directly to your Ledger hardware device, and all transactions require approval on the device itself.

To “log in” to Ledger, you simply:

  1. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet to your computer or smartphone.
  2. Open the Ledger Live app (available for desktop and mobile).
  3. Enter your PIN code on the device.
  4. Unlock access to your accounts within Ledger Live.

No email addresses. No passwords. No cloud-based sign-ins.
That’s the beauty — and the security — of Ledger.


🖥️ Ledger Live Access: Desktop & Mobile

Ledger Live is the main interface for interacting with your wallet. You can download it from the official site:

👉 https://www.ledger.com/start

Once installed:

  • On desktop, connect your Ledger device via USB.
  • On mobile, connect your Nano X or Ledger Stax via Bluetooth.

Your device must be unlocked (with your PIN) before you can access accounts or approve transactions.

For added protection, you can enable Password Lock in Ledger Live settings. This requires a local app password before opening, ideal for shared devices.


⚠️ Common Login Issues & Fixes

If you're having trouble accessing Ledger Live or connecting your device, here are quick solutions:

  • Device not recognized?
    Try a different USB port or cable. Make sure the device is on the home screen.
  • Bluetooth not connecting (mobile)?
    Restart the Ledger device and phone. Re-pair via Bluetooth settings.
  • Ledger Live won't open?
    Reinstall the app from the official website and ensure your OS is up to date.
  • PIN code issues?
    If you enter the wrong PIN three times, your device resets. You can recover it with your 24-word recovery phrase.
