Important: Ledger will never ask you to share your 24-word recovery phrase. Anyone asking for it is trying to take control of your assets.
Learn the safety basics01 / GET STARTED
How to log in to Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the companion app for managing accounts with your Ledger signer. Follow these simple steps to get to the right place safely.
Connect your Ledger
Connect your device to your computer or phone using a trusted cable or supported connection. Unlock the device yourself with its PIN.
Sync and review
Open the relevant account in Ledger Live. Follow its prompts to synchronize account information and verify details on your device before approving actions.
Keep access protected
Lock your device when you’re done. Keep your PIN private, use the genuine app, and never reveal your recovery phrase to anyone.
02 / PROTECT YOUR ACCESS
Your recovery phrase is not a login.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master backup for your wallet. Keep it offline and private. It is not required to log in to Ledger Live or to receive help from support.

03 / ACCOUNT ACCESS
What you need to know about wallet access
Ledger Live is an interface for your accounts. Your private keys remain secured by your Ledger device, and sensitive actions require your approval.
App access and device access are different
An optional Ledger Live app password can help protect local access to the app. Your Ledger device PIN unlocks the device. Neither one should be confused with or replaced by sharing your recovery phrase.
Balances refresh when accounts sync
Ledger Live reads account information from the relevant blockchain service. If a balance looks out of date, check your connection, app version, and account synchronization before taking action.
Transactions need your careful review
Before approving, check the recipient, network, and amount on your device display. A connected app cannot make a transaction safe if the details are not what you intended.
04 / QUICK ANSWERS
Ledger Login FAQs
Helpful answers for common Ledger Live sign-in and account-access questions.
Where do I sign in to Ledger Live?
Open the Ledger Live app you downloaded from Ledger’s official website, or use Ledger Live in your browser at ledger.com/ledger-live. Check the address carefully before connecting your device. Ledger Live access is managed through the app and your Ledger device—not through a website that asks you to type in your recovery phrase.
Do I need a Ledger account password to access my wallet?
Your Ledger device is used to approve access and transactions. Depending on your app setup, Ledger Live may offer an optional app password to protect local access on that computer or phone. That password is not your 24-word recovery phrase, and Ledger Support will never need your recovery phrase.
What should I do if I forget my Ledger Live password?
Use the password recovery or reset steps shown in the official Ledger Live app. Resetting local app access may require you to set the app up again and reconnect your Ledger device. Never enter your recovery phrase into a website, chat, email, or computer prompt to regain access.
Why is Ledger Live not connecting to my device?
Update Ledger Live from ledger.com, unlock your device with its PIN, try a known data-capable cable or another USB port, and close other wallet applications. Keep your device firmware and apps current using the official app, and follow the on-screen instructions without sharing your recovery phrase.
