🛡️ Essential Security Tips

  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone. Ledger will never ask for it.
  • Only download from official sources: Use ledger.com/start to ensure you get the genuine application.
  • Store your recovery phrase offline in a secure location, preferably in a fireproof safe.
  • Verify all transaction details on your Ledger device screen before confirming.
  • Keep your device firmware updated through Ledger Live for the latest security patches.

Accessing Your Ledger Live Account

Ledger Live Login Process: Unlike traditional online wallets, Ledger Live doesn't require a username and password login. Your access is controlled entirely by your physical Ledger hardware device. To access your accounts in Ledger Live, simply connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile device, enter your PIN code on the hardware wallet, and Ledger Live will automatically sync with your device.

This unique authentication method ensures maximum security – even if someone gains access to your computer or Ledger Live application, they cannot access your crypto without your physical device and PIN code. This is what makes Ledger's security model superior to software-only wallets.
