Launch Ledger Live on your desktop or mobile device to start the encrypted session.
Hardware Bridge
Connect your Nano device via USB or Bluetooth to create a hardware-based security link.
Secure Unlock
Enter your PIN on the device and verify the login request to access your digital assets.

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your assets. Never enter it on any website or app; Ledger will only ever request it on the device itself during recovery.

Common Questions
What is Ledger Live and why do I need a login?
Ledger Live is the central hub for managing your crypto assets. Setting up a login password encrypts your local data, ensuring your transaction history and account details remain private on your computer.
How do I synchronize my hardware wallet?
Connect your device via USB, enter your PIN, and open the specific app for the asset you want to manage. Ledger Live will communicate with the device to verify and sync your accounts securely.
Is my password the same as my 24-word phrase?
Absolutely not. Your password is for the software interface, while your 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your blockchain assets. Never enter your recovery phrase into any software or website.
What happens if I forget my login password?
If you forget your Ledger Live password, you will need to reset the application. This will clear your local settings, but your funds remain safe on the blockchain and can be restored by re-syncing your device.
Why is my account synchronization failing?
Synchronization failures are often due to outdated software or temporary server issues. Ensure you are using the latest version of Ledger Live and that your internet connection is stable before retrying.
