Official Dashboard Access for Ledger® Users
Secure, seamless access to your cryptocurrency portfolio with industry-leading hardware wallet protection.
Learn MoreLedger Live is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets, providing users with a unified platform to manage their cryptocurrency portfolios securely. Designed with both beginners and experienced crypto enthusiasts in mind, Ledger Live serves as your comprehensive dashboard for buying, selling, exchanging, and staking digital assets while maintaining the highest security standards through hardware wallet integration.
The Ledger Live login process is fundamentally different from traditional online account access. Instead of relying solely on usernames and passwords that can be vulnerable to phishing attacks or data breaches, Ledger Live requires physical authentication through your Ledger hardware device. This multi-layered security approach ensures that your private keys—the cryptographic codes that control access to your cryptocurrency—never leave the secure element chip embedded within your Ledger device.
When you initiate a Ledger Live login, the application communicates with your connected Ledger hardware wallet to verify your identity and grant access to your portfolio dashboard. This process creates an impenetrable barrier between your assets and potential online threats, as transactions must be physically confirmed on the device itself. Even if your computer or smartphone is compromised by malware, your funds remain protected because the critical security operations occur within the isolated environment of your Ledger hardware wallet.
Your private keys remain stored offline in a certified secure chip, protected from online threats and unauthorized access.
Manage over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens from a single, intuitive interface with real-time portfolio tracking.
You hold complete ownership of your assets with your 24-word recovery phrase—no third party can access your funds.
The Ledger Live authentication system operates on a principle of decentralized security, where your identity verification doesn't depend on centralized servers storing sensitive information. When you first set up Ledger Live, you create accounts that are cryptographically linked to your hardware wallet, establishing a secure connection that can only be accessed with the physical device present.
Upon launching the Ledger Live application, you'll be prompted to connect your Ledger device via USB cable or Bluetooth, depending on your device model. Once connected, you'll need to enter your device PIN directly on the hardware wallet's screen—not on your computer or phone. This critical security feature ensures that even keylogging software cannot capture your credentials. After successful PIN entry, Ledger Live synchronizes with your device to display your portfolio, transaction history, and available operations.
Every transaction or account modification initiated through Ledger Live requires explicit confirmation on your hardware wallet. When you attempt to send cryptocurrency, the transaction details appear on the device's screen for manual verification. You must physically press the buttons on your Ledger to approve the action, creating an unhackable confirmation mechanism that prevents unauthorized transactions even if your Ledger Live application is compromised. This combination of hardware authentication and transaction signing establishes Ledger Live as one of the most secure cryptocurrency management platforms available today.
Ledger employs a zero-knowledge architecture, meaning the company never has access to your private keys, recovery phrase, or personal data. All sensitive information remains exclusively on your device.
Ledger hardware wallets feature bank-grade secure element chips (CC EAL5+ certified) that physically protect your private keys from extraction attempts, malware, and physical tampering.
The Ledger Live application code is open-source and regularly audited by security researchers worldwide, ensuring transparency and allowing the community to verify the absence of backdoors.
