Ledger Live Login gives you secure access to your Ledger Wallet app (formerly Ledger Live). Instead of a central online account, Ledger uses your hardware device + local app: authenticate with your device and PIN — not a password stored on servers. This model reduces centralized attack risk and keeps you in control. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Quick start (3 steps)
-
- Download the official Ledger Wallet (Ledger Live) app from Ledger.com/start. Always verify downloads/signatures. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Connect your Ledger device and open the app—follow on-screen setup (PIN + 24-word recovery). Do NOT share the recovery phrase. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Use Ledger Live Login inside the app: approve transactions on your device for strong, hardware-backed authentication.
Security pro tip: only download Ledger Wallet from ledger.com or official app stores. Reports of fake apps targeting macOS users show attackers asking for seed phrases — never enter your recovery phrase into apps or websites. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
