Ledger Live Login

Ledger Live Login is your secure gateway to managing cryptocurrencies using Ledger hardware wallets. Whether you're accessing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or over 5,500 supported digital assets, the login process ensures your private keys remain offline and protected from online threats.

Important: Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone. Ledger will never ask for it via email, support chat, or social media.
