Welcome Back
Sign in to your Ledger Live account to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, review account activity, and securely send or receive funds. Ledger Live connects your hardware wallet to the application layer so your private keys never leave your device.
For your best security, always verify you are logging in via the official app or website, and not a phishing site. Never enter your recovery phrase into any website or application.

How Ledger Live Sign‑In Works
When you log in to Ledger Live, here’s what generally happens behind the scenes:
- Your credentials (email + password) are sent securely to the server over HTTPS.
- If 2‑Factor Authentication is enabled, you’ll be prompted to enter a 2FA code (via authenticator app or SMS).
- Once verified, a session token or cookie is issued to keep you signed in.
- From then, Ledger Live allows interaction with your hardware wallet for signing transactions, account viewing, etc.
Ledger Live **never** has access to your private keys — those remain stored on your hardware device. Even if the host computer is compromised, your keys stay safe.
Security Tips for Signing In
To keep your Ledger Live sign‑in secure, consider these best practices:
- Use a strong, unique password that you don’t reuse anywhere else.
- Enable Two‑Factor Authentication (2FA) for your account.
- Always verify you're on the official Ledger website or application.
- Log out after use on shared or public devices.
- Watch for phishing emails and never click on suspicious links.
- Check your account activity regularly for any unexpected logins.
Handling Errors & Recovery
Occasionally, sign‑in attempts may fail. Here are common errors and solutions:
- Invalid credentials: Double‑check your email and password for typos.
- Account locked: Too many failed attempts may temporarily lock your account — try password recovery or wait a bit.
- 2FA code invalid or expired: Ensure time is correct on your authenticator app or request a new code.
- Network issues: Check your internet connection or retry later.
- Server downtime: Ledger may be doing maintenance — check their status page or support announcements.
For forgotten passwords, click “Forgot password?” and follow the password reset flow. You’ll usually receive an email with a secure reset link.
