01 / GETTING STARTED

How to access your Ledger account

Ledger wallet access is a combination of Ledger Live and your hardware wallet. Follow these steps from official sources.

01

Install Ledger Live

Download the companion app for desktop or mobile directly from the official Ledger website. Check the address before downloading.

Official download
02

Connect your device

Connect your Ledger hardware wallet with a compatible USB cable or supported wireless connection. Unlock it by entering your PIN directly on the device.

PIN on device only
03

Open and manage

Open the relevant asset app on your device when prompted. In Ledger Live, add or view accounts, check balances, and review details before approving transactions.

Approve on device

New to Ledger? Use the setup instructions shown in Ledger Live and on your device. Never restore a wallet using a recovery phrase supplied by someone else.

02 / SECURITY FIRST

Your recovery phrase is not a login.

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the backup to your wallet—not a password for Ledger Live. Anyone with it can restore your wallet and control its assets. Keep it offline and private.

03 / QUICK HELP

Troubleshooting Ledger login

Try these basic checks if the app cannot connect or your account information looks out of date.

A

Device not detected?

Unlock your device, check the cable and port, and close other wallet apps that may be using the connection.

B

Account or balance missing?

Make sure Ledger Live is up to date and refresh the account. Confirm you are checking the right network and account.

C

Forgot your PIN?

Do not guess repeatedly. Follow official device recovery instructions; resetting a device requires your own recovery phrase to restore access.

D

Still need help?

Use the support center reached from Ledger.com. Genuine support will never ask you to reveal your recovery phrase.

04 / FAQ

Common questions about Ledger Login

Quick, practical answers for accessing your wallet and staying safe.

Where do I sign in to my Ledger account?

Ledger wallet access is managed through the official Ledger Live app and your Ledger hardware wallet—not through a web page asking for your recovery phrase. Download Ledger Live only from ledger.com/ledger-live, connect your device, and unlock it with its PIN.

Can I access my Ledger wallet without my device?

Ledger Live can display portfolio information, but signing transactions requires your Ledger device. If your device is lost or damaged, you can restore access with your recovery phrase on a replacement device. Keep that phrase offline and never enter it into a website, chat, or computer.

What should I do if Ledger Live does not detect my device?

Update Ledger Live from the official source, check your cable and USB connection, unlock the device, and open the relevant app on the device if prompted. Restart both devices if needed. Never follow unsolicited support links or share your recovery phrase to troubleshoot.

Does Ledger Support need my recovery phrase?

No. Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master backup to your assets. No legitimate Ledger support agent, website, or app needs you to disclose it. Anyone who asks for it is attempting to gain control of your wallet.
