Ledger® Live — Login & Getting Started | Getting Started Guide

Ledger Live connects your Ledger hardware wallet securely to manage thousands of cryptocurrencies with ease. Your private keys remain safely on your Ledger device, while Ledger Live provides a powerful and intuitive interface to monitor balances, send and receive assets, and update your wallet firmware.

Secure Hardware-Backed Authentication

Ledger Live does not require usernames, passwords, or traditional login forms. Authentication happens through your Ledger hardware device: when you connect it, you confirm a PIN and validate transactions directly on the device screen, preventing unauthorized access and malware risks.

Comprehensive Portfolio Management

Seamless Buying, Selling, and Swapping

Integrated third-party exchanges allow buying, selling, and swapping cryptocurrencies directly within Ledger Live, all with device confirmation for security and privacy, reducing exposure to external platforms.

Regular Firmware and Software Updates

Ledger Live streamlines updating your device’s firmware to ensure you benefit from the latest security patches and feature enhancements. These updates are verified and require your physical confirmation on-device.
