Ledger® Login: Secure Access Through Your Hardware Wallet

Ledger® Login is fundamentally different from traditional account access. It doesn't involve usernames or passwords. Instead, it relies on physical ownership of your Ledger® device (Nano S Plus®, Nano X®, or Stax®) and knowledge of your PIN. This ensures your private keys remain offline at all times.

FAQ: Ledger® Login Security

Q1: Can hackers access my crypto if my computer is infected?

No. Malware can't extract keys from your Ledger® device. Always verify addresses/amounts on your device screen before confirming transactions.

Q2: What if I forget my PIN?

Wipe the device and restore it using your 24-word recovery phrase. Set a new PIN during setup.

Q3: Is Bluetooth pairing safe on public Wi-Fi?

Yes. Pairing uses encrypted keys. Transactions still require physical device confirmation, preventing remote exploits.

Q4: Why can't I "login" on mobile without my device?

Security protocol. Mobile app shows balances only. For transactions, your Ledger® must be connected via Bluetooth/USB-OTG.

Q5: How do I verify I downloaded real Ledger Live®?

Only download from Ledger.com/start or Ledger.com. Check SSL certificate 🔒 in browser.

Q6: Can I use multiple devices with one Ledger Live®?

Yes. Add accounts from different Ledger® devices in Settings → Accounts. Each requires its own physical login.
