Secure Access with Hardware
Logging in to Ledger Live isn’t about usernames or passwords—it’s all about your physical Ledger device. Launch the app, connect your Nano via USB (or Bluetooth on Nano X), and unlock it by entering your PIN on the device itself.
Step‑by‑Step Login Flow
-
Download the official Ledger Live from Ledger.com—never use third-party links .
-
Connect and unlock your Ledger hardware.
-
Open the app, which detects the device and runs a “Genuine check.”
-
Authorize access, then dashboard and portfolio become visible.
Managing Your Dashboard
Once logged in, you can view balances, send/receive coins, stake, swap—everything happens and is verified on your hardware .
Logging Out or Resetting
There’s no traditional “logout” button. To remove your account data, go to Settings → Help → Reset Ledger Live. This wipes all local information:
“There isn’t an overt ‘logout’ button … reset the application in settings. Which deletes the info in the computer” .
Bonus Security Tip
You can add an optional app‑lock password so Ledger Live prompts you before opening . Remember: real login always uses your Ledger device plus PIN—never your 24‑word seed phrase online.
