Ledger Live Login: Connect Your Hardware Wallet Safely

Use Ledger Live Login to authenticate via your Ledger device — no passwords, just secure hardware access.

How Ledger Live Login Works

Unlike usernames or passwords, Ledger Live Login relies on **your physical Ledger hardware wallet** — such as the Nano S Plus or Nano X — as the authentication method. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

To log in, connect your Ledger device via **USB (desktop)** or **Bluetooth (Nano X + mobile)**, then enter your PIN directly on the device. This proves that you own the device, without exposing your private keys. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Key Advantages of This Login Method

Offline Key Security

Your private keys remain protected on the Ledger device’s Secure Element, preventing exposure to your computer. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
