What Is Ledger Live Login?
The term "Ledger Live login" refers to the secure process of accessing your crypto wallet through the official Ledger Live application. Unlike typical web-based wallets, Ledger Live doesn’t require a username or password—instead, your Ledger hardware wallet (such as Nano S, Nano X, or Nano S Plus) serves as the only method of authentication.
When you "log in" to Ledger Live, you're actually unlocking access to your assets by connecting your Ledger device and confirming transactions physically on the device itself.
Why Is There No Password Login?
Ledger prioritizes security by avoiding cloud-based credentials. Your private keys are stored offline on your Ledger device, and no password or PIN is stored on your computer or mobile device. This reduces the risk of phishing, data breaches, and unauthorized access.
