Ledger® Live login is the gateway to managing your crypto assets with a Ledger® hardware wallet. Whether you use the Ledger® Live Desktop client or the Ledger® Live App on mobile, successful login combines correct software, a genuine device, and the right troubleshooting steps when things go wrong.

Download and prepare Ledger® Live

Always perform a Ledger Live Download from the official Ledger® site or official app stores. After installation, make sure your operating system and browser (if applicable) allow the app to access USB or Bluetooth. Open the app, follow initial prompts and either create a new profile or prepare to restore using your recovery phrase.

Common Ledger® Live login flows

There are two typical login flows: (1) unlock Ledger® Live with your app PIN or passcode; (2) access accounts by connecting your Ledger® device and unlocking it with the device PIN. For Ledger® Nano X, Bluetooth pairing may also be required for mobile. If prompts ask for your 24-word recovery phrase — stop immediately and confirm you are on an official page.

Troubleshooting Ledger® Live login issues

If Ledger Login not working, try these steps: use a different USB cable or port, update Ledger® Live and device firmware, restart the computer or phone, and toggle Bluetooth for Nano X. Reinstalling the app can fix corrupted installs. On Windows, run the app as administrator when permission errors appear.

Tip: Disable third-party wallet extensions or browser wallets temporarily — they can sometimes block device access.

Error Connecting Ledger Account & App not working

“Error Connecting Ledger Account” often stems from outdated firmware, incompatible OS drivers, or incorrect USB modes. If the Ledger Live App not Working, check app permissions, ensure no VPN blocks local connections, and consult the Ledger Help Center for device-specific guides.

Account Recovery, 2FA and verification

If you Can’t verify Ledger Wallet, confirm device authenticity with Ledger®’s verification steps and avoid entering your seed anywhere except on a genuine Ledger® device during a restore.

Interacting with other hardware (Unable to Ledger® Trezor)

“Unable to Ledger Trezor” refers to cross-device workflows. Some seeds are compatible across brands, but each device has its own recommended recovery and verification flow. Don’t attempt cross-migrations without thoroughly verifying steps from both vendors.

When to contact Ledger® Help Center

Use the Ledger® Help Center for firmware upgrades, counterfeit device checks, or advanced recovery help. Never share your 24-word phrase with support — Ledger® will never ask for it.
