🔐 Ledger Login — Safe Access Guide

How to safely unlock, verify and use your Ledger hardware wallet — private keys never leave the device.

Step-by-step

Open Official Ledger Live
Download only from the official Ledger website. Avoid unofficial apps, browser extensions, or email links asking you to verify or recover your wallet.
Connect Your Ledger Device
Use a trusted certified USB cable. Ledger Live should detect it and the device screen should light up. Try another USB port before assuming a device problem.
Unlock With Your PIN (On the Device Only)
Enter the PIN on the device screen, not on your computer — prevents keyloggers and fake pop-ups. Typing wrong PIN too many times resets the device.
Verify & Approve Only on the Ledger Device
Always confirm amounts and that the receiving address EXACTLY matches the device screen. Never approve unclear or suspicious actions.
Security Must-Dos
- Never share your 24-word recovery phrase — it is never requested by Ledger support, apps, or websites.
- Keep firmware & Ledger Live updated — only from official sources.
- Verify addresses on the device (address replacement malware exists).
- Optional: enable a passphrase for an extra hidden wallet (lost passphrase = lost access).
