What the Ledger Live Login Provides
Ledger Live login is the gateway between your desktop/mobile app and your Ledger device. It enables authenticated sessions so you can safely view balances, sign transactions on-device, and use Ledger apps without exposing your private keys.
Core benefits
Device-backed security
Your keys stay on the Ledger device — never on the computer.
Clear UX
A guided login flow with on-device confirmation for every sensitive action.
Cross-platform
Works across Windows, macOS, Linux and Ledger Live mobile.
Trusted updates
Official, signed software ensures authenticity.
How it fits in
Ledger Live login is not an account in the cloud — it’s a local session that pairs the app with your physical Ledger device. Sessions are ephemeral and signing always requires direct confirmation on your device.
