Ledger hardware wallets use device-based security rather than a traditional website username-and-password login. To manage supported digital assets, users typically connect their Ledger device to official Ledger software and approve sensitive actions on the physical device.
Open the official Ledger wallet-management software.
Connect your Ledger hardware wallet to your computer or compatible device.
Unlock the device using your PIN.
Follow the instructions displayed by the official software.
Select the account or supported asset you want to manage.
Review transaction details carefully and confirm operations on the Ledger device.
Your recovery phrase is the backup that can restore access to your wallet. Keep it offline and private. Never enter it into a website, online form, email, or chat, and never provide it to someone claiming to be Ledger Support.
Be cautious of websites advertising a “Ledger login” that request your recovery phrase, private keys, or PIN. Use only official Ledger software and verify the website address before downloading software or entering any information.
If your Ledger device is not detected, check the cable connection, restart the official software, and ensure the software and device firmware are current. If you continue experiencing problems, use Ledger's official support resources.
Important: Ledger does not require your recovery phrase or PIN to provide legitimate support. Keep these credentials secret and approve transactions only after verifying the details on your hardware wallet.
