Your True "Login": Private Keys Never Leave Your Device
Ledger Live doesn't require a traditional username and password login. Instead, secure access is granted the moment you connect your Ledger hardware wallet and validate the connection with your private PIN. This process ensures your sensitive keys remain physically isolated, protected from online threats.
Connection Status
Status: Device Disconnected
- Private keys remain safe.

The Ledger Live Access Protocol
The process you perform to initiate a session—connecting your hardware—is the cryptographic equivalent of a login. When you plug in your Ledger and enter your secret PIN directly on the device, you are authorizing the Ledger Live application to securely view your balances and prepare transactions. Crucially, at no point is your 24-word recovery phrase or private keys transmitted to the computer or the internet. This principle of *non-exposure* is the cornerstone of Ledger's security model. Unlike traditional digital wallets where your "login" exposes you to phishing risks, the Ledger Live process requires physical interaction and device verification for every session, making it immune to remote cyber-attacks targeting login credentials.

Once connected, Ledger Live becomes your central financial dashboard.

Secure Transactions
Initiating a 'Send' transaction requires multi-step physical verification. After preparing the transaction in Ledger Live, you must manually confirm the amount, address, and fees on the tiny, trusted screen of your hardware wallet. This final layer of human verification prevents any sophisticated malware from altering transaction details before they are signed, ensuring what you see on the Ledger screen is exactly what is being broadcast to the network.
