LWALLET / ACCESS GUIDE Official app
A CLEARER WAY TO ACCESS YOUR WALLET

There’s no password.
Your device is the key.

Ledger Live—now called Ledger Wallet—uses your Ledger hardware wallet to unlock access. No email login. No password to reset. Your keys stay on your device.

✓ Your PIN is entered on the device—not on this page.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW

There is no “Ledger Live account” with a password.

If a website or app asks you to log in with your email and password—or asks for your recovery phrase—it isn’t Ledger Wallet. Stop and close it.

01 / THE ACCESS FLOW

Connect. Unlock.
You’re in.

Ledger Wallet is the dashboard. Your hardware wallet is what authorizes access and protects your private keys.

01
↓

Get the official app

Download Ledger Wallet only from ledger.com. Avoid search ads, unofficial download sites, and links sent in unsolicited messages.

02
⌁

Connect your Ledger

Connect by USB, or use Bluetooth with a supported Nano X mobile setup.

03
▣

Unlock on the device

Enter your PIN directly on the Ledger hardware wallet. Your PIN is not entered into the computer or phone.

04
↗

View your accounts

Ledger Wallet can then display your accounts, balances, and transaction history.

That’s the login process. There is no “forgot password” link. Your PIN unlocks the device; your recovery phrase is for restoring it if it resets.

02 / BUILT DIFFERENTLY

Security that doesn’t depend on a password.

Because access is rooted in the hardware wallet, a fake login page has no legitimate Ledger password to collect. Your private keys remain on the device, and sensitive actions require your physical confirmation.

01

Keys stay offline

Your private keys are kept on the hardware wallet and are not exposed to your computer or phone.

✓
02

You confirm on-device

Transactions must be reviewed and confirmed on the Ledger screen before they are signed.

03

Verify what you sign

Check the recipient address and amount on your device—not only on your potentially compromised screen.

A NOTE ON YOUR RECOVERY PHRASE

Keep those 24 words
off the internet.

Your Secret Recovery Phrase is the master backup to your wallet. Never share it with anyone and never enter it into a website, chat, or app. Only enter it directly on your Ledger device when restoring.

⚠
No legitimate support agent needs your phrase.

Anyone asking for it is trying to take control of your assets.

03 / GOOD TO KNOW

Questions, answered.

Quick answers to common questions about Ledger Wallet access.

Does Ledger Live require an email and password?

No. Ledger Wallet (formerly Ledger Live) does not have an email-and-password login. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet and unlock it using its PIN.

What if I forget my PIN?

After three incorrect PIN attempts, the device resets. You can restore access only with your Secret Recovery Phrase. If you do not have that phrase, your assets cannot be restored.

Can I use Ledger Wallet on multiple devices?

Yes. Install the official app on each device and add your accounts individually. Your private keys remain protected by your Ledger hardware wallet.

Why was Ledger Live renamed Ledger Wallet?

Ledger Wallet reflects the app’s broader role in managing crypto and related services, beyond portfolio tracking.

What should I do if a site asks for my Ledger password or recovery phrase?

Close it. There is no Ledger Wallet password. Never type or share your Secret Recovery Phrase on a website, in an app, or with support staff.

Can I use Ledger Wallet without a hardware wallet?

The app is a companion interface for Ledger hardware wallets. A device is needed to access and sign transactions for Ledger-protected accounts.

STICK TO TRUSTED SOURCES

Official resources.

When in doubt, start from Ledger’s own website. Check the address carefully before downloading.
