Ledger* live @Wallet Overview and Best Practices
This login portal provides authorized access to your Ledger hardware wallet management dashboard. After signing in, you can review account balances, monitor transaction history, manage multiple cryptocurrencies, and perform firmware updates. Ledger hardware devices (Nano S, Nano X, and variants) are designed to keep private keys offline; Ledger* live acts as a secure bridge for transaction construction and device maintenance.
Security-first principles: always verify physical device prompts before approving any transaction. Never disclose your 24-word recovery phrase — it is the master key to your funds. Treat your recovery phrase like cash: store it offline in a safe location, use a metal backup if available, and never photograph or upload it.
Two-Factor & passphrase: enhance protection with optional two-factor authentication where supported, and consider using an additional passphrase (a 25th word) for plausible deniability and separation of accounts. Know that a passphrase must be memorized or stored securely; losing it may render those funds unrecoverable.
Firmware & software updates: regularly install official firmware updates on your Ledger device and keep Ledger* live up to date. Updates often include security fixes and improved compatibility. Only apply firmware from verified sources; cross-check official release notes before accepting critical operations.
Phishing protection: carefully check the page origin and domain before signing in. Bookmark the official Ledger* live portal you trust. Be skeptical of unsolicited emails, messages, or advertisements that mimic Ledger branding and attempt to collect credentials or recovery information.
Lost or compromised device: if a device is lost or suspected of being compromised, acquire a new Ledger device, and restore your wallet using your recovery phrase on the new hardware only. Revoke any active sessions and check for unexpected transactions. If you believe your recovery phrase was exposed, consider moving funds to a fresh wallet with a new recovery seed.
Privacy and session policies: this page limits data collection to necessary telemetry and session information for functionality and support. Consult the privacy policy for details on how identifiers and telemetry are handled. Use private browsing when accessing finance dashboards on shared systems, and never leave an authenticated session unattended.
Troubleshooting quick steps: ensure your browser is up to date, disable extensions that interfere with USB or WebHID, check device cable and connection, try a different USB port or Bluetooth pairing, and restart Ledger* live if necessary. For step-by-step help, use the official support center.
Final reminder: the safety of your crypto assets depends on following basic security hygiene — protect your recovery phrase, verify device prompts, keep firmware current, and use official downloads only. Ledger* live @Wallet is a management layer — your private keys remain secure on your hardware device when used correctly.
