Ledger® Login® (en-US) | Ledger Wallet
In the world of cryptocurrency, security and ownership are everything. The Ledger® hardware wallet is designed to give users full control over their digital assets through a secure, offline device. Unlike typical web-based accounts that require usernames and passwords, Ledger® Login® is based on hardware authentication—meaning only the person holding the device can access the wallet.
This article outlines how Ledger® login works, how to access your wallet safely, and why this login method provides industry-leading protection.
Understanding Ledger® Login®
Ledger® doesn’t follow the traditional login process. There’s no need for emails, usernames, or passwords. Instead, your Ledger® hardware wallet acts as your key. When you want to manage your crypto, you plug in the device, unlock it with a PIN, and use the Ledger Live application to access your assets.
Your private keys—the credentials that give access to your cryptocurrency—never leave the device. Transactions must be manually approved on the physical wallet, protecting you from online attacks such as phishing, malware, and browser exploits.
