A concise presentation-style HTML handout covering Ledger Live's login experience, security guidance, and practical tips. Suitable for printing or copying into slides.
Ledger Live is a desktop and mobile application used to manage cryptocurrency assets on Ledger hardware wallets. The login section is the user’s gateway to portfolio balances, transaction history, staking, and application features. This document explains the login process, common UI patterns, recommended security measures, and concise troubleshooting advice. Use this material as a one-page handout or convert into a 10-slide presentation.
Launch Ledger Live and connect your Ledger hardware device (Ledger Nano S/X or other supported device) to the computer or mobile device using USB or Bluetooth (if applicable). Ensure the device is powered on and unlocked using your PIN.
Ledger Live will detect the connected device. The app requests permission to access the Ledger accounts and will prompt the user to confirm operations on the hardware device. Always verify the device screen for prompts before confirming.
The hardware wallet PIN is entered on the device itself to prevent keylogging. After PIN entry, the app and the device perform handshake operations; cryptographic keys remain on the device and never leave it.
Users may opt to use an additional passphrase (25th word) to create hidden wallets. Ledger Live may cache session data for convenience but never exposes the private keys. Close sessions and remove device access when finished if using a shared system.
The recovery phrase is the ultimate backup for your crypto. Store it offline in a safe, never photograph it, and do not share it with anyone. Ledger Support will never ask for your recovery phrase or PIN.
Always read transaction details on the device screen before approving. Even if the app shows correct information, the device’s display is the final source of truth for signing requests.
Update Ledger Live and the device firmware regularly. Updates patch security issues and add new features. Only download Ledger Live from the official website and verify checksums when available.
For high-value holdings, consider using a dedicated machine with minimal software installed and restricted network access. This reduces attack surface.
Confirm the USB cable and ports are functional. Try different cables and USB ports, reboot the device, ensure it is unlocked, and confirm Ledger Live is granted permission to access the device.
If you forget a PIN, the device can be reset, but the recovery phrase is required to restore accounts. If the passphrase is forgotten, accounts using that passphrase cannot be recovered.
Network congestion is commonly the cause. Consider re-broadcasting with an adjusted fee if the network supports it, or use Ledger Live's recommended fee suggestions.
