Here’s why the login process is secure:
- Your recovery phrase is stored securely offline in your Ledger device.
- The private keys are never exposed to your computer or smartphone, reducing the risk of hacking.
- Any transaction or login action requires physical confirmation on your Ledger device.
- Ledger Live never stores your credentials or recovery phrase online, preventing phishing attacks.
Ledger Live gives you control over your assets with the highest level of security available for crypto wallets.
⚠️ Common Login Issues and Solutions
While the Ledger Live login process is straightforward, there are some common issues you may encounter. Here’s how to resolve them:
- Device Not Recognized: Try reconnecting your Ledger device using a different USB cable or port. If you’re using Bluetooth, ensure your Ledger Nano X is paired correctly with your mobile device.
- PIN Incorrect: If you enter the wrong PIN three times, your device will reset. Make sure you’re entering the correct PIN and restore the device using your recovery phrase.
- Ledger Live App Not Opening: Make sure the app is up to date by visiting the official Ledger website to download the latest version of Ledger Live.
