Ledger Live Login Security Features
Your security is the foundation of Ledger Live. The login process incorporates multiple robust security layers designed to protect access to your assets.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
We support 2FA for an additional layer of protection, requiring a one-time code generated by an authenticator app or sent via SMS alongside your password, ensuring only you can access your account.
Encrypted Credentials Storage
All login information travels through encrypted connections (HTTPS) and is stored securely using industry-standard encryption protocols to keep your credentials safe from interception or unauthorized access.
Hardware Wallet Verifications
Ledger Live pairs with your Ledger hardware wallet for transaction signing and account verification, ensuring private keys never leave your device, reinforcing access control during login.
Session Timeout and Automatic Logout
Automatic logout after a defined period of inactivity protects your account from unauthorized use when you’re away, securing your session and prompting fresh login credentials.
Secure Recovery Process
In case of lost access, Ledger Live provides a secure account recovery process based on your hardware wallet’s recovery phrase, ensuring only legitimate account owners regain access.

Having a Ledger Live account gives you peace of mind and full control over your cryptocurrency assets. Here's what you need to know:
