Understanding how Ledger Live protects your cryptocurrency assets through secure authentication methods and best practices.
Ledger Live is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets, allowing you to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, send and receive transactions, and access various crypto services.
Unlike traditional applications, Ledger Live doesn't use username/password combinations. Instead, authentication happens through your physical Ledger device, ensuring that only you can access your funds.
Private keys never leave your Ledger device, isolated from internet-connected systems.
Your device is protected by a PIN code, with limited attempts before self-wiping.
All transactions must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device screen.
Ledger Live automatically verifies your device authenticity during connection.
Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. Keep it secure and offline. Always verify transaction details on your device screen before confirming. Only download Ledger Live from official sources.
