Understanding Ledger Live® Login

The Ledger Live® platform serves as the central hub for managing your cryptocurrency assets securely. Unlike traditional online accounts, Ledger Live® login doesn't rely on username/password combinations for device access. Instead, security is maintained through your physical Ledger® hardware wallet, ensuring your private keys never leave the device.
