🔑 What Is Ledger Live Login?
Ledger Live login doesn’t rely on usernames or passwords. It authenticates you via your Ledger hardware wallet combined with your PIN entered directly on the device. This two-factor approach—something you have (the device) and something you know (the PIN)—offers unmatched security :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.

- All transactions and login processes require physical approval on your device :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
- No centralized login systems—eliminating the risk of online breaches or phishing of credentials :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.
⚠ Stay Aware of Fake Apps
There’s a growing phishing threat: fake Ledger Live apps targeting macOS users. These malicious apps spoof login screens and deceptively ask for your seed phrase—this is a scam. Always download only from ledger.com, and never enter your recovery phrase into any app :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}.

🆘 Troubleshooting Tips
- Device not detected? Try a different USB port, avoid hubs, and verify your firmware is updated :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}.
- Forgot your PIN? After three incorrect attempts, the device resets. Recover using your recovery phrase :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}.
- Ensure the app shows **“Genuine Check Passed”**—this verifies the app version is authentic :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}.
📱 Desktop vs Mobile
- Desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux): Connect via USB—enter PIN on the device to log in :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}.
- Mobile (iOS/Android): Use Bluetooth (Nano X) and your PIN on-device; you can also enable biometric locks for app-level protection :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}.
