Security-first by design
Ledger Live login relies on the hardware wallet to protect signing keys. Even if a computer is compromised, private keys never leave the device and approvals require a physical confirmation.
Key protections
- On-device confirmations — every transaction must be verified on the device screen.
- Firmware signing — device firmware and Ledger Live releases are signed to prevent tampering.
- Isolated key storage — private keys are stored inside secure hardware.
Recommended user practices
- Verify that you have downloaded Ledger Live from ledger.com only.
- Enable a strong PIN on your Ledger device and never share it.
- Consider using a passphrase (advanced) for an extra layer of account isolation.
- Check your device screen for the exact address and amount before approving transfers.
