Welcome to support.ledger.com™ — Your Login and Support Hub
At support.ledger.com™, we prioritize the safety and ease of accessing your Ledger™ hardware wallet. Logging in is the gateway to managing your crypto assets securely and efficiently. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced user, our platform provides comprehensive resources and guides to help you through every step.
Many users also explore complementary hardware wallets like the Trezor Hardware Wallet, which is accompanied by software tools such as Trezor Suite, and onboarding via Trezor.io/start. For secure communication with Trezor devices, Trezor Bridge plays a vital role. Understanding both Ledger and Trezor ecosystems can empower you to make informed decisions about your crypto security.
The Login Process at support.ledger.com™
Starting Your Ledger Login Journey
To access your Ledger wallet dashboard, visit support.ledger.com™ and select the login option. Unlike conventional username-password systems, Ledger emphasizes hardware-based authentication — your device's PIN and physical confirmation secure every login attempt.
Step 1: Connect Your Ledger Hardware Wallet
Plug your Ledger device into your computer using a USB cable. Ensure your Ledger Live software is up to date. This connection allows your browser to recognize the device during login.
Step 2: Authorize Login via PIN
Your Ledger device will prompt you to enter your PIN. This step is critical for confirming your identity. Remember, your PIN is never transmitted over the internet; it remains safely on your device.
Step 3: Accessing Your Account
Once verified, support.ledger.com™ grants access to your account dashboard, where you can manage assets, update settings, and seek support. If you prefer alternatives, the Trezor Login process via Trezor Suite offers a different, yet equally secure, user experience.
Security Guidelines for Safe Login and Wallet Management
Always Use Official Software and Websites
Download Ledger Live exclusively from the official Ledger website. For Trezor users, obtain Trezor Suite and Trezor Bridge only through Trezor.io/start. Avoid third-party sites to reduce phishing and malware risks.
Keep Your Recovery Phrase Confidential
The 24-word recovery phrase is your ultimate backup. Never share it or store it digitally in unencrypted formats. Both Ledger and Trezor stress offline storage of recovery phrases for maximum security.
Use Strong PINs and Enable Passphrase Protection
Use a robust PIN on your Ledger device. For additional security, enable the passphrase feature — it acts as a 25th word, offering an extra layer of protection in case your recovery phrase is compromised.
Keep Firmware Updated
Regular firmware updates improve security and functionality. Ledger Live facilitates these updates seamlessly. For Trezor devices, Trezor Bridge ensures smooth communication during the update process.
Troubleshooting Common Login Issues
Device Not Recognized
If your Ledger device isn’t detected during login, ensure USB connections are secure. Restart your computer and reconnect. Check that Ledger Live is running and updated. For Trezor devices, make sure Trezor Bridge is installed and active.
Forgot PIN or Locked Device
After multiple incorrect PIN attempts, Ledger devices lock for security. To regain access, perform a device reset and restore using your recovery phrase. This process is similar with Trezor devices — always keep your recovery phrase safe.
Software Compatibility Issues
Confirm your operating system and browser versions are supported by Ledger Live. For Trezor users, the Trezor Suite application is recommended over browser extensions for enhanced stability.
