Ledger Live is a comprehensive platform that connects users to their Ledger hardware wallet, empowering them to send, receive, buy, stake, and monitor cryptocurrencies with enhanced security. It serves as a bridge between the hardware device and your digital assets, ensuring transactions can only be authorized using your Ledger device. Ledger Live supports a wide range of assets, integrates portfolio tracking features, and offers easy synchronization across devices.
Unlike traditional applications requiring usernames and passwords, Ledger Live uses a hardware-based login process. This ensures that only the user with the physical Ledger device can access their assets. When launching Ledger Live, the application will prompt you to connect your Ledger hardware wallet. Once connected, the secure chip inside the device verifies your identity.
Ledger Live itself does not store private keys, passwords, or seed phrases. All sensitive information remains offline within your Ledger hardware wallet, making the login process extremely secure.
