🔐 Welcome to Ledger Wallet

Ledger Wallet is your secure gateway to the decentralized world of digital assets. Unlike traditional accounts that rely on centralized servers, Ledger gives you full control over your crypto by storing your private keys offline — right in your hardware wallet.

Whether you're using a Ledger Nano S Plus or a Ledger Nano X, signing in to your account through the Ledger Live app ensures all your crypto activities remain secure, transparent, and under your control. 🛡️

📥 Installing Ledger Live

Before signing in, make sure you’ve downloaded the official Ledger Live software:

1. Go to the official Ledger Live page
2. Select your OS: Windows, macOS, or Linux
3. Download and install the app
4. Launch Ledger Live and connect your device

🔑 Signing In to Ledger Wallet

Signing in to Ledger is a bit different from logging into a typical online account. Here’s how the process works:

1. 🔌 Connect your Ledger device to your computer via USB
2. 🔐 Enter your PIN on the hardware wallet
3. 🧩 Open the Ledger Live app
4. 📲 Ledger Live detects your device and unlocks your account

Ledger doesn’t require you to create a username/password. Your wallet is accessed and authenticated using your hardware device. Your private keys never leave the device.

🧠 What If You're New to Ledger?

If you're setting up for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Select “Initialize as new device” in Ledger Live
2. Follow instructions to create a new wallet
3. Write down the 24-word recovery phrase shown on the device
4. Set a PIN code
5. Install the Ledger Live app

Important: Your 24-word recovery phrase is your only backup. Ledger will never ask for it online. Keep it offline and secure.
