Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: I forgot my Ledger Live® password. Can I recover funds?

A: Yes! Uninstall/reinstall Ledger Live®, then restore accounts using your Ledger® device + PIN. Your password protects app access – not your blockchain assets.

Q2: Is "Ledger® Login" the same for Ledger.com and Ledger Live®?

A: No.

  • Ledger.com account: For product purchases/support (email + password)
  • Ledger Live®: Local app access (no server login)
  • Device authentication: Physical PIN entry

Q3: Can hackers access my crypto if they know my Ledger Live® password?

A: Not without your physical device + PIN. The password only unlocks the app interface. Transactions require on-device confirmation.

Q4: How do I use my recovery phrase to log in?

A: Never enter recovery words into Ledger Live®! If you lose your device:

  1. Get a new Ledger®
  2. Visit Ledger.com/start → "Restore from recovery phrase"
  3. Enter words directly on device screen

Q5: Why does Ledger Live® show balances without device connection?

A: Public address data syncs online. Balances are view-only until you connect device + enter PIN.

Q6: Is Bluetooth® login safe for public Wi-Fi?

A: Yes – Bluetooth® uses AES-128 encryption. For maximum security:

  • Disable Wi-Fi during transactions
  • Use USB on untrusted networks
