Is there a Ledger Live Login using email and password?

No. Ledger Live is a secure interface that connects directly to your Ledger hardware wallet. It does NOT use a traditional username, email, or password login. Your Ledger device, secured by your PIN and Secret Recovery Phrase, is your only 'key,' eliminating the risk of online login credential hacks.

Where can I find the official Ledger Live Download?

You should always use the official starting page, Ledger.com/start, to find verified download links for the Ledger Live Desktop application (Windows, macOS, Linux) and the Ledger Live App (iOS and Android). Never download from third-party sites.

Do I need the Ledger Live Wallet to use my hardware device?

While you can use your Ledger device with other compatible third-party wallets, Ledger Live is the official, all-in-one management interface. It simplifies transactions, portfolio tracking, staking, and accessing dApps in a secure, transparent environment.
