✨ What Is Ledger Live Login?
Ledger Live doesn't use traditional login methods like usernames or passwords. Instead, authentication is tied directly to your Ledger hardware wallet. Accessing Ledger Live requires connecting your device and entering your PIN on the device itself. This hardware-based login ensures unmatched security. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

⚠ Beware of Fake Apps
