FAQs on **Ledger® Live Login** and Security ❓

What if I forget my **Ledger® Live Login** PIN?

Can hackers intercept my **Ledger® Live Login**?

No. Since the "login" is authenticated by entering the PIN on the device itself, which is offline, network malware cannot capture your credentials. The only risk is a compromised **Ledger® Live Download** (which is why you must use **Ledger.com/start**).

The safest method is always to start at the official source: **Ledger.com/start**. This ensures you bypass any phishing attempts that mimic the site or software.

What if I lose my Ledger® device?

Your funds are safe, as they are on the blockchain, not the device. You can use your 24-word recovery phrase to restore your **Ledger® Live Wallet** on a new Ledger® device, effectively bypassing the need for the old device's **Ledger® Live Login**.
