Fix Ledger Live Login Errors — Troubleshooting Help

Common causes and quick fixes when Ledger Live sign in doesn't behave as expected.

Device not detected

  • Try a different USB cable or port (avoid hubs).
  • Restart Ledger Live and your computer.
  • Check device screen for prompts and unlock with PIN.

If Bluetooth: ensure the device is in pairing mode and the mobile app permission is granted.

App not syncing / freezing

  • Update Ledger Live to the latest release.
  • Close background apps that may interfere with USB or Bluetooth.
  • Clear app cache via settings if available and restart.

Authentication / PIN errors

  • Ensure correct PIN entry on the device (not the computer).
  • Count wrong attempts — too many may temporarily lock the device.
  • Keep your recovery seed safe — only use it to restore, never to share.
