A comprehensive four-step journey through authentication security

Understanding Authentication

Authentication is the process of verifying your identity before granting access to your digital assets. In the context of cryptocurrency management, authentication serves as the first line of defense protecting your valuable holdings. Ledger Live uses a multi-layered authentication approach that combines something you know (your password) with something you have (your Ledger hardware device). This two-factor methodology ensures that even if one authentication factor is compromised, your assets remain secure. Understanding this fundamental concept is crucial for maintaining the security of your crypto portfolio.

If you forget your Ledger Live password, you can reset the application and restore access using your Ledger hardware device and 24-word recovery phrase. Your cryptocurrency remains safe on the blockchain—the password only protects access to the Ledger Live interface.

Yes, you can install Ledger Live on multiple computers or mobile devices. Each installation will require its own password setup, but you can access the same accounts by connecting your Ledger hardware device to any installation.

While regular password updates can enhance security, focus on creating a strong, unique password initially. Change your password if you suspect it may have been compromised, or as part of periodic security reviews every 6-12 months.

Your device PIN protects access to your Ledger hardware wallet itself, while your Ledger Live password secures the application interface. Both work together as part of your overall security strategy—one protects the keys, the other protects the dashboard.
