Presentation: 10 slides • Format: HTML (slide-like sections) • Use headings h1→h5

Slide 1 — Introduction

Why secure login matters

Ledger Live is a gateway to your cryptocurrency holdings. A secure login protects private keys, prevents unauthorized transactions, and builds trust in how you manage digital assets. In this presentation we cover best practices for logging into Ledger Live, common pitfalls, and step-by-step guidance for everyday security.

Speaker notes: Keep this slide short — set the context and promise practical steps.

Slide 2 — What is Ledger Live?

Overview

Ledger Live is desktop and mobile software that interfaces with hardware wallets. It provides portfolio overview, transaction signing, staking, and app management. Most importantly, only a paired Ledger device can sign transactions — the app alone cannot move funds.

Speaker notes: Emphasize the separation between device and app.

Slide 3 — Secure Login Components

Multi-layer protection

Login security for Ledger Live relies on: (1) your device PIN on the Ledger hardware, (2) the recovery phrase kept offline, and (3) strong device-level protections (OS updates, anti-malware). Treat each layer as independent — one failing shouldn't expose all funds.

Quick tip

Never enter your recovery phrase into any software — Ledger will never ask for it in the app.

Speaker notes: Give a short anecdote about social-engineering attempts.

Slide 4 — Setting Up Ledger Live

Installation checklist

Download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website. Verify the checksum when available and install updates promptly. Pair your Ledger device by following on-screen prompts; always verify addresses on the hardware screen before approving transactions.

Speaker notes: Demonstrate the pairing process live if possible.

Slide 5 — Login Best Practices

Daily habits for safety

Use a dedicated device when possible, keep OS and firmware updated, enable automatic app updates within Ledger Live, and prefer official app store downloads for mobile versions. Lock your computer when away and avoid public Wi‑Fi during sensitive operations.

Remember

Usernames and passwords are not enough — the hardware signature is the final authorization step.

Speaker notes: Summarize into three bullet habits for the audience to remember.

Slide 6 — Detecting Phishing & Scams

Common attack vectors

Phishing pages, fake apps, malicious browser extensions, and social engineering remain the top risks. Confirm domain names, use bookmarks for Ledger Live web pages, and never follow login links from unsolicited messages.

What to check

Look for HTTPS, inspect certificates, and when in doubt, close the browser and open Ledger Live via your trusted bookmark or app icon.

Speaker notes: Show an example phishing email (redacted) to illustrate red flags.

Slide 7 — Recovery Phrase & Backups

Offline backup strategy

Your 24‑word recovery phrase is the last resort to restore funds. Store it offline in a safe location, ideally using a metal backup or secure deposit. Do not store the phrase digitally (cloud, photos, notes) and avoid splitting the phrase without a robust plan.

Speaker notes: Recommend a tested, local backup and a planned inheritance explanation for stakeholders.

Slide 8 — Troubleshooting Login Issues

Step-by-step fixes

If Ledger Live won’t detect your device: check USB cables, try another port, restart the app and device, ensure Ledger firmware is current, and confirm Ledger Live has the right permissions. If stuck, consult official support channels — never share your recovery phrase when asking for help.

Speaker notes: Have links to official support ready in the slide deck resources.

Slide 9 — Advanced Tips

Power users

Consider using multiple hardware wallets for segmentation, enable passphrases for additional hidden wallets, and routinely audit installed apps on your Ledger device. For organizational use, define role-based controls and keep an auditable log of signers and transactions.

Speaker notes: Warn about passphrase complexity and recovery tradeoffs.

Slide 10 — Summary & Next Steps

Key takeaways

Secure Ledger Live login combines hardware protection, careful backup practices, and informed daily habits. Protect your recovery phrase, verify every address on-device, and stay vigilant against phishing. Follow these steps to keep your portfolio safe while enjoying the benefits of self-custody.
