Ledger Live Login Explained | Protecting Your Crypto the Smart Way

I. The Non-Custodial Security Paradigm

[Insert approximately 400 words here covering the concept of non-custodial wallets, the difference between a hot wallet and a cold wallet, and why private keys must *never* leave the Ledger device.]
