Quick steps for a secure Coinbase login

This page helps you perform a safe Coinbase login experience. Follow these best practices whether you use the web app or mobile app to protect your account and assets.

Step-by-step — verified approach

  1. Open the official Coinbase site or app: Launch the official Coinbase app or type the official address in your browser (verify the domain carefully). Avoid links from unknown emails or messages.
  2. Check site security: Ensure the site uses HTTPS and that the domain is correct. Look for the padlock and confirm the URL is the official Coinbase domain.
  3. Enter credentials: Use your registered email and password. Use a password manager to avoid typos and phishing traps.
  4. Complete two-factor authentication (2FA): If 2FA is enabled (recommended), approve the push notification or enter the code from your authenticator app or hardware key.
  5. Confirm access: After login, check recent activity and devices — sign out of unknown devices immediately.

Security tips for your Coinbase login

Use a strong, unique password and enable 2FA. Prefer an authenticator app (TOTP) or hardware security key over SMS for stronger protection.
  • Never enter your credentials on pages sent via unsolicited email links.
  • Enable biometric unlock on your mobile device for convenience & security.
  • Use a reputable password manager to generate and store passwords.
  • Set up a recovery method and securely store backup codes offline.
  • Keep your OS and the Coinbase app updated to the latest versions.

If you can't log in

Common reasons a Coinbase login might fail and what to try:

  • Forgot password: Use the official password reset flow — never send passwords to someone else.
  • 2FA problems: If you lost your 2FA device, follow the platform's recovery process and have ID/verification ready.
  • Account locked: Contact official support channels (always verify support contact info on the official site).

FAQ

Is "coinbase login" the same across countries?
Yes — the login steps are generally the same globally; specific verification or KYC requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Should I save my password in the browser?

Regularly — check activity after each login and set up alerts for large transactions.
