Step-by-step instructions, authentication options, troubleshooting, and account-security recommendations.
The Coinbase Login process provides secure access to your Coinbase account and services for buying, selling, and managing cryptocurrencies. Coinbase supports multiple authentication methods — including passkeys, authenticator apps, SMS and security keys — and requires two-step verification for sensitive actions. This page summarizes official sign-in flows, available second-factor options, troubleshooting steps, and recommended security practices.
To sign in on the web, navigate to the official Coinbase sign-in page and enter the email associated with your account. Follow the prompt to verify your email, then provide your password and the requested second-factor verification. On mobile, open the Coinbase app, tap Sign in, and follow the same steps. Coinbase also supports passkeys and social single sign-on options (Sign in with Apple / Google) where available.
Coinbase requires or strongly recommends two-step verification (2SV) to protect account access. Officially supported methods include SMS text messages, TOTP authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy, Duo), security keys (FIDO2 / YubiKey), and Coinbase Security Prompt (push notifications via the Coinbase mobile app). Passkeys and backup passkeys are also supported for enhanced convenience and security.
Tip: prefer security keys or authenticator apps over SMS when possible because they provide stronger protection against SIM-swap attacks.
If you cannot complete a Coinbase Login, verify that you are on the official Coinbase domain and that JavaScript is enabled. Common causes include incorrect password, outdated authentication method, lost access to 2FA, or account security restrictions. Coinbase provides a recovery flow that may require identity verification to regain access. If you suspect account compromise or social-engineering attempts, contact Coinbase Support immediately via the Help Center.
Maintain a strong, unique password for Coinbase Login, enable a robust two-step verification method, and never share your login credentials, 2FA codes, recovery phrases, or private keys with anyone. Coinbase will never ask for your password or 2FA codes via unsolicited messages. Regularly review active sessions and connected applications in your account security settings to detect unauthorized activity.
For unresolved Coinbase Login issues, use the official Coinbase Help Center to find specialized articles, start a live chat, or request a call when supported in your region. Do not respond to unsolicited calls, emails, or messages claiming to be Coinbase — verify support contact details via the Help Center.
