Clear, authoritative instructions for performing a Coinbase login on web and mobile, enabling security best practices, and resolving common sign-in issues.
Coinbase login requires your registered email or mobile, your account password, and any configured second-factor (2FA). Use the official Coinbase website or the Coinbase mobile app. When you log in to Coinbase, follow security prompts, verify device notifications, and never share your password or verification codes.
Visit the official Coinbase domain (verify the URL begins with https://www.coinbase.com). Click Sign in, enter the email address you used for registration, then enter your password. If prompted, complete the configured two-factor authentication method (Authenticator app code or SMS code). After successful verification, you will arrive at your Coinbase dashboard.
Open the Coinbase app (downloaded from an official app store). Tap Sign in, supply your email and password, then approve the 2FA prompt if required (push notification or authenticator code). For devices with biometric support, enable Face ID or fingerprint after your initial Coinbase login to simplify subsequent access.
Ensure your device OS and the Coinbase app or browser are up to date, confirm you are on a secure network, and avoid public Wi-Fi for account sign-in. Check that you recognize the device in the Coinbase device history after logging in to detect unauthorized access.
Use a unique, high-entropy password for Coinbase login and store it in a reputable password manager. Do not reuse passwords across services. Enable a time-based one-time password (TOTP) authenticator app rather than SMS where possible to improve resilience against SIM-swapping attacks.
Activate account notifications and email alerts to monitor successful Coinbase login events. Review authorized OAuth apps and revoke any third-party access you don’t recognize to reduce risk.
Keep your recovery methods and identity verification up to date in Coinbase settings — these help when you need to recover account access after a lost device or forgotten password.
Use the Forgot password link on the Coinbase sign-in page. Coinbase will send a reset link to your registered email. Only reset your password from the official domain or the official app—do not follow password reset links received by unexpected third parties.
If you lose access to your authenticator app, follow Coinbase’s account recovery flow. Prepare proof of identity and any previously provided verification documents. If you relied on SMS and suspect SIM compromise, contact your mobile carrier immediately and consider switching to an authenticator app for future Coinbase login.
If your Coinbase login is blocked for security reasons, you will usually receive instructions from Coinbase support. Follow official support channels only (support links available from the Coinbase site) and be prepared with account details to verify identity.
Follow these items to reduce risk and improve the reliability of every Coinbase login.
Coinbase provides APIs and OAuth integrations for apps that require user consented access. For enterprise-grade access, configure service accounts and role-based controls rather than sharing personal Coinbase credentials. Developers integrating Coinbase services should use the official Coinbase API documentation and implement OAuth flows that do not require storing user passwords.
