Get StartedFollow these steps to securely access your Coinbase Pro trading account
Navigate to pro.coinbase.com in your web browser. Always verify you're on the official Coinbase Pro website to avoid phishing attempts.
Input your registered email address and password. If you've enabled two-factor authentication, you'll need to provide that code as well.
Depending on your security settings, you may need to complete additional verification steps such as email confirmation or 2FA.
Coinbase Pro strongly recommends enabling 2FA for enhanced account security. This adds an extra layer of protection beyond your password.
On supported devices, you can use fingerprint or facial recognition for faster, more secure access to your account.
For trusted devices, you can opt to stay logged in for extended periods, reducing the frequency of login requirements.
Automatic logout after periods of inactivity helps protect your account from unauthorized access if you step away from your device.
Protect your Coinbase Pro account with these essential security measures
Use a unique, complex password that includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app for the highest level of security beyond SMS-based verification.
Keep your registered email account secure and enable email notifications for all account activities.
Always verify you're on the official Coinbase Pro website before entering login credentials.
Periodically review your account activity, connected devices, and security settings.
Regularly check your account for any unauthorized transactions or suspicious activities.
Solutions to common Coinbase Pro login issues
If you've forgotten your Coinbase Pro password, click on the "Forgot Password" link on the login page. You'll receive an email with instructions to reset your password. Follow the link in the email and create a new strong password. Make sure to use a password you haven't used for other accounts.
If you're not receiving your two-factor authentication code, first check that your authenticator app is synchronized correctly. If using SMS, ensure your phone has service and can receive texts. If problems persist, you can use backup codes if you saved them when setting up 2FA. As a last resort, contact Coinbase support for account recovery assistance.
Coinbase Pro may temporarily disable accounts for security reasons, typically after multiple failed login attempts or suspicious activity. If your account is disabled, you'll need to go through an account recovery process which may involve identity verification. Check your email for instructions from Coinbase support on how to restore access to your account.
To enable 2FA on Coinbase Pro, log into your account and go to Security Settings. Select "Two-Factor Authentication" and choose your preferred method (authenticator app or SMS). Follow the setup instructions, making sure to save your backup codes in a secure location. Once enabled, you'll need to provide both your password and a verification code each time you log in.
If you suspect unauthorized access to your Coinbase Pro account, immediately change your password and review your security settings. Check your recent account activity for any unfamiliar transactions. Enable 2FA if you haven't already, and consider contacting Coinbase support to report the issue. It's also advisable to scan your device for malware that may have compromised your login credentials.
If you're experiencing persistent login issues or have security concerns, Coinbase Pro support is available to assist you.
