Why Coinbase Login security matters
Account access equals control over funds — the single most important piece of your crypto defenses. Coinbase provides layers of protection, but the effectiveness depends on your choices: strong unique passwords, two-factor authentication (preferably an authenticator app or hardware key), and vigilance against phishing attempts.
Quick sign-in checklist
- Confirm the URL (coinbase.com) and SSL lock icon.
- Prefer an authenticator app (Authy/Google Authenticator) or hardware key.
- Store recovery codes offline — not in email or on cloud notes.
Troubleshooting common issues
If you can’t receive codes, check device time settings (authenticator apps rely on correct clocks). If you suspect account compromise, change passwords from a trusted device and contact Coinbase support immediately — provide only requested identity verification through official channels.
Phishing protection
Phishing emails try to harvest credentials by mimicking Coinbase. When instructed to sign in via email links, type coinbase.com directly into your browser instead. Never paste recovery phrases or private keys anywhere online.
