Secure Your Coinbase Login — Top Safety Tips

1

Use an authenticator app
Prefer TOTP apps (e.g., Authenticator, Authy) over SMS. Store backup codes offline.
2

Protect your recovery phrase
Never type or share your seed phrase. Store it offline in a secure location (physical safe or encrypted vault).
3

Watch for phishing
Verify URLs before clicking. Official Coinbase URLs will use their domain—avoid links in suspicious emails or chats claiming login issues.
4

Keep devices updated
Install OS and browser updates, use antivirus if appropriate, and avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive access without a VPN.
5

Use a trusted password manager
Generate unique passwords and store them securely; this reduces risk from reused passwords if other services are compromised.

What to do if you suspect a compromise

Change your Coinbase password from a trusted device (or use password reset from Coinbase if you cannot sign in).
Revoke sessions and app access in your account settings if you regain access.
Contact official Coinbase support through their verified help center—do not share private keys or passwords in communications.
