Coinbase Pro Login — Complete Sign In Guide

Overview — what is the Coinbase Pro login?

The Coinbase Pro login process is how verified users access Coinbase’s advanced trading platform. Whether you use the web interface or the mobile app, the sign in flow requires your email or username, password, and any security steps you enabled (for example, two-factor authentication). This guide walks you through every step, from initial sign-in to handling lockouts and securing your account for long-term use.

Step-by-step: How to perform a Coinbase Pro login (web)

1. Open your browser and go to pro.coinbase.com (bookmark it so you always return to the correct site).
2. Click Sign In and enter the email address associated with your Coinbase account.
3. Type your password carefully. If you use a password manager, choose the saved credential from the manager instead of typing manually.
4. If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, you’ll be prompted for your 2FA code — enter the code from your authenticator app or hardware key.
5. After successful verification you’ll be redirected to your Coinbase Pro dashboard where you can trade, view balances, and manage your orders.

Tip: Always check the URL and the TLS lock icon before entering credentials to avoid phishing sites.

Mobile sign-in: Coinbase Pro login on phone or tablet

Coinbase Pro’s mobile experience mirrors the web in terms of authentication. Download the official Coinbase or Coinbase Pro app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Open the app, select Sign In, enter your account email and password, and complete the 2FA prompt. If you prefer, some users can sign in to Coinbase and access Pro features from within the main Coinbase app — but the dedicated Pro app provides full trading tools.

Two-factor authentication and security for Coinbase Pro login

Two-factor authentication is strongly recommended. Use an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy) rather than SMS for stronger security. To enable 2FA: go to Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication and scan the QR code with your authenticator. Store the backup codes in a secure password manager or an encrypted note — don’t keep them in plain text on your device.

Troubleshooting common Coinbase Pro login issues

Problems happen. Here are quick resolutions:

• Forgot password: Click “Forgot password?” on the sign in page. Follow the email instructions to reset your password. If the reset email doesn’t arrive, check spam/junk folders and any email filters.
• 2FA lost or replaced device: If you lose access to your authenticator, use your backup codes to sign in. If you don’t have backup codes, follow Coinbase’s account recovery steps — expect identity verification and a waiting period.
• Account locked or disabled: Contact Coinbase Support through the official Help Center. Provide the requested identity verification documents if needed.
• Suspicious activity: Immediately change your password, revoke active sessions, and contact support.

Best practices to protect your Coinbase Pro login

Protecting your login protects your funds. Use a unique, long password; enable 2FA with an authenticator app; keep your recovery phrases and backup codes offline and secure; never share credentials or one-time codes; and be cautious of unsolicited emails asking you to sign in or provide information. Consider a hardware security key (U2F) for the highest level of protection.

Account recovery and support

If you can’t sign in despite trying all steps, use Coinbase’s official Help Center and follow the recovery flow. Expect to verify identity with government ID, a selfie, and possibly utility bills depending on your country and the issue. Recovery can take time — keep records of your support case ID and any communication for reference.
