Practical instructions for signing in safely, resolving common login issues, and strengthening your account security.

Checklist: registered email/username, strong password, 2FA device (if enabled), recovery options ready.

How to log in to Uphold

Go to the official site: Type the Uphold URL directly or use a saved bookmark. Avoid clicking links from unknown emails or messages.

Open the login page: Select "Sign In". Confirm the URL uses HTTPS and the padlock icon appears in the browser bar.

Enter credentials: Use your registered email/username and password. Prefer a password manager on trusted devices.

Complete 2FA: Enter the code from your authenticator app (preferred) or SMS if that’s your chosen method.

Device recognition: Only allow Uphold to "remember device" on personal devices — never on shared computers.

Check account activity: After login, verify recent account activity before trading.

Best practices for account security

Use strong, unique passwords (12+ characters, mixed symbols).

Prefer authenticator apps or hardware keys over SMS 2FA.

Store 2FA recovery codes securely in a password manager or encrypted backup.

Secure your email (unique password + 2FA).

Stay alert to phishing — only trust the official Uphold domain.

Keep your device and browser updated; remove untrusted extensions.

 

Common login issues & fixes

Forgot password: Use "Forgot password" to reset via secure email link.

Lost 2FA device: Use recovery codes or contact Uphold support.

Missing verification email: Check spam/promotions, or whitelist Uphold’s domain.

Suspicious lockout: Reset password immediately and contact support.

Form errors: Clear cache/cookies or try another browser.

Extra tips for frequent traders

Use API keys with restricted permissions (e.g., trading only).

Enable withdrawal and login alerts.

Use separate accounts for admin and trading tasks.

Keep large holdings in cold storage.
