Getting Started: Signing In to Coinbase
Accessing your Coinbase account begins with navigating to the sign-in page, where you're prompted for your email. You can proceed with a traditional password or choose a passkey—a modern, secure alternative that uses your device’s biometrics or PIN for swift authentication. Passkeys offer stronger protection against phishing and eliminate the need to remember complex passwords.
Step-by-Step Login Process
-
Enter your email and click “Continue.”
-
Choose your method—password, Google, Apple, or passkey.
-
If using 2FA, be ready for an authenticator prompt or SMS verification.
Embracing Passkeys for Ease & Security
Passkeys are generated via cryptography and stored locally on your device, minimizing the risk of breaches and offering a faster, more seamless experience. Apple, Google, and others support this standard, making it both safe and convenient.
Signing Out: Doesn’t Get Much Simpler
To log out on desktop, click your profile icon (usually top-right) and select “Sign out.” On mobile, head to your profile or settings menu to find the logout option. Clear your cookies or try incognito mode if the option seems stuck.
