Before you log in — preparation and best practices
1. Bookmark official pages and verify URLs
Prevent phishing by bookmarking only official Coinbase domains (e.g., coinbase.com and official subdomains). Avoid links sent via unsolicited messages.
2. Use strong authentication
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) — preferably a hardware key (U2F / WebAuthn) like YubiKey or an authenticator app. Avoid SMS-only 2FA when possible.
3. Keep software up to date
Update your browser, operating system, and password manager. Use a reputable password manager to generate and store a unique password for your account.
Step-by-step: Secure Coinbase Pro (Advanced Trade) login
Step 1 — Navigate to the official sign-in page
Open your browser and go to Coinbase's official sign-in: https://www.coinbase.com/signin. Confirm the SSL certificate (padlock) and domain. Do not use search engines to find “Coinbase Pro login” if you are unsure—use your bookmark.
Step 2 — Enter credentials & use MFA
Enter your email and password, then complete your chosen MFA method. If using a hardware security key, register it in advance under your Coinbase account security settings.
Step 3 — Post-login checks
After logging in, verify recent account activity and check any new security alerts. Enable email alerts and check your connected devices periodically.
Security features & controls
Account lock & suspicious activity
If you see suspicious activity, lock your account immediately via Coinbase Help and contact official support channels. Keep your identity verification documents secure.
Cold storage & insurance
Coinbase uses a mix of cold storage for the majority of assets and monitored custodial systems. U.S. dollar balances held on Coinbase may be eligible for FDIC insurance as described in their disclosures.
Using Advanced Trade (features summary)
Order types and liquidity
Advanced Trade provides order books, limit and market orders, and other execution options for better trade control and potentially lower fees for high-volume traders.
APIs and programmatic trading
Developers can use Coinbase’s Exchange and Advanced Trade API to programmatically access market data and submit orders. Refer to the official API docs for authentication and rate limits.
Risk management & practical tips
Keep only what you need
For everyday trading, keep a limited amount of funds on the exchange; long-term holdings are safer in personal cold wallets you control.
Monitor status & planned maintenance
Before executing large or time-sensitive trades, check Coinbase’s status page for outages or degraded performance.
Troubleshooting common login issues
Forgot password or locked out?
Use the official Help Center flows for password resets and account recovery. Coinbase offers support chat and call request options in some regions.
Recognizing impersonation & scams
Coinbase will never ask for your password, 2FA code, or private keys via unsolicited channels. If you’re contacted, verify via the official support page.
