Quickstart — sign in in under a minute
Signing in to Uphold is intentionally simple: visit the official sign-in page, enter your registered email, provide your password, and complete any two-factor verification you have enabled. For new users, create an account first and complete the identity verification steps required for fiat transfers and higher limits.
Step-by-step login guide
- Open the official sign-in page: go to https://uphold.com/signin or click the button above.
- Enter email: provide the email address you used to register.
- Type password: use your strong, unique password. If you use a password manager, allow it to fill the field to avoid typos.
- Complete 2FA: if you have two-factor authentication enabled, enter the code from your authenticator app or SMS (SMS is less secure — prefer an authenticator or hardware key).
- Approve device (optional): Uphold may ask you to verify the device via email link when logging in from a new location.
- Access your dashboard: once logged in, you’ll land on the portfolio dashboard where balances, market data, and recent activity are visible.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) — strongly recommended
Two-factor authentication adds a second verification layer beyond your password. Uphold supports:
- Authenticator apps (recommended — Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator).
- Hardware security keys (e.g., YubiKey) for highest protection.
- SMS codes (available but less secure; use only as a fallback).
To enable 2FA, go to Security Settings after signing in and follow the prompts to link your chosen method. Store any backup codes in a secure offline place.
Forgot password or account recovery
If you forget your password, use the password reset flow on the sign-in page. Uphold will send a reset link to your registered email. If you lose access to your 2FA, consult the Help Center for recovery procedures — these may require identity verification for security.
Mobile app — sign in on the go
Uphold provides mobile apps for iOS and Android. Download them from the official download page or your platform store. Signing in on mobile follows the same steps as desktop. For stronger security, enable device biometrics (Touch ID / Face ID) after logging in — this makes subsequent sign-ins quick while keeping your account protected.
Security best practices
- Use a unique, strong password and a trusted password manager.
- Enable 2FA with an authenticator app or hardware key.
- Beware phishing: always confirm you are on
uphold.com
before entering credentials. - Keep your email account secure — an attacker with your email can reset other services.
- Review active devices and session history in Security Settings and revoke unknown sessions.
Troubleshooting common login issues
Here are quick fixes for frequent problems:
- Login not loading: clear browser cache, try a private window, or use a different browser. Check the Uphold status page for outages.
- Incorrect password: use the password reset flow. If you suspect your account was compromised, contact support immediately.
- 2FA problems: if your authenticator app codes are not accepted, ensure your device clock is correct. If you lost your 2FA device, follow the recovery steps in the Help Center.
- Verification delays: identity verification can take time depending on the volume; check your email for requests for clearer documents if asked.
Privacy & account visibility
Uphold follows privacy and compliance rules, meaning certain verification data is required for higher withdrawal or fiat operations. Review the Privacy Policy and Terms on the official site to understand what data is collected and how it’s used. You can access those documents through the Help Center or footer links on the Uphold site.
