Welcome to this secure and informative guide on how to log in to your Uphold® account safely and efficiently. Uphold® is a trusted platform for digital asset management, allowing users to buy, hold, convert, and send a wide range of financial assets, including cryptocurrencies, national currencies, and precious metals. Accessing your account securely is the first step in protecting your assets. This page provides a detailed, plain-English explanation of the login process, security tips, and account protection best practices.
To log into your Uphold® account, you begin by entering your registered email address and password on the official Uphold login page. After that, you may be asked to complete a second layer of authentication, such as a 2FA code sent to your phone or generated through an authenticator app.
Make sure you are using the authentic Uphold® platform. Avoid clicking login links in emails or ads — instead, type the website address manually into your browser. Double-check the domain name for accuracy to avoid phishing scams.
Use a strong and unique password that includes a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using common words, birthdays, or any easily guessed information. Your password is your first defense, so don’t take shortcuts here.
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection. Even if your password is compromised, a hacker still won't be able to access your account without the second factor. Uphold® supports authentication apps like Google Authenticator or Authy, which generate time-sensitive codes used during login.
Make sure to back up your 2FA setup or save recovery codes somewhere safe. Without access to 2FA, account recovery could be delayed or require additional identity verification.
Always log in from a secure device and network. Avoid public computers or unsecured Wi-Fi networks, especially when dealing with financial accounts. Keep your browser, operating system, and antivirus software up to date.
Be cautious of browser extensions or screen-recording software that might compromise your login details. Log out completely when you’re finished — especially on shared devices.
If you're using the Uphold® mobile app, make sure it’s the official version from the app store. The login process is the same as on desktop — email, password, and 2FA — but you may also be able to use biometric login (such as fingerprint or facial recognition) if your device supports it. This can make logging in faster and more secure.
If you’ve forgotten your password, click on the "Forgot password?" option on the login screen. Uphold® will send a reset link to your registered email address. Follow the instructions carefully and reset your password immediately. If you’ve lost access to your 2FA method, you may need to go through Uphold’s identity verification process to regain control of your account.
Uphold® will never ask for your password, recovery codes, or 2FA code via email, phone, or social media. If you receive messages asking for sensitive information, ignore and report them. Always verify any communication by logging into your account directly and checking your account notifications.
Always log out of your Uphold account when you’re finished — especially on shared or public devices. You can also review your account’s active sessions and connected devices within your account settings. Revoke access to any sessions you don’t recognize.
Logging into your Uphold® account should always be done with attention to security. Using a strong password, enabling 2FA, and staying informed about best practices can help you keep your digital assets safe. With this knowledge, you can confidently manage your financial holdings through Uphold's secure platform.
