Sign In to Your Account

Securely access your Uphold account to check balances, move funds, and manage payments. This guide explains the sign-in flow, how to protect your account, recover access, and use two-factor authentication — everything you need to sign in safely.

Welcome back

Enter your email and password below. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, be ready to confirm with your chosen method. For new devices, complete the device recognition steps to keep your account secure.

By continuing, you agree to Uphold's terms and privacy policies. Always verify URLs and avoid entering credentials on unfamiliar pages.

Security Reminder: Uphold will never ask for your password or 2FA codes via email. If you receive such a request, treat it as a phishing attempt and report it immediately.

Sign-in Help & Tips

  • Use a strong, unique password — consider a password manager.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added protection.
  • Prefer hardware security keys (U2F) where supported.
  • Verify device prompts when authorizing new devices or sessions.

Account Recovery & Identity Verification

Uphold may require identity verification for account recovery or to lift limits. Typical documents include government ID, selfies, and proof of address. Keep digital copies ready in secure storage (never email them to unknown recipients). If you lose access to your email or 2FA device, the recovery process may take time — plan accordingly.

Protecting Your Login

Follow these practical habits to reduce compromise risk:

  • Use a reputable password manager to generate and store unique passwords.
  • Enable device recognition and review remembered devices periodically.
  • Monitor account activity and enable notifications for sign-ins and large transactions.
  • Keep your operating system and browser up to date to avoid known vulnerabilities.
For enterprise or high-value accounts, consider segregating operational and custody responsibilities, using dedicated machines, and applying additional identity and access controls.

Common Login Issues & Troubleshooting

  • Incorrect password: Use the password reset flow; avoid repeated attempts to prevent lockout.
  • 2FA not working: Sync your authenticator app clock, or restore from your 2FA backup codes.
  • Unrecognized device: Confirm the sign-in attempt via email or device notifications; if you didn't initiate it, change your password and revoke sessions.
  • Browser problems: Clear cache, disable suspicious extensions, or try a private browsing window.

Privacy & Data

Uphold collects only the information necessary to operate the platform and comply with regulations. Review privacy settings in your account to control notifications and marketing preferences. Always prefer secure channels when sharing sensitive documents during verification.

Safe Usage Practices

  • Never enter your credentials on pages you reached via email links—type the site address directly.
  • Beware of phishing attempts: check sender addresses and avoid downloading unexpected attachments.
  • If using public Wi‑Fi, use a trusted VPN before logging in.
  • Regularly export and secure your account statements and review transaction history for anomalies.

When to Contact Support

Contact support if you suspect account compromise, cannot recover access through automated flows, or encounter suspicious transactions. Have relevant details handy but never share passwords or full recovery codes with support agents. Uphold support will request only necessary verification steps.
