Complete Step-by-Step Login Tutorial

Click "Sign In" to reveal the initial screen: enter your registered email address (or phone) in the dedicated field and select "Continue." This triggers flexible authentication paths—choose password entry (with eye icon for visibility), passkey (biometric FIDO2 standard), Google, Apple ID, or Coinbase Wallet for seamless, passwordless access. Input your password (minimum 8 characters, ideally 12+ with mixes of letters, numbers, symbols), double-checking caps lock and avoiding autofill glitches by toggling it off. Hit "Continue" to proceed to verification: Coinbase mandates 2FA here, delivering a six-digit one-time password (OTP) via SMS, email, or authenticator app like Duo or Google Authenticator—codes refresh every 30 seconds. If delayed, click "Try Another Way" for alternatives like backup codes or trusted device approval. New or infrequent logins may prompt identity reconfirmation via a quick selfie or document scan, completing KYC in under 2 minutes. Upon success, the dashboard materializes in 15-45 seconds, showcasing your portfolio snapshot, live price feeds for BTC-USD/ETH-USDC, buy/sell buttons, and asset allocations—fully responsive across devices.​
