If you're unable to access your Coinbase account, follow these steps to regain control:

Step 1: Identify the Issue

Before proceeding, determine why you can’t access your account:

  • Forgot password

  • Lost access to two-factor authentication (2FA)

  • Compromised or hacked account

  • Locked or restricted account

Step 2: Reset Your Password

  1. Go to the Coinbase Login Page (https://www.coinbase.com)

  2. Click on "Forgot password?"

  3. Enter your registered email address and follow the instructions in the password reset email.

  4. Choose a strong, unique password and log in again.

βœ… If your email is not receiving the reset link, check spam/junk folders or ensure you’re using the correct email.

Step 3: Recover Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Access

If you’ve lost access to your 2FA (Google Authenticator, SMS, or security key):

Option 1: Use Backup Codes

If you saved your Coinbase 2FA backup codes, you can use them to log in.

Option 2: Disable 2FA

  1. Visit Coinbase’s 2FA reset page (https://www.coinbase.com/reset-2fa)

  2. Provide required identity verification details (such as ID and account history).

  3. Wait 24-72 hours for Coinbase to disable 2FA and regain access.

Step 4: Account Recovery for Locked or Hacked Accounts

If your account was compromised, locked, or restricted, follow these steps:

If You Suspect Unauthorized Activity (Hacked Account)

  1. Reset your password immediately using the steps above.

  2. If you can’t access your email, update it with Coinbase support.

  3. Contact Coinbase support (https://help.coinbase.com) and report the unauthorized activity.

  4. Coinbase may require ID verification to recover your account.

If Coinbase Locked Your Account

Your account may be locked due to suspicious activity, identity verification issues, or legal reasons.

  • Submit a support ticket on the Coinbase website.

  • Wait for Coinbase’s response (processing can take a few days to weeks).

  • If requested, provide additional verification documents.
