Why secure login matters
Your login is the gateway to your holdings. A compromised account can lead to fraud, withdrawals, and identity theft. Always confirm you’re visiting the official login address before entering credentials. For direct access use the official portal: https://uphold.com/login.
Step-by-step safe login
- Open a fresh browser tab and navigate to https://uphold.com/login (or use a saved bookmark).
- Enter your email and secure password — unique and stored in a password manager.
- Complete multi-factor authentication (2FA) using an authenticator app or security key.
- Review sign-in device/location prompts — decline unfamiliar attempts.
- Sign out after using public/shared devices.

Choose a strong authentication method
Use an authenticator app (TOTP) for the strongest balance of security and usability. If available, enable a hardware security key (FIDO2/U2F) for phishing-resistant access. Avoid SMS-only 2FA where possible; treat it as a fallback rather than primary protection.
Troubleshooting common sign-in issues
If you forgot your password use the official reset flow on the login page. If you lose access to your 2FA device, follow the platform’s verified recovery steps — expect identity verification for safety. Avoid third-party “help” services that request your credentials; use the support channel on the official login portal: Uphold Support.
Practical transfer safety tips
- When sending crypto to a new address, send a small test amount first.
- Confirm blockchain network details (ERC-20 vs BEP-20 are not interchangeable).
- Keep a withdrawal whitelist where possible to lock outbound destinations.

Device and browser hygiene
Keep your OS, browser, and security software up to date. Use strong browser privacy settings and avoid untrusted extensions. On mobile, download the official app from the App Store or Google Play (verify the publisher). Bookmark the official login rather than using emailed links.
Privacy & KYC considerations
Uphold and similar regulated platforms typically require identity verification (KYC) to comply with local laws. Share only requested documents through the secure upload on the official site. Avoid sending sensitive documents by email or unverified channels.
Managing multiple accounts or roles
Businesses should use role-based access where available, limit API key permissions, and rotate keys regularly. Individuals managing multiple accounts should use distinct, strong passwords and different 2FA tokens to isolate risk.

Mobile tips and app security
Use device-level protections (pin/biometrics), and enable app-specific passcodes. Don’t root/jailbreak devices used for finance. When logging in on mobile, prefer the official app or bookmark the official login page: Uphold Login.
When you suspect compromise
Immediately change your password, revoke connected sessions, disable API keys, and notify support. Secure your email account too — it’s often the recovery channel. Follow the official support route at Uphold Support.

Custody: balance convenience vs. control
Custodial platforms like Uphold provide convenience for trading and fiat rails, but they imply counterparty custody for some services. Consider splitting holdings: keep active trading funds on-platform and large, long-term holdings in self-custody (hardware wallets). For migration guides use the official login resources: Uphold.
Business best practices
Enforce corporate security: SSO, least-privilege roles, multi-approval withdrawals, and separate treasury accounts. Review audit logs regularly and rotate service credentials.
