Log™ In | Uphold® — Sign In to Your Account*
Your Account is the secure entry point to a multi‑asset trading platform where users can access crypto, precious metals, and fiat balances in one place. This login experience is designed to combine convenience, cross‑platform access, and strong security controls, including modern authentication methods and account‑protection features.
Secure access to Uphold
The Uphold login flow starts on the official website or mobile app and is built to make signing in both straightforward and safe. Users visit uphold.com or open the app, choose Log In, and enter their registered email address and password to begin the authentication process.
To strengthen account protection, Uphold layers industry‑standard encryption with two‑factor authentication, helping ensure only the rightful account owner can gain access. After entering credentials, users may need to approve a login request via the Uphold app, scan a QR code, or complete 2FA with a time‑based code, depending on their security settings and device.
Web login with QR confirmation
When signing in on the web, Uphold increasingly uses a safer login process that relies on the mobile app to confirm access instead of depending solely on passwords. Once email and password are submitted on the desktop site, the screen displays a unique QR code that ties the browser session to the user’s authenticated mobile device.
On the phone, a push notification from the Uphold app prompts the user to confirm that the login attempt is legitimate, or they can open the app manually if notifications are disabled. After the user scans the QR code and taps the in‑app confirmation, the browser session unlocks and loads the Uphold dashboard, reducing exposure to credential theft on untrusted machines.
Mobile app and biometric sign in
For users who prefer on‑the‑go access, the Uphold mobile app on Android and iOS offers a streamlined login experience optimized for smaller screens and quick account checks. After the initial email‑and‑password sign in, users can enable biometric methods like fingerprint or Face ID where supported, replacing repeated password entry with fast, device‑level authentication.
This mobile‑centric approach fits common usage patterns such as checking balances, executing trades, or approving web logins while away from a desktop. Cross‑platform synchronization keeps security preferences and session recognition consistent between web and mobile, so trusted devices remain linked without compromising control.
Account security best practices
Because Uphold supports a broad range of cryptocurrencies, national currencies, and even precious metals, protecting the login is crucial to safeguarding a user’s full portfolio. Users are encouraged to choose a strong, unique password that combines upper‑ and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and to avoid reusing credentials from other sites.
Enabling two‑factor authentication via an authenticator app adds a second layer, generating a six‑digit code that refreshes every 30 seconds and is required whenever sensitive actions are performed. Uphold also supports device recognition and, on compatible phones, biometric login, helping maintain a balance between tight security and everyday usability.
Managing access and recovering login
If a user ever has trouble signing in, the Uphold sign‑in page includes a dedicated “Forgot password” link that walks them through a secure reset flow tied to their registered email. After verifying ownership of the account, they can create a new password and restore access without opening duplicate profiles, which Uphold warns can cause both accounts to be blocked.
