Coinbase Pro is a professional trading platform offered by Coinbase, designed for users who want advanced tools for crypto trading. It provides lower fees, powerful charting, and real-time order books. To access its features, logging in securely is essential. Here’s a comprehensive guide to logging in and troubleshooting any login-related issues.

How to Log in to Coinbase Pro

1. Visit the Website: Go to https://pro.coinbase.com or https://advanced.trade.coinbase.com — the latter is the new interface replacing the original Coinbase Pro, but both may still redirect users.

2. Enter Credentials: Click on the “Sign In” button at the top right. Enter your registered email address and password.

3. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): For enhanced security, Coinbase Pro requires two-factor authentication. After entering your login details, you’ll be prompted to enter a 6-digit verification code from your authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator or Duo).

4. Access Your Account: After successful 2FA verification, you’ll be directed to your trading dashboard where you can manage portfolios, place trades, and view charts.

Troubleshooting Login Issues

• Forgot Password: Click “Forgot Password” on the login page. You'll receive a reset link via email. Follow the prompts to create a new password.
• 2FA Issues: Lost access to your authentication device? Use backup codes (if saved) or start the 2FA reset process on Coinbase Help.
• Account Locked or Restricted: For multiple failed attempts, accounts may be temporarily locked. Wait for a cooldown period or contact Coinbase support for assistance.
• Browser Errors: Clear cache and cookies or try a different browser. Make sure your internet connection is stable and you're not using a VPN that could trigger a security block.

Tips for Safe Login

• Always access Coinbase Pro through the official URL.
• Enable 2FA and store backup codes safely.
• Avoid public Wi-Fi for logging in.
• Never share your credentials with anyone.
