Coinbase Pro Login
Coinbase Pro is a professional trading platform offered by Coinbase, designed for active traders who need advanced features such as real-time order books, lower fees, and a variety of trading pairs. Logging into Coinbase Pro is the first step to accessing these features. Here's a comprehensive guide to understanding the Coinbase Pro login process.
1. Accessing Coinbase Pro
To begin, navigate to the official Coinbase Pro website:
Note: As of late 2022, Coinbase Pro has begun transitioning its features into the main Coinbase.com platform under the "Advanced Trade" section. However, users who previously used Coinbase Pro can still access their accounts and trade through the pro portal or the main Coinbase app.
2. Creating an Account
If you don’t already have a Coinbase account, you’ll need to sign up:
- Go to coinbase.com
- Click Get Started
- Provide your name, email address, and a strong password
- Verify your email
- Complete KYC by submitting identity verification documents
- Set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security
Once your Coinbase account is created, you can use the same credentials to log into Coinbase Pro.
3. Coinbase Pro Login Steps
To log into Coinbase Pro:
- Go to https://pro.coinbase.com
- Click on Sign In in the top-right corner.
- Enter your email and password associated with your Coinbase account.
- Complete 2-Step Verification:
- A code will be sent to your registered mobile device.
- Enter the 7-digit code to complete login.
- You’ll be directed to your trading dashboard.
4. Troubleshooting Login Issues
If you're having trouble logging in:
- Wrong password/email: Use the “Forgot password?” link to reset.
- 2FA issues: Ensure your phone is working and you’re receiving codes. You can also update your 2FA settings by logging into Coinbase.com and visiting Settings > Security.
- Account locked: If you’ve entered incorrect login details too many times, your account may be temporarily locked for security.
5. Security Tips
Coinbase Pro handles millions in daily trade volume, making it a target for hackers. Use these best practices:
- Enable 2FA (Google Authenticator preferred over SMS)
- Never share login credentials
- Bookmark the official Coinbase Pro site to avoid phishing
- Regularly review account activity for unauthorized access
6. Mobile Access
Coinbase Pro also has a mobile app available on iOS and Android:
- Download the Coinbase Pro app
- Log in with your Coinbase email and password
- Complete 2FA to access the trading interface
The app supports full trading functionality, including deposits, withdrawals, and order management.
7. Migration to Advanced Trade
Coinbase is phasing out the standalone Pro platform. Advanced Trade is now available on Coinbase.com and the Coinbase mobile app. You can still log into Pro for now, but it’s advised to transition to Advanced Trade for long-term access to similar features.
