Uphold Login — Fast, secure access to your account

This page helps you sign in safely to Uphold, set up two-factor authentication (2FA), recover access if needed, and understand best practices for keeping your account secure.

Two-factor authentication

Enable 2FA with an authenticator app or SMS for an additional layer of security.

Biometric options

On supported devices, use fingerprint or FaceID for fast, secure sign-in (opt-in).

Recovery & support

If you lose access, follow the verified recovery process—Uphold support will guide you safely through identity verification steps.

Account security: best practices

Protecting your Uphold account is a mix of strong credentials, multi-factor protections, device hygiene, and being alert to phishing and social engineering attempts. Below are practical steps you can take right now.

Use a strong, unique password

Choose a password that's long and unique to Uphold. Avoid reusing passwords from other services. Use a password manager to generate and store complex passwords safely.

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

Prefer time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) via an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator or Authy. While SMS-based 2FA is better than none, TOTP is more resistant to SIM-swapping attacks.

Use biometric sign-in where available

If you're on a personal device, enabling fingerprint or FaceID (when supported) provides both convenience and an added security layer. Always ensure the device itself is secured with a strong passcode.

Recognize phishing & suspicious links

Phishing attacks attempt to trick you into entering credentials on fake pages. Always verify the URL, avoid clicking unknown links, and check for typos or unusual requests. When unsure, navigate to uphold.com manually.

Device and browser hygiene

  • Keep your OS, browser, and security software up to date.
  • Use browser extensions sparingly and only from trusted sources.
  • Consider using a separate browser profile for financial accounts.

Account recovery

If you forget your password, use the official password reset flow from uphold.com. You may be required to complete identity verification steps for certain account actions—follow instructions closely and avoid sharing sensitive documents in unencrypted channels.

Advanced protections

For high-value users, consider hardware-based security keys (U2F/WebAuthn) where supported, and enable withdrawal whitelists or transaction approvals if available in your account settings.
