1. Logging In on the Web Platform
Step 1: Visit the Coinbase Website
- Open your preferred web browser and go to the official Coinbase website: www.coinbase.com.

- If you’ve forgotten your password, click on “Forgot Password?” to initiate the password recovery process.
Step 5: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
- If you have 2FA enabled (which is highly recommended for added security), you will be prompted to enter the code sent to your registered mobile device.
- Open your 2FA app (e.g., Google Authenticator or Authy) and input the 6-digit code into the designated field.
Step 6: Click on "Sign In"
- After entering the correct details, click the "Sign In" button.
- You should now be logged into your Coinbase account, where you can manage your portfolio, trade cryptocurrencies, and more.
