How To Change Your Coinbase Password In 2023

Keeping your Coinbase account secure is of utmost importance, and one of the most effective ways to do that is by changing your password regularly.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to change your Coinbase password both from the login screen and from within your account settings.

Resetting Your Password from the Login Screen

If you’ve forgotten your Coinbase password, don’t worry – it’s a straightforward process to reset it. Here’s how:

1. Visit the Coinbase Password Reset page or select “Forgot password?” from the login screen.
2. Enter the email address associated with your Coinbase account and select “Reset password.”
3. Check your inbox (and spam folder if necessary) for a password reset email from Coinbase.
4. Select the link in the email and follow the prompts to create a new password.

Changing Your Password from Your Account Settings

If you know your current password and just want to change it, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Coinbase account and select the profile icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
2. Select “Settings,” then “Security.”
3. Scroll down to the “Password” section and select “Change password.”
4. Enter your existing password and your new password. Your new password should be strong and unique, using a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.
5. A 2-step verification code will be generated. Enter the code and select “Confirm.”

Password-Reset Delays

Coinbase takes security seriously, and to protect your account from unauthorized access, there may be delays in processing password reset requests from new devices.

To avoid any delays, reset your password from a device and location that you have previously used to access Coinbase.

If you need to reset your password from a new device, Coinbase may delay the processing of your request for up to 24 hours.

In such cases, the best solution is to reset your password from a previously authorized device.

Conclusion

Changing your Coinbase password is an essential step in keeping your account secure.

By following these simple steps, you can reset your password quickly and easily, whether you’ve forgotten your current password or just want to change it.

Remember to choose a strong, unique password and to reset your password regularly to protect your account against potential threats.
