Uphold offers a secure and straightforward login process to access your digital wallet and financial assets. Protecting your Uphold account with multiple layers of security ensures that your funds and personal information remain safe from unauthorized access.
"Two-factor authentication (2FA) is critical in fortifying your Uphold account login and safeguarding your wallet."
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Uphold strongly encourages enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of protection. This requires entering a one-time verification code in addition to your password whenever you log in.
- To enable 2FA, go to Settings > Security within your Uphold account.
- Choose your preferred 2FA method: SMS (only in selected countries) or authentication apps such as Google Authenticator or Authy.
- After setup, every login and sensitive transaction will require confirmation via the verification code, preventing unauthorized access.
- Never share your 2FA codes with anyone and keep your authentication device secure.
Custodial Wallet Security
Uphold is a custodial wallet, meaning the platform holds your private keys on your behalf while maintaining stringent security standards. Their infrastructure includes end-to-end encryption, continuous security audits, and regulatory compliance with global financial authorities such as FinCEN, FCA (UK), and others.
Regular penetration tests, continuous monitoring, and data protection policies protect your assets and personal data against breaches.
Additional Security Best Practices
- Use a strong, unique password for your Uphold account.
- Beware of phishing attempts and always verify URLs before logging in.
- Log out from your Uphold account when finished, especially on shared devices.
- Regularly review your account activity and immediately report suspicious behavior.
