Password-reset delays
Under certain circumstances, Coinbase will only process password reset requests from devices that have been previously authorized to access your account. In the interest of keeping your account secure, Coinbase may, in certain cases, delay the processing of password reset requests for 24 hours if the request originates from a new device. This can only be bypassed by resetting your password from a previously verified device.
