Reset my password

Coinbase takes precautions to safeguard against unauthorized requests for password resets, which in some cases may include prohibiting crypto sends for up to 48 hours after a password has been reset. 

To minimize the potential for restrictions, reset your password from a device and location (IP address) you’ve previously used to access Coinbase.

Reset your Password

Resetting your password when you’re signed in to your Coinbase account:

  1. From the profile icon, select Settings, then Security.

  2. From the Password section, select Change password.

  3. Enter your existing password and the new password, which will generate a 2-step verification code.

  4. Enter the verification code and select Confirm.
