Uphold Login — Quick Step-by-Step Guide

Fast, secure steps to access your Uphold account on desktop or mobile, plus troubleshooting and essential security tips.

What is Uphold?

Uphold is a digital finance platform that acts as a multi-asset wallet and marketplace for fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, and other assets. Logging in is streamlined for both web and mobile — the most common flows use your registered email and a mobile confirmation step to keep access secure.

Before you log in — quick checklist

  • Have your registered email address and password ready.
  • Keep your mobile device with the Uphold app installed and notifications enabled (the app commonly verifies desktop logins).
  • Use a stable network and avoid public Wi-Fi where possible.
  • If you use 2FA, ensure your authenticator app or phone number is accessible.

Logging in on the web (desktop)

  1. Open a browser and go to https://uphold.com, then click Log in.
  2. Enter your registered email and password.
  3. A QR code or a push confirmation will appear — open your Uphold mobile app (must already be signed in) and accept the login request or use the in-app QR scanner to complete verification.
  4. Confirm the prompt on your phone; once verified, your web dashboard will load.
Tip: If you don’t receive a push notification, open the Uphold app directly and use the QR scanner or check the in-app login approvals screen.

Logging in on the mobile app

  • Open the Uphold app on your phone.
  • Enter your email and password, then complete any 2FA required (SMS code or authenticator code).
  • If you lose access to your 2FA method, follow Uphold’s recovery guidance in their Help Centre.

Common login issues & fixes

  • No push notification: enable notifications, disable “Do Not Disturb” or open the app manually.
  • QR code expired: refresh the desktop login page and scan quickly.
  • 2FA problems: ensure device time is correct (important for authenticator apps) or request an SMS code.
  • Forgot password: use the Reset password link on the login screen and follow the emailed steps.
If you suspect unauthorized access, deny any login prompts you didn't initiate and review recent activity immediately — then contact Uphold support.

Security best practices

  • Use a strong, unique password and a reputable password manager.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (prefer an authenticator app over SMS where possible).
  • Keep your mobile OS and the Uphold app up to date.
  • Be cautious of phishing links — confirm the site begins with https://uphold.com before entering credentials.
  • Avoid using rooted or jailbroken devices for financial apps.

Still locked out?

If you cannot regain access after trying the steps above, visit the Uphold Help Centre or use the account recovery options on the login page. Recoveries often require identity verification, so have any requested IDs or account details ready.
