Why can’t I reset my password?
Coinbase takes a number of steps to ensure the security of our customers’ accounts. These include enforcing strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and device verification.
When a customer attempts to reset their password, we take precautions to ensure that it is a legitimate request. This means that our customers may only reset their passwords from devices they have previously verified, or from locations they have previously logged in from. This requirement provides a safeguard against attempts to illegitimately reset your password.
If you are having trouble resetting your password, you will need to:
- Reset it from a device you have previously used to access Coinbase.
- Reset it from a location (IP address) you’ve previously used to access Coinbase.
If you no longer have access to a previously validated device or IP address, please contact us at [email protected] so we can have a member of our security team assist you with a password reset.
Why will my password reset require 24 hours to process?
As noted above, Coinbase only processes password reset requests from devices that have been previously authorized to access your account. If you are resetting your password from a new device, our system may delay the processing time for 24 hours in the interest of keeping your account secure. This can be bypassed by resetting your password from a previously verified device.
