How Do I Add Coinbase to Authenticator App?

If you’re using two-factor authentication with your Coinbase account, you may have noticed that the process for adding Coinbase to your Authenticator app is a little different than other services. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get set up.

1. Open your Authenticator app and tap on the “+” sign in the top right corner.

2. On the next screen, select “Manual Entry”

3. For the “Account” field, enter “Coinbase”

4. For the “Key” field, enter your Coinbase 2FA secret key. This can be found by going to https://www.coinbase.com/settings/security and scrolling down to the Two-Factor Authentication section.

Tap on “SHOW QR CODE” and then use your Authenticator app to scan the QR code. Alternatively, you can manually enter the secret key into the Key field.

NOTE: WARNING: Before adding your Coinbase account to an Authenticator app, it is important to make sure that you are downloading the official Coinbase app for your device. Do not download applications from third-party stores, as these may contain malicious software. Additionally, be sure to enable two-factor authentication on your Coinbase account and store your backup codes somewhere safe in case you forget your password.

5. Once you’ve entered all the information, tap on the “Add” button in the top right corner and you should see Coinbase listed as one of your accounts in the Authenticator app.
