How Do I Set Up Coinbase Authenticator?

If you’re looking to add an extra layer of security to your Coinbase account, you may be wondering how to set up Coinbase Authenticator. Luckily, it’s a relatively simple process that only takes a few minutes to complete.

First, you’ll need to download the Coinbase Authenticator app from the App Store or Google Play. Once you have the app installed, open it and sign in with your Coinbase account.

You may be asked to verify your identity with a one-time passcode, which you can get by email or SMS.

NOTE: WARNING: Coinbase Authenticator is a powerful tool that must be set up and used with caution. Setting up Coinbase Authenticator can give you access to your funds and account information but it can also be used by malicious third parties to gain access to your wallet if not properly secured. Make sure to follow all instructions carefully as well as enabling two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security.

Once you’re signed in, you’ll be able to add a new phone number and select whether you’d like to receive codes via SMS or push notification. We recommend using push notification as it’s more secure.

Once you have your phone number added, you’ll be able to select what type of codes you’d like to receive. We recommend using time-based codes as they’re more secure than one-time codes.

You’ll then be given a recovery code which you should store somewhere safe in case you lose access to your phone.

And that’s it! You’ve now successfully set up Coinbase Authenticator and can rest assured knowing that your account is more secure than ever.
