What Is 2-Step Verification Code on Coinbase?

2-Step Verification Code on Coinbase is an additional security measure that requires you to enter a code from your mobile device in order to log in to your account. This code is generated by an app such as Google Authenticator or Authy.

2-Step Verification is an important security measure because it adds an extra layer of protection against hackers. If a hacker were to obtain your password, they would also need to have access to your mobile device in order to log in to your account.

If you enable 2-Step Verification, we recommend that you use an app like Google Authenticator or Authy. These apps generate a unique code that changes every 30 seconds.

NOTE: WARNING: The 2-Step Verification Code on Coinbase is designed to provide an extra layer of security for your account. If you receive a 2-Step Verification Code and do not recognize it, DO NOT provide the code to anyone else. If someone contacts you and asks for the 2-Step Verification Code, it is likely a scam. Coinbase will never ask you for your 2-Step Verification Code.

This means that even if a hacker were to obtain your password, they would not be able to log in to your account unless they also had access to your mobile device.

We understand that 2-Step Verification may be an inconvenience, but we believe that the extra security it provides is worth the hassle. If you have any questions about 2-Step Verification, please contact our support team.
