Before you sign in

Checklist

  • Open a new browser window and type https://uphold.com/login directly into the address bar.
  • Ensure your browser is up to date and that you are on a secure network — avoid public Wi‑Fi for sensitive sign‑in.
  • Have your 2FA device ready (authenticator app or hardware security key) if you have 2FA enabled.
  • Confirm the URL shows uphold.com and a valid TLS lock icon.

Why this matters

Typing the URL manually reduces the chance of visiting a phishing site. Browser warnings and TLS certificates are first-line indicators that the site is authentic.

Step-by-step: Standard Sign-In Flow

Step 1 — Navigate

Go to https://uphold.com/login. You should see the Uphold sign-in form requesting your email and password.

Step 2 — Enter credentials

Type your registered email address, then your password. Use your password manager to fill credentials securely if you use one.

Step 3 — Complete 2FA

If prompted, provide your second-factor code from an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy) or use your hardware key.

Step 4 — Post-login checks

  • Confirm the account name and email in the top-right corner.
  • Check recent activity if anything looks unfamiliar.

If you use SSO (single sign-on) or a social provider, follow those provider's login prompts instead of entering credentials on a different page.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Why enable 2FA?

2FA adds a second layer of protection beyond your password, dramatically reducing the risk of account takeover. Uphold supports authenticator apps and hardware security keys.

How to enable 2FA

  1. Log in and go to your account security settings.
  2. Choose Enable Authenticator App or Register Security Key.
  3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app or register your hardware key.
  4. Save recovery codes and store them in a secure place (not on a shared computer).
Tip

Prefer a hardware security key (FIDO2) where possible — it protects against phishing and remote code attacks better than SMS or app‑based codes alone.

Password hygiene

Good habits

  • Use a unique password for Uphold; never reuse passwords across services.
  • Create long passphrases (16+ characters) composed of words, numbers, and punctuation.
  • Use a reputable password manager to generate and store complex passwords.
  • Change your password immediately if you suspect compromise.

Avoid storing account passwords in plain text or email drafts. If you must write them down temporarily, transfer them to a password manager and destroy the notes.

Troubleshooting common sign-in problems

Problem: Incorrect password

Use the "Forgot password" flow to reset. Uphold will send a reset link to your registered email. If you don't receive an email, check your spam folder and verify the correct email is used.

Problem: Lost 2FA device

If you lose access to your authenticator, use your previously saved recovery codes or follow Uphold's account recovery steps in the Help Center.

Problem: Login blocked or suspicious activity

Contact Uphold support via the official help page and check system status. If you suspect unauthorized access, change your password and enable 2FA immediately.

Account recovery — what to expect

Account recovery may require identity verification for security. Uphold's Help Center describes required documents, expected wait times, and how to track your request.

Support & resources

Keep a copy of any support case numbers and correspondence until the issue is resolved.

Recognize and avoid phishing

Red flags

  • Unexpected emails asking for login details or immediate action.
  • URLs that are misspelled or use different domains (e.g., uphold-login.example.com).
  • Unsolicited attachments or links sent via SMS or messaging apps.

Action steps if you suspect phishing

  1. Do not click any links or download attachments.
  2. Manually navigate to https://uphold.com and log in to confirm account status.
  3. Report phishing to Uphold's support and delete the message.

Mobile sign-in tips

Use the official app

Download the official Uphold app from your platform's store (App Store / Google Play). Links to official apps are available on the Uphold website and blog.

Biometric login

If your mobile device supports biometrics (Face ID / Touch ID), consider enabling biometric unlock for added convenience while keeping 2FA for high-risk actions.

Security checklist — advanced

For high-value accounts

  • Enable hardware security keys for account login and transaction approvals.
  • Use separate email addresses for financial services and general correspondence.
  • Audit API keys and connected services monthly.
  • Set up account alerts for high-value transactions and changes to account settings.
Logging & monitoring

Review your "Recent activity" in Uphold frequently and take screenshots of suspicious activity — it helps support investigations.

FAQ — quick answers

Can I use a password manager?

Yes — password managers are strongly recommended. Use them to generate and autofill strong unique passwords.

What if I don't have my recovery codes?

Follow the account recovery flow in the Help Center; expect identity verification and some processing time depending on the request complexity.

Are SMS codes safe?

SMS is better than nothing but less secure than authenticator apps or hardware keys due to SIM-swapping risks. Prefer app-based 2FA or keys.

Design & accessibility

Readable, high-contrast layout

This HTML presentation uses clear headings (h1 → h5), sufficient color contrast, and semantic markup to help screen readers and assistive technologies navigate content.

Tips for presenters

  • Use the Tab key to demonstrate keyboard navigation through the login form.
  • Show the TLS lock and explain what it means for user security.
  • Open the Help Center to show the user where to find recovery instructions in real time.

Demo script: walk-through login

Presenter script

"Open a new browser tab and type https://uphold.com/login. Notice the 'lock' icon and the 'uphold.com' domain. Enter your email, then use your password manager to autofill your password. When prompted for 2FA, open your authenticator app and type the 6-digit code. Finally, confirm you're logged in by checking the account profile in the top-right corner."

Note

Do not use real user credentials while demonstrating to an audience. Create a test account if you need a live demo environment.
