A complete guide to logging in, securing your account, verifying identity, and starting trading on Coinbase Pro securely.

Overview

Coinbase Pro is a leading digital asset trading platform. This guide walks through secure login, account creation, two-factor authentication (2FA), navigating dashboards, deposits, withdrawals, trading, and managing cryptocurrencies.

Account Registration

  1. Visit pro.coinbase.com and click "Sign Up".
  2. Enter your email, choose a secure password, and provide personal information.

Tip: Use a unique, high-entropy password and a secure password manager.

Logging in Securely

  • Always log in via the official Coinbase Pro domain or app.
  • Monitor devices and sessions under account settings.

Identity Verification (KYC)
