Log In® — Uphold® | Official Sign In®
Uphold is a leading digital asset platform that allows users to buy, sell, trade, and hold a wide variety of assets — including over 250 cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP), precious metals (gold, silver, etc.), stablecoins, fiat currencies, and more. Founded on principles of transparency and accessibility, Uphold pioneered the "anything-to-anything" trading model, enabling seamless one-step conversions between different asset classes without intermediate steps or high fees typical on other exchanges.
The platform emphasizes 100% reserves (meaning customer assets are fully backed and never loaned out), real-time proof-of-reserves, regulatory compliance in multiple jurisdictions (including FinCEN in the US, FCA in the UK, and others), and strong security practices. Uphold serves millions of users worldwide and offers features like staking rewards on select assets, a self-custody wallet option (UpHODL), interest-earning opportunities on USD balances, and easy funding via bank transfers, cards, or crypto deposits.
How to Log In to Uphold
Uphold uses a secure, multi-device login process focused on protecting your account:
- Visit the official website: Go to https://uphold.com (or directly to https://wallet.uphold.com/login).
- Click "Log In" in the top right corner.
- Enter your registered email address and password.
- For web logins, Uphold requires confirmation via the mobile app (installed on a trusted device where you're already logged in):
- You'll receive a push notification — tap "Yes, it's me" to approve.
- If no notification arrives (e.g., due to phone settings), open the Uphold mobile app manually and confirm the login request.
- In some cases, scan a QR code displayed on your computer using the app's camera.
- If 2FA (two-factor authentication) is enabled, enter the code from your authenticator app or SMS (depending on your setup).
- Once approved, you'll access your dashboard to trade, manage assets, view balances, or withdraw funds.
Note: The full web experience is optimized for desktop browsers. On mobile devices, use the official Uphold app (available on iOS and Android) for the best experience.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Why do I need the mobile app to log in on the web?
A: Uphold prioritizes security by requiring push confirmation from a trusted mobile device for web logins. This reduces risks from password-only access and helps prevent unauthorized entry.
Q2: I didn't receive the push notification — what should I do?
A: Open the Uphold app directly on your phone (ensure it's updated). Check notification settings, disable Focus/Do Not Disturb mode temporarily, or try again. If issues persist, ensure you're using the same device/IP as usual.
Q3: I'm getting "incorrect email/password" even though they're right.
A: Double-check for typos or caps lock. If forgotten, use the "Forgot password?" link to reset. Also, check Uphold's status page for any outages or maintenance.
Q4: My 2FA code isn't working — how do I fix it?
A: Ensure your authenticator app's time is synced (auto-sync usually fixes drift). If locked out, use Uphold's recovery process in the app (selfie verification + reset) or submit a support ticket via the Help Center.
Q5: Can I log in without the mobile app?
A: Web logins require app confirmation for added security. The mobile app itself logs in with email/password + 2FA (no separate device push needed).
Q6: What if I suspect my account is compromised?
A: Immediately contact Uphold support, freeze your account via the app if possible, and change passwords/2FA. Never share credentials with anyone claiming to be support.
