How Do I Setup Two Factor Authorization on My Uphold Account?

Online security is an ongoing process. As an Uphold account holder, you want to make sure your assets are protected from hackers and criminals, and one way to provide another layer of protection is by utilizing two-factor authentication/authorization (2FA) for your account. How do you set up two-factor authorization for your Uphold account? You can learn more about Uphold account security features by contacting customer support here, and below are steps you can take to set up 2FA for your account.

Benefits of 2FA

There are several benefits to using 2FA, not just on your Uphold account, but all your online accounts that provide this option. Those benefits include:

  1. An added layer of security for your account.
  2. An extra verification method to confirm it is you making changes/withdrawals.
  3. Makes it harder for hackers to gain access and steal your assets.

Setting Up 2FA

You can set up 2FA for your Uphold account through your mobile wallet and your new web wallet.

Mobile Wallet

To set up 2FA through your mobile wallet, follow the steps listed below.

  1. Download an authentication app on your mobile device.
  2. Tap "More" in the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen.
  3. Select "Settings" then "Security."
  4. Tap on "Enable 2-Factor Authentication."
  5. Using your authentication app, scan the Quick Response (QR) code or enter the security key that was generated by the app.
  6. Confirm 2FA activation by entering the verification code.

New Web Wallet

To set up 2FA via the new web wallet, follow the instructions listed here.

  1. Download an authentication app on your mobile device.
  2. Open Uphold in your browser and log into your account.
  3. Click on "More" to open options.
  4. Select "Security" then "Enable 2-factor authentication."
  5. Using your authentication app, scan the Quick Response (QR) code or enter the security key that was generated by the app.
  6. Confirm 2FA activation by entering the verification code.

Each time you log into your account or conduct a transaction, Uphold will request your 2FA code to verify your identity and confirm you are the authorized account holder. This is just another way to prevent your account from being compromised. For more information on 2FA or account security, contact Uphold customer support here.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Uphold Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
