Design patterns for safe sign-in, hardware-backed auth, and everyday account hygiene
This presentation highlights secure login approaches for Uphold users — including demo UI patterns, modern authentication options (WebAuthn, hardware wallets), and operational tips to minimize risk. Visual theme uses dark tones with teal and amber accents.
Why secure login matters
Uphold is a custodial and non-custodial platform for trading and storing digital assets. Secure login prevents unauthorized access to funds, personal data, and trading capabilities.
Protects against account takeovers and unauthorized withdrawals.
Reduces impact of credential-stuffing and phishing attacks when paired with strong MFA.
Enables safe integration with hardware wallets and external services.
Modern auth choices
WebAuthn / Passkeys
Use platform or hardware-backed credentials for phishing-resistant login.
Two-factor authentication
Prefer TOTP apps or hardware security keys over SMS-based 2FA.
Hardware wallet pairing
Where available, pair wallets for transaction approvals and read-only portfolio views.
Operational recommendations
Use a password manager with a strong unique password for your Uphold account.
Enable MFA (TOTP or hardware key) and register recovery codes in a secure place.
Review active device sessions and revoke unknown devices promptly.
Test withdrawals with small amounts before large transfers.
Phishing and social engineering
Always verify URLs, check TLS certificates, and avoid clicking unsolicited links. Uphold will never ask you for your password or full recovery phrase via email.
Incident response quick steps
Immediately change your password and revoke active sessions.
Disable connected third-party apps and revoke API keys.
Contact Uphold support and follow their account recovery procedures.
