Coinbase Authenticator Code Not Showing? Here’s How to Fix It

• Coinbase Asks for a Code I Don't Have? Here's the Fix**

Using a code from an app is a great way to keep your Coinbase account safe. But what if the app isn't showing you a code? If you're locked out because **Coinbase isn't accepting your code**, don't stress. This will go over the usual reasons and how to get back into your account.

• Why Can't I See My Coinbase Code?**

A few things can stop your code app (like Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.) from showing the right code:

1. Wrong Time** – These apps make codes based on time, so if your phone has the wrong time, it won't work.
2. App Problems** – The app might just be acting up.
3. Wrong Setup** – If you just reset this up, old codes won't work anymore.
4. Internet Issues** – Some apps need the internet to work.
5. App Gone Wrong** – If you deleted and reinstalled the app without saving your codes, they're gone.
6. Account Stuff** – Coinbase might turn off codes for a bit while they're helping you get your account back.

• How to Get Your Coinbase Code Working Again**
• 1. Check Your Time and Date**

These codes depend on having the right time.

• Do This:**
• Android:**
• Go to **Settings> System> Date & Time**.
• Turn on **Automatic date & time**.
• iPhone:**
• Go to **Settings> General> Date & Time**.
• Turn on **Set Automatically**.

Then, check the app again.

• 2. Try Restarting the App**

Sometimes, just closing and reopening the app helps.

• Here's How:**

1. Close the app all the way.
2. Open it again and see if the code is there.
3. If not, try reinstalling the app **(but only if you saved your codes somewhere else!)**.

• Careful:** If you uninstall Google Authenticator without saving your codes, **they're gone for good** unless you have a backup.
• 3. Use Coinbase's Oops, I Can't Get a Code Codes**

When you set this up, Coinbase gave you some extra codes.

• How to Use Them:**

1. Go to [Coinbase Login](https://www.coinbase.com/login).
2. Type in your email and password.
3. When it asks for a code, click **Need another way to authenticate?**
4. Pick **Enter a backup code** and type in one you haven't used yet.

• Take note:** Each code only works **one time**. If you lost them, you'll need to do **account recovery**.
• 4. Resync the App**

If fixing the time didn't help, try this.

• For Google Authenticator:**

1. Open the app and tap the **three dots (⋮)**.
2. Tap **Settings> Time correction for codes**.
3. Tap **Sync now**.

• For Authy:**

1. Open Authy and tap **Settings**.
2. Turn **Use Universal Time** off, then on again.

• 5. Turn Off and Back On**

If the app still isn't working, you might need to reset this.

• Steps:**

1. Log in using a different way they let you (like a text or email).
2. Go to **Settings> Security> 2FA**.
3. Click **Remove** next to the app.
4. Set it up again by scanning the new QR code.

• 6. Ask Coinbase for Help**

If nothing else works, you'll need to contact them.

• How to Reach Out:**

1. Go to [Coinbase Help](https://help.coinbase.com/).
2. Click **Contact Us** and tell them what's up.
3. They'll probably ask you to prove who you are.

• Heads up:** It usually takes **a day or two** for them to get back to you.
• How to Avoid This Later**
• Keep Extra Codes Safe** – Write them down or save them somewhere safe (like a password manager).
• Use Authy Instead of Google Authenticator** – Authy saves your codes to the cloud.
• Have More Than One Option** – Add a text or email as a backup.
• Help! More Questions!**
• 1. Why isn't my app making a code?**
