Uphold 2FA Reset

**Overview of Uphold Wallet and 2FA**

The Uphold Wallet and Uphold App provide users with secure ways to store, send, and receive digital assets. To enhance security, Uphold uses Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). While 2FA adds a critical layer of protection, users sometimes encounter problems that prevent them from logging in or verifying their accounts.

**Common Uphold 2FA Issues**

**Can't Access Uphold Wallet Due to 2FA**

Sometimes, users lose access to their 2FA device or authentication app, making it impossible to log in. This can happen if you switch devices, uninstall your authentication app, or lose your backup codes.

**Uphold App Not Working**

The app itself might not function properly, showing errors or crashing during login. This can hinder 2FA verification, leaving users locked out.

**Verification Problems**

Errors like Can't verify Uphold Wallet or Uphold error decline often occur due to outdated app versions, network issues, or incorrect authentication codes.

**How to Reset Uphold 2FA**

**Step 1: Prepare Your Account Information**

Before starting the reset, ensure you have your registered email, ID, and any backup codes available. This will make the process faster and smoother.

**Step 2: Contact Uphold Support**

Go to the Uphold Support page and submit a request specifying that you need a 2FA reset. Include your email and detailed description of the problem.

**Step 3: Identity Verification**

Uphold will require verification to ensure the account belongs to you. This may include submitting a government-issued ID, selfies, or other identification methods.

**Step 4: Reset 2FA**

Once verified, Uphold support will guide you through disabling the old 2FA and setting up a new one. Install a trusted authentication app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) and scan the QR code provided by Uphold.

**Step 5: Test the New 2FA**

After resetting, log in using your new 2FA to ensure everything works correctly. Save backup codes in a safe place.
