A concise guide to understanding the platform transition, login best practices, security controls, developer access, and fee considerations for professional traders.
Coinbase has provided a range of trading products for retail and professional users. Historically, Coinbase Pro served professional traders with an order book, maker/taker fee tiers, and API access. This guide focuses on where to login, how to secure accounts, and which official resources to consult for Advanced/Pro trading.
Short, practical guidance for traders: platform status and login, immediate security steps, API and developer references, trading fees, and how to contact official help if you suspect compromise.
Traders moving from legacy Pro to the current advanced platform, developers building trading tools, and security-conscious users who want a compact checklist and official links.
Coinbase migrated Coinbase Pro customers to the Coinbase Advanced/Advanced Trade experience; as part of that migration, legacy Pro web/mobile logins were phased out and users were guided to use the main Coinbase login and Advanced Trade interfaces.
Use Coinbase’s primary sign-in endpoints and the Advanced/Exchange interfaces for trading. Always verify you are on an official Coinbase domain before entering credentials.
coinbase.com or login.coinbase.com).Enable two-step verification (2FA) and, if available, register a hardware security key (FIDO/WebAuthn or YubiKey). These significantly reduce the risk of account takeover compared with password-only logins.
Use a password manager to generate and store long, unique passwords. Do not reuse passwords across critical services. Remove inactive sessions and review connected apps periodically.
Official Coinbase support will not ask for your password or private keys. Beware of lookalike domains and phishing pages — criminals sometimes clone login pages to harvest credentials.
Coinbase provides Exchange and Advanced Trade APIs for programmatic access to market data and order entry. Use official API docs and SDKs when building bots or integrations, and rotate API keys regularly.
Exchange platforms typically use a maker-taker model with tiered fees based on 30-day volume. Review the official exchange fee page to understand exact fee bands and how they apply to your volume and instrument types.
Consider trade sizing, maker orders, and using limit orders to reduce taker fees. For high-volume traders, institutional programs and negotiated fee tiers may be available.
If you encounter login problems, follow the Help Center guidance: verify identity steps, reset 2FA, or use the account lock/unlock flows for suspected compromises.
For service incidents, consult official status or blog posts from Coinbase — do not rely on third-party pages for critical outage details.
Though Coinbase Pro’s legacy interface has been replaced by Advanced Trade, the principles remain: always use official sign-in endpoints, harden authentication, limit API privileges, and check official fee & support documents for the latest specifics.
