If you’re looking into logging in to Coinbase Pro, it’s important to be aware of some recent changes and how to make the process smooth and secure. In this blog post, we’ll walk through what “Coinbase Pro” login means today, why things look a little different than you may remember, and the advantages of using the platform (or its successor) for your crypto trading. Let’s get started!
Coinbase Pro used to be the advanced-trading platform from Coinbase aimed at more experienced crypto traders. However, as of November 20, 2023, Coinbase announced that Coinbase Pro was no longer supported.

Go to the official Coinbase website (or open the mobile app).
Log in with your usual credentials: email + password + two-factor authentication (2FA).
Once logged in, look for the Trade → Advanced Trade option (if you want the kind of features previously found in Coinbase Pro). Investopedia+1
Ensure you’re using secure networks and have 2FA enabled – crypto security is essential!
The shift from Coinbase Pro to Advanced Trade was made to unify the user experience and consolidate features in one platform. According to Coinbase:
They wanted to deliver advanced trading tools and broader crypto services (staking, wallet, etc.) in one place. Coinbase+1
It allows users to avoid toggling between separate apps/platforms.

Here are the benefits you’ll enjoy when you log in through the updated platform:
Unified experience: One login gives you access to buy/sell, advanced charts, staking, wallet and more – no need to switch platforms.
Advanced trading tools: The newer platform retains the advanced tools that Pro offered (order books, limit/stop orders, charting) via Advanced Trade. Investopedia+1
Lower fees for advanced trades: Users who trade higher volumes in the advanced mode benefit from lower, volume-based fee structures – similar to what Pro users had. NerdWallet+1
Security enhancements: Because everything is consolidated on Coinbase’s main infrastructure, you benefit from their broader security measures, including FDIC-insured USD balances (in US), cold-storage and more. Investopedia
Simplified account management: One account means easier tracking of your assets, tax reporting, and transaction history.
Easier for beginners to grow into: If you’re new, you can start with the basic interface and move into Advanced Trade without opening a separate platform.
Always verify you’re on the correct website (look for “coinbase.com” in the URL).
Ensure your email, password, and 2FA are set up securely.
If you held funds on the old Coinbase Pro platform, check that they were migrated; Coinbase states that past Pro customers were notified and transitioned. Coinbase+1
If trading frequently or in large volumes, check fee tiers for Advanced Trade so you know what you’ll pay.
Keep your browser/app updated and consider using hardware 2FA (YubiKey or similar) for added protection.
Review your transaction history regularly – since everything is in one platform now, it’s easier to monitor but also important to stay vigilant.
Logging in to what was formerly Coinbase Pro now means logging in to your Coinbase account and then accessing the “Advanced Trade” area if you want full advanced features. While the branding has changed, many of the same advantages remain — and consolidation may even make things easier for many users. Whether you’re an experienced crypto trader or just getting started, ensuring a secure login and proper use of the updated platform is key to making the most of your crypto experience. Good luck and happy trading! 🎉
