Quickstart — sign in in under a minute
To sign in quickly: go to the official Gemini login page, enter your registered email or username, type your password, and complete two-factor authentication if enabled. New devices may require additional verification via email or SMS depending on your account settings.
Step-by-step sign-in guide
- Open the official sign-in page: navigate to https://www.gemini.com/login (or use the mobile app).
- Enter credentials: type the email/username and secure password associated with your account.
- Complete 2FA: provide the code from your authenticator app or approve via push notification if you use that method.
- Device verification: if prompted, confirm the new device via the verification link sent to your registered email or by entering a code sent to your phone.
- Access dashboard: once authenticated, you'll land on the dashboard where balances, open orders, and market data are visible.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) — why it matters
Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of verification beyond your password. For Gemini, recommended options include:
- Authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy) — recommended for most users because they are resilient and easy to use.
- Push-based verification through the Gemini mobile app.
- Hardware security keys (e.g., YubiKey) — the highest level of protection against phishing.
- SMS — available but less secure due to SIM-swapping vulnerabilities; use only when stronger options are not available.
Enable 2FA in your account security settings and store any generated backup codes in a secure, offline location.
Password & account hygiene
Good password hygiene is a primary defense. Use a long, unique password for your Gemini account and store it in a reputable password manager. Avoid reusing passwords across platforms. If you receive any unexpected password reset emails, treat them with caution and do not click links unless you initiated the action.
Mobile app & desktop access
Gemini offers native mobile apps for iOS and Android as well as a web interface. Download apps only from official app stores or the Gemini website. On mobile, enable biometric unlock (Face ID / Touch ID) for convenient, secure access, and set up app-level protections such as passcodes and secure boot where available.
Account verification & KYC
To access fiat deposits, withdrawals, and higher trading limits, Gemini requires identity verification (KYC). This process typically involves uploading government-issued ID and completing a short identity check. Ensure your documents are current and follow the Help Center guidance for timely verification.
Account recovery & lost access
Lost access scenarios are handled carefully to protect users. If you forget your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page — Gemini will send a reset link to your registered email. If you lose access to your 2FA device, follow the account recovery procedures in the Help Center; be prepared to provide identity verification documents. For complex issues, contact Gemini Support directly rather than relying on unofficial channels.
Recognizing phishing and scams
Phishing remains a top threat. Follow these rules to avoid scams:
- Never enter credentials on unfamiliar or redirected URLs — check the address bar for
gemini.com
. - Do not share verification codes, recovery phrases, or private keys with anyone.
- Be suspicious of urgent emails asking you to take immediate action; verify via the official Help Center or Support channels.
- Bookmark the official login page to reduce the risk of clicking malicious links.
Privacy & data handling
Gemini collects information necessary to provide regulated financial services, including identity documents for compliance. Review Gemini’s Privacy Policy and Legal pages to understand what data is collected and how it is used. Limit public profile information and review connected third-party applications in your account settings to reduce unnecessary data exposure.
Advanced — API access & integrations
Developers and traders can use the Gemini API to integrate programmatic trading, reporting, and tools. Keep API keys private, restrict IP addresses when possible, and rotate credentials periodically. Follow official developer docs and never expose API secrets in public repositories.
Troubleshooting common login issues
- Page not loading: clear browser cache, try an incognito window, or use a different browser. Check system status for outages.
- Invalid credentials: use the password reset link and confirm you're using the correct registered email.
- 2FA codes rejected: ensure your authenticator app clock is accurate; resync if needed.
- Verification delays: identity checks can take time based on volume—watch your email for requests for clearer images or additional documents.
Best practices for long-term account safety
- Use hardware security keys for high-value accounts.
- Keep multiple, secure offline backups of important account-related notes.
- Review account activity logs and revoke any unknown sessions immediately.
- Enable withdrawal whitelists where supported to restrict send destinations.
- Educate yourself via Gemini Learn and community resources to recognize threats.
