BlockFi Login — Access Your Account Safely

Quick overview: what this guide covers

This guide explains how to perform a secure BlockFi Login, what precautions to take before and during sign-in, how to enable two-factor authentication (2FA), how to recognize phishing, and how to recover access safely. Use it whenever you sign in from a new device or suspect anything unusual.

Before you log in: checklist

• Confirm official URL: always type the official domain into your browser (do not click suspicious links). Bookmark the official site for repeat access.
• Update software: ensure your browser, operating system, and antivirus/anti-malware tools are up to date.
• Use a private network: avoid using public Wi-Fi when accessing financial accounts. If you must, use a trusted VPN.
• Password ready: use a unique, strong password stored in a reputable password manager; never reuse exchange passwords elsewhere.

Step-by-step: safe BlockFi Login flow

1. Open your browser and go to the official site: type the domain manually or use a bookmark. Confirm the connection is HTTPS and the certificate matches the official owner.
2. Enter your email/username and password: use your password manager autofill to avoid keyloggers or typosquatting domains.
3. Complete two-factor authentication (2FA): after credentials, you’ll typically be prompted for 2FA — use an authenticator app (TOTP) like Authy or Google Authenticator rather than SMS when possible.
4. Confirm device recognition: if prompted to trust or name a device, give it a descriptive name (e.g., “Home Desktop”) so you can recognize unfamiliar devices later.
5. Review account alerts: after login, check notifications or recent activity. If anything looks suspicious, log out immediately and contact official support.

Two-factor authentication: recommended setup

2FA adds a second verification step. Best practices:

• Use a TOTP authenticator app: Authenticator apps generate time-based codes and are far safer than SMS.
• Backup your 2FA QR/secret: securely store the backup codes or the QR secret in a safe place when you set up 2FA, so you can restore access if you lose your phone.
• Consider a hardware security key: where supported, hardware keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn) offer phishing-resistant protection and are highly recommended for high-value accounts.

Recognizing phishing and social-engineering

Attackers use fake emails and sites to steal credentials. Watch for:

• Emails urging immediate action or threat language — verify from the account dashboard, not email links.
• Misspelled domain names, odd subdomains, or mismatched certificate names in the browser.
• Unexpected attachments or prompts to enter your recovery phrase — legitimate services never ask for your private keys or wallet seed.

If you suspect account compromise

1. Immediately change your BlockFi password from a secure device and revoke active sessions if the platform supports it.
2. Disable and reconfigure 2FA only after securing your password and verifying device integrity.
3. Contact official support and provide necessary information — do not post sensitive details publicly.
4. If funds are at risk, consider transferring them to a secure wallet (hardware wallet recommended) you control while you investigate.

Account recovery and support

If you lose access (forgot password or 2FA device lost), follow the platform’s official recovery flow. Typical steps:

• Use the “Forgot password” link to request a reset email to your registered address.
• Prepare identity verification documents if the platform requests KYC to restore access.
• Only use support channels listed on the official website; avoid contact details sent in unsolicited messages.
