Understanding BlockFi login
BlockFi accounts are custodial financial accounts that require careful handling — your login credentials and multi-factor authentication (MFA) protect access to balances, trading, and lending features. This guide explains how BlockFi login typically works, how to enable and manage MFA, how to troubleshoot common login problems, and what safety steps to take to reduce risk.
Always use the official URL: https://blockfi.com/login. Verify HTTPS and the domain to avoid phishing.
Sign-in requires your registered email and password. Use a long, unique password and a password manager to store it securely.
BlockFi (like other custodial services) may show active sessions or allow device management — regularly review and revoke unknown devices.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Enabling MFA is essential. BlockFi typically supports authenticator apps (TOTP) and email/SMS verification. Authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy) are more secure than SMS. For TOTP, scan the QR code during setup and securely store your recovery codes in case you lose the device.
Account recovery & safety checklist
Because BlockFi is a custodial platform, account recovery depends on identity and email control. If you lose access to your email or MFA device, follow BlockFi's official recovery procedures — expect identity verification steps. Prepare ahead with the following checklist to reduce friction:
- Keep your recovery email active and secure with its own strong MFA.
- Store BlockFi backup/recovery codes in a safe offline place.
- Use device-based authenticators and back up the authenticator seed if possible.
- Keep a record of recent transactions and account details in a secure note to help support verification if needed.
Finally, remain vigilant for phishing: BlockFi will never ask you to provide your password or full MFA code in an unsolicited message. When in doubt, navigate directly to blockfi.com/login and contact official support from there.
Emergency steps if account compromised
- Immediately change your email and BlockFi passwords from a secure device.
- Revoke active sessions and devices from the account settings (if available).
- Contact BlockFi support and provide incident details promptly.
- Consider moving remaining funds to a different, secure custody if you still control the account.
