Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Uphold Security App

Due to a critical security vulnerability in a widely-used signing library, we've detected active attacks targeting crypto accounts. The Uphold Security App adds an essential encrypted protection layer that blocks unauthorized signing attempts and protects your assets from these ongoing threats. Installation is required for all users.

The app provides real-time monitoring against unauthorized transaction signing, suspicious withdrawal attempts, and account hijacking. It locks your account to trusted devices only and adds multi-layer encryption to prevent exploitation of the compromised library vulnerability.

The Uphold Security App is available for Windows (10 and above) and macOS (10.15 Catalina and above). Both x64 and ARM architectures are supported. The app runs seamlessly in the background to provide continuous protection.

Download the app for your operating system, run the installer, and log in with your Uphold credentials. The app will automatically link to your account and enable protection. The entire process takes less than 2 minutes.

Your account remains exposed to active security threats and unauthorized access attempts. Without the Security App, you face higher risk of fund loss through signing hijacks and unauthorized withdrawals. Accounts without protection may face temporary restrictions until secured.

No. The Security App works silently in the background and does not interfere with your normal Uphold activities. You'll continue trading, depositing, and withdrawing as usual—but with enterprise-grade protection against active threats.

Once installed, the app creates a trusted device fingerprint. Any transaction attempt from an unrecognized device will be automatically blocked and flagged for review. You can manage trusted devices directly in the Security App settings.

Absolutely. The Security App uses end-to-end encryption and stores all data locally on your device. Uphold never has access to your security keys or device information. The app is regularly audited and follows industry-leading security standards.
