How to access — Drift ® Login

There is no email/password login for on-chain trading. To access Drift ® you connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, etc.) to the official app at app.drift.trade. The platform authenticates you via a signed message and — for first-time traders — a small one-time SOL fee to create an on-chain trading account. Always verify the domain before connecting your wallet. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Troubleshooting Drift ® Login issues

If you see "Drift ® Login not working" or "Error connecting Drift ® account" follow these steps first:

• Confirm you’re on app.drift.trade and not a phishing site.
• Unlock your wallet and ensure it holds enough SOL for fees (first-time setup typically requires ~0.035 SOL). :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Turn off browser extensions that block Web3, clear cache, or try an incognito profile with only your wallet extension installed.
• Switch RPC endpoints or try another browser if connections time out.

Unable to login, signature declines & "error decline"

"Error decline" commonly means the wallet user rejected a signature or the node returned an error. Carefully read the wallet prompt — if it requests an unexpected token approval or a trade you didn’t initiate, reject and relaunch a fresh session. If the decline persists despite confirming prompts, capture console logs and the exact error message; this helps support teams diagnose RPC/node issues or mismatched wallet states. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Account recovery & 2FA

Drift ® is non-custodial when using personal wallets — account recovery depends entirely on your wallet provider and seed phrase. If you lose your seed phrase, Drift cannot restore access. For users who use Drift’s passwordless/email flows or custodial integrations (where available), follow the provider-specific recovery and 2FA reset procedures documented in Drift’s Learn guides. Never share seed phrases or private keys. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
