Hey there. Can I tell you something honest? How many times has it happened that you were about to place a trade, your finger was on the mouse and then… a Deriv Login problem ruined everything? It is possible that you have forgotten your password for the third time this week. Or that two-factor authentication code is not coming. Or you saw the message “account temporarily locked” and sheer frustration overwhelmed you.
Know one important thing – you are not alone, and this happens with everyone. It has happened to me many times as well and so many times that I probably don’t even want to admit it. When technology comes in between goals, there is nothing more annoying than this.
So I thought I’d sit back and write this guide. This isn’t some computer-generated article full of keywords. This is just me sharing all of the knowledge I’ve gained over years of utilizing Derivs and assisting others. We’ll work together to address this problem step-by-step without utilizing any perplexing technical terms. My only objective is to get you into your account as soon as possible, safely, and stress-free.
So, take a deep breath. Let’s fix this.
Understanding the Deriv Platform
Before jumping into passwords and login screens, it’s helpful to remember what we ultimately want to access. Deriv isn’t a simple website; it’s a powerful and versatile trading platform.
When you log in to your Deriv account, you’re opening the door to a whole suite of tools:
Multiple Trading Platforms: You get DTrader for a clean and simple experience, Deriv MT5 (MetaTrader 5) for advanced charting and analysis, and even DBot if you’re interested in automated trading strategies.
A Wide Range of Markets: From Forex and commodities to stocks, cryptocurrencies, and their unique synthetic indices, everything is available and ready for trading.
Your Financial Dashboard: This is your command center. From here you can deposit funds, withdraw your profits, view your transaction history, and manage all account settings from one place.
Your login email and password are keys to the whole world. It’s understood that Deriv takes security seriously — and we should too. Secure login is not a hassle; it’s what protects your capital and personal information.
Straightforward Guide to Login
Let’s start with the basic process, and then move on to the more advanced steps. This is all you need if you are not having any issues. Pay close attention to these measures.
Step 1: Most Important Step – Go to the Real Website
First This is the best advice I can give you. The Internet is full of clever scams. Fake websites are made to look like the real Deriv.com, but they have only one purpose: check your login details.
What Not to Do:
Never search for “Deriv login” on Google and then click on the first ad or link
Do not click on login links sent to you in emails or messages, no matter how genuine they may seem
What to do:
Open your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge – it doesn’t matter)
Click on the address bar at the top of the window
Type www.deriv.com yourself and press Enter
Look for the padlock symbol next to the URL – it means your connection is secure
Step 2: Find the Login Button and Click It
Then After the Deriv website loads, look at the top right corner of the screen. You will see a clear button with “Log in” written on it. Click on it. A login window or page will open.

Step 3: Enter Your Login Information
Now, you will see two fields where the information is being asked.
Email Address: Type the exact email address that you used when you created your Deriv account. I know it sounds funny, but double-check for typos. What is it? @gmail.com or did you type @gmil.com by mistake?
Password: Type your password carefully. A pro tip: Check if your Caps Lock is on. This is the number one reason for “invalid password” errors. “Password123” and “password123” are not the same since passwords are case-sensitive.

Step 4: Manage the Two-Factor Authentication process.
You’ll have Two-Factor Authentication activated if you’ve taken a wise security precaution, which I hope you have. A new form requesting a six-digit code will show up after you enter your password, and then you can proceed with the next steps.
On your phone, launch the authenticator app (often Authy or Google Authenticator), and then follow the prompts to set it up.
Find the entry for your Deriv account
Type the 6-digit code into the field on the Deriv website
Be quick, as these codes change every 30 seconds
Step 5: Reach Your Account
Last Final click on “Log in” button. If everything is correct, you will be immediately taken to your main account dashboard.

“Forgot Your Password!” – Tension-Free Recovery Plan
This happens even with the best of the best. Your mind goes blank. You may have changed your password last week and now you don’t remember which variation you used. Don’t worry. The process to reset is straightforward.
Deriv Login
1. Start the Reset Process
On the Deriv login page, click “Forgot password?” below the password field
Enter your registered email address carefully
Click “Submit” or “Send Instructions”
2. Check Your Email Inbox
Open your email and look for the password reset link from Deriv
If the email doesn’t appear within 2-3 minutes, check your Spam, Junk, Promotions, and Social folders
Click the “Reset Password” link in the email
3. Create a New, Strong Password
This is your second chance. Avoid using basic, insecure passwords, and never use the same password on more than one website.
A strong password should:
Have a minimum of 12 characters.
Make use of a variety of capital and lowercase characters, symbols, and numbers.
Example: Sunshine@Trade$2025 or Blue_Mountain_Coffee!
4. Confirm and Save
Type the new password again to confirm
Click the Save button
Return to the Deriv login page and try logging in with your new password
Fix for Every Common Login Problem: A Troubleshooting Guide
Sometimes the standard process doesn’t work. Something weird is happening. Let’s unravel the mystery and turn into detectives. These are the most typical problems and their solutions.
▪︎ Problem 1: “Invalid Email and Password” Error
First, Common Reasons:
Caps Lock key is on
Space at the beginning or end of the password
The email address has a little error.
Fix: Before carefully copying and pasting your email address and password into the login areas, first type them in Notepad or TextEdit, and then you can see precisely what you’re entering.
▪︎ Problem 2: Not Using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
The code is wrong: Most commonly caused by unsynced phone time
Fix: Locate “Time correction,” “Synchronize clocks,” or “Sync now” in the authenticator app’s options to adjust the time.
SMS code not coming: After a minute, check your cell signal, make sure airplane mode is off, and ask for the code once more.
▪︎ Problem 3: Website Slow, Buggy or Not Loading
Reason: Usually a problem with your browser or internet connection
Fixes:
Empty your browser’s cache and cookies.
Try using incognito or private mode. (Mac: Cmd+Shift+N; Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Shift+N)
Try using a different browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.
Unplug your router for 30 seconds to restart it.
▪︎ Problem 4: “Account Temporarily Locked”
Reason: Multiple wrong login attempts in a short time
Fix: Wait 15-30 minutes without attempting to login. Use this time to complete the password reset process.
▪︎ Problem 5: Deriv Servers Down
How to check: Visit status monitoring websites or check Deriv’s official social media channels for server status updates.
Why Security Is Your #1 Priority (Not Just a Problem)
Let me make this clear in one thing. Your trading account is directly connected to your money. Considering login security a burden is like leaving the keys of your bank vault on the street. Let’s alter your perspective.
Turn on two-factor verification (2FA).
Enabling 2FA should be your top priority if you can only complete one task using this tutorial. The strongest security feature is this one. A hacker cannot access your account without physically taking your phone, even if they manage to gain your password.
Maintain Proper Password Hygiene
“password123”, “qwerty” and your pet’s name… these are not passwords. They are invitations to hacking, so make sure your Deriv account password is both distinct and complicated. Then, think about utilizing a password manager such as LastPass or Bitwarden.
Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Trading
Never log in to your trading account over public Wi-Fi at coffee shops, airports, or hotels, because these networks are often unsecured. However, if you must trade while traveling, use your phone’s mobile data hotspot.
Beware of Phishing Scams
You may receive emails that look completely authentic from “Deriv Support,” asking you to click links to “confirm your account details,” but this is a scam. Furthermore, Deriv will never ask for your password or 2FA code via email.
Using the Deriv Mobile App: Trading From Anywhere
The Deriv mobile app is fantastic for monitoring trades and managing accounts when you are away from your computer.
