Drift ® Login & common variants

There are several ways traders access Drift ®. Historically Drift ® required wallet connection only (connect Phantom, Solflare, etc.) but it also supports modern passwordless / email-auth flows and Magic Wallet experiences to make onboarding easier. If you search for "Drift Login" or "Drift .com Login" be aware the canonical domain is drift.trade. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Troubleshooting: unable to login / "Drift Login not working"

If you get an error connecting your wallet or "Error connecting selected wallet", check: (1) your wallet extension/app is installed & unlocked, (2) you are on the correct network (Solana mainnet), (3) pop-ups are allowed in your browser, and (4) try a private window or alternative wallet. Community threads often report extension conflicts or outdated wallet providers causing connection issues. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Account recovery, password reset & 2FA

For email/password or passwordless flows use the site's "forgot password" / magic link flow. For 2FA-related resets follow Drift ® support instructions — the docs and help center outline enabling/disabling 2FA and trusted device flows. If you enabled a hardware wallet or seed phrase, recovery must be done with your wallet seed; Drift ® support cannot recover on-chain keys. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

When the Drift ® App is not working

App problems can be caused by browser cache, network congestion on Solana, or a mismatched cluster URL. Steps: clear cache, switch RPC to a reliable provider, ensure SOL for fees, confirm contract/market status on the app, and consult the Drift ® status/updates page before trading. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Error: "Can't verify wallet" or "error decline"

"Can't verify wallet" often means signature authorization was denied (user rejected the transaction) or wallet timed out. Reconnect, reauthorize the signature, and avoid wallet popups being blocked. If you repeatedly see "decline", check your wallet logs and Discord/support channels for ongoing incidents. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
