How to log in (connect) to AAVE ®

AAVE ® is wallet-first: there’s no username/password on the protocol itself. To access the app, go to app.aave.com and click Connect wallet. Supported connectors include MetaMask, WalletConnect and hardware wallets — pick the one you own, switch the wallet to the correct network (e.g. Ethereum mainnet or Polygon) and approve the signature to view your wallet dashboard. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Security tip: always confirm you are on https://app.aave.com (or the official domain shown above) before approving any signature or transaction.

Troubleshooting common login issues

“Login not working” / “Unable to connect”: clear browser cache, disable conflicting extensions (ad-blockers/privacy extensions), or try another browser/profile. Reinstall/update your wallet extension and restart the browser. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Signature rejected / error decline: re-open the wallet app, confirm the domain in the signature prompt and retry. If you see unexplained nonce or transaction errors, copy console logs and the exact error for support. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
App not showing balances: ensure wallet is connected to the correct network and the token contracts are recognized; sometimes a network switch is required. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Account recovery & 2FA notes

AAVE ® itself is non-custodial — you recover access with your wallet’s seed phrase or hardware key. There is no protocol-level password reset. If you linked a custodial service or exchange to move funds, follow that provider’s 2FA and recovery flow. Always keep seed phrases offline and never share them. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

FAQs — quick answers
