Before you sign in — short safety checklist
Prior to entering credentials, verify the domain is coinsquare.com
(or an official regional domain), ensure the page is served over HTTPS, and prefer using a bookmark you created yourself. Avoid using public Wi-Fi for sign-in and keep your browser and operating system patched. Using a password manager reduces the likelihood of phishing and credential reuse problems.
Why these steps matter
Malicious clones and phishing emails are common. Attackers attempt to capture login credentials and 2FA codes to drain accounts. Checking the URL and enabling strong second factors are the most effective defenses against account takeover.
Step-by-step: Web sign-in
- Open your browser, type
https://coinsquare.com/sign-in
into the address bar or use your trusted bookmark. - Enter your registered email address and click Continue.
- Type your password — if you use a password manager, allow it to autofill for accuracy.
- Complete two-factor authentication (2FA) as prompted. Preferred options are authenticator apps or hardware security keys.
- Consider marking the device as trusted only on private, secure machines.
Mobile sign-in
Sign in safely on mobile using the official Coinsquare app or the mobile website. Biometric unlock (Face ID / Touch ID) can be enabled after you authenticate to accelerate future logins, but preserve your primary password and 2FA as the core protections.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) — recommended
2FA adds a strong layer of protection. Coinsquare supports authenticator apps (TOTP) and may support hardware keys. SMS is available in some jurisdictions but is vulnerable to SIM swap attacks — prefer app-based or hardware-based 2FA when possible.
How to enable 2FA
- Sign in and open Account → Security.
- Select Two-factor authentication and choose Authenticator app or a hardware key.
- Scan the QR code in your authenticator app and securely save recovery codes offline.
Troubleshooting common sign-in issues
If you can’t sign in, begin with basic checks: confirm email and password, ensure Caps Lock is off, and verify your authenticator app clock sync. Try an incognito window to rule out browser extensions and test another device to isolate local problems.
Quick troubleshooting checklist
- Try a private/incognito window to avoid extension interference.
- Use a different browser or device to rule out local configuration issues.
- Check system time if TOTP codes are failing — mobile devices should auto-sync time.
- Reset your password using the official password reset flow if needed.
Account recovery & suspected compromise
If you lose access to 2FA or suspect your account is compromised, begin the recovery process immediately via Coinsquare Support. Recovery often requires identity verification (KYC) and may include document uploads and voice/photo checks — these steps protect both you and the platform against fraudulent recovery attempts.
Immediate actions after a suspected breach
- Change your Coinsquare password from any device you control.
- Revoke API keys and active sessions in Account → Security.
- Contact Coinsquare Support immediately using official channels (links below).
Everyday operational tips
For routine safety, separate funds by purpose: keep small active balances on-exchange for trading and move long-term holdings to cold storage or hardware wallets. Use API keys sparingly, and if you use them, enforce least privilege and IP restrictions when available.
Strong Passwords
Use a unique, long password stored in a reputable password manager — never reuse passwords across sites.
Protect API Keys
Limit API permissions, rotate keys periodically, and use IP whitelisting if supported.
Device Hygiene
Keep OS and browser updated, avoid installing suspicious extensions, and consider a separate browser profile for crypto activities.
Monitor Activity
Review account and withdrawal history regularly and enable alerts for large transactions.
