CoinSquare — Secure Login

Welcome back! Enter your credentials to access your CoinSquare dashboard. This form is an illustrative guide — do not paste private keys or share your password with anyone.

Tip: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in your account settings and use an authenticator app for stronger protection than SMS.

How to log in, stay secure, and recover access

Clear, practical steps and no-nonsense security advice

1. Standard login flow

Open CoinSquare in your browser or mobile app. On the sign-in screen, provide the email address associated with your account and your password. If you enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), you will be prompted to enter your verification code right after your password is accepted. Always confirm you are on the official CoinSquare domain before entering credentials.

2. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) — why it matters

2FA adds a second layer of security. Use an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy, or other TOTP apps) rather than SMS when possible. Authenticator apps are much less vulnerable to SIM swapping and interception.

  • Enable 2FA in Settings → Security.
  • Save backup recovery codes in a secure password manager or on paper stored safely.
  • When switching phones, transfer your authenticator or re-enroll before wiping the old device.

3. Common login issues & quick fixes

If you’re unable to log in, try these steps in order:

  • Check email: Confirm you used the email you originally registered with. Typo? Try case-insensitive variants.
  • Reset password: Use "Forgot password" — follow the email instructions. Make sure reset links come from the official CoinSquare domain and not a lookalike address.
  • 2FA problems: If codes are rejected, check the clock on your authenticator device — TOTP relies on correct time. Use network time or enable automatic clock sync.
  • Browser issues: Clear cache, disable extensions (especially password managers or ad blockers temporarily), or try a private/incognito window.
  • Account locked: Repeated failed attempts can lock access temporarily — follow the lockout message guidance or contact support.

4. Account recovery — best practice

If you lose both your password and 2FA device, follow the official account recovery flow. Be prepared to provide identity verification details (ID, transaction history, or proof of ownership). Never share passwords, private keys, or 2FA codes with anyone — including people claiming to be support unless you initiated the support channel from the official site.

5. Safety checklist before logging in

  • Confirm the URL and SSL lock in the browser address bar.
  • Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive actions; use a trusted network or a VPN.
  • Keep your operating system and browser updated.
  • Use a strong, unique password stored in a modern password manager.
  • Enable push or hardware key authentication for the highest security where available.

6. Extra protection — hardware keys & session hygiene

For high-value accounts, consider using a U2F/hardware security key (like a YubiKey) if the platform supports it. Regularly review active sessions and devices in your account security settings and sign out of devices you no longer use.
