Welcome to the updated Coinsquare login guidance. This content focuses on actionable, practical advice you can use when signing into your account. Cryptocurrency accounts are unique: transactions are frequently irreversible, so a strong sign-in process is your first and most important line of defense. Below we walk through what you should expect from the login flow, which security features to enable immediately after signing in, and how to handle recovery and suspicious activity. The guidance is written for individuals and teams who want to stay secure without adding unnecessary friction to day-to-day use.
Start with a unique, strong password. A password that is long (12+ characters), random, and stored in a reputable password manager provides a strong foundation. Avoid reusing passwords across services — credential reuse is one of the most common causes of account takeover. Coinsquare stores passwords safely using hashing and salting, and all credential traffic travels over encrypted HTTPS channels. Nevertheless, your personal password habits significantly reduce risk from breaches that occur on other sites.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) as soon as you log in. Coinsquare supports time-based one-time password (TOTP) apps such as Authy or Google Authenticator, and when available supports hardware keys via the WebAuthn standard. TOTP dramatically improves security by requiring a secondary code in addition to your password. Hardware keys are even stronger, protecting against phishing because an attacker would need the physical key to complete authentication. If you enable TOTP, securely save recovery codes offline — they are the last resort if you lose access to your authenticator device.
Use device and session controls proactively. Review active sessions and connected devices in your account settings and revoke any you don’t recognize. Device recognition adds friction only when needed: new browsers or locations can trigger additional verification steps rather than silently allowing access. For users with significant holdings, consider withdrawal whitelists (which restrict transfers to pre-approved addresses) and mandatory re-authentication for higher-value withdrawals. These controls reduce the chance an attacker can instantly transfer funds even after gaining limited access.
Complete identity verification (KYC) early if you plan to use fiat rails or larger withdrawal limits. KYC helps Coinsquare meet regulatory obligations and also speeds up future interactions like deposits and withdrawals. When asked for ID or proof of residence, use the secure upload system inside your account — do not send sensitive documents via email or messaging apps. Keep copies of the documents you provide, but store them encrypted and offline where reasonable.
Understand the account recovery process and prepare for it. Recovery is intentionally rigorous because weak recovery flows are often exploited. If you forget your password or lose your 2FA device, you’ll be guided through a verification process that may require information only the account owner could provide. To minimize disruption, set up at least two recovery options when available: a verified backup email, a phone number (used with caution), or a hardware key. Prefer authenticator apps or hardware keys to SMS-only methods because SIM swap attacks can compromise SMS-based recovery.
Phishing is the top real-world threat. Coinsquare will never ask for your password or 2FA code in unsolicited messages. Carefully inspect sender addresses and hover over links to verify destinations before clicking. If you receive a suspicious email or message, do not follow embedded links — instead navigate directly to coinsquare.com and check messages or notifications within your account. Consider enabling email protections and browser phishing protection plugins to reduce exposure.
Maintain good device hygiene: keep your OS and browser updated, use reputable anti-malware tools, and avoid installing untrusted browser extensions. On shared or public devices, use a private browsing window and always sign out when finished; do not let the browser save passwords on public machines. For regular trading, consider a dedicated browser profile or device for financial accounts to reduce extension and cookie-related risks.
Teams and organizations should use role-based access and administrative controls. Require mandatory 2FA for all team members, enforce hardware keys for privileged roles, and review audit logs regularly for unusual sign-in patterns. Limit withdrawal capabilities to designated accounts and rotate credentials or keys when personnel changes occur. Administrative policies and periodic reviews simplify incident response and reduce insider risks.
If you need help signing in, visit the Coinsquare Support Center for step-by-step guides and troubleshooting. When contacting support, include the exact error text, the approximate timestamp of the failed attempt, and the browser/device used — these details help resolve issues faster. Ready to sign in? Use the form on the right. After your first login, enable 2FA and consider hardware keys and address whitelisting for the strongest protection. Stay vigilant: if anything looks off, contact Support immediately.
