Coinsquare Login — How to access your account safely

This page explains what to expect when you sign in to Coinsquare, how to set up stronger authentication, how to recover access if you get locked out, and practical steps to avoid common login scams.

Before you sign in

Use the official Coinsquare URL saved in your password manager or typed from a trusted source. Avoid clicking links in unsolicited messages — attackers commonly spoof login pages to harvest credentials. Confirm your browser shows a secure connection (HTTPS) and the expected site name.

Step-by-step login flow

The typical sign-in flow includes your email or username, password, and (if enabled) a second factor. After entering credentials, you may receive a One-Time Password (OTP) via an authenticator app or SMS — authenticator apps are strongly preferred because they are less vulnerable to SIM-based attacks.

  • Enter email/username: ensure there are no trailing spaces when pasting.
  • Enter password: use a unique high-entropy password stored in a password manager.
  • Complete 2FA: open your authenticator and enter the 6-digit code, or use your hardware security key if supported.

Two-factor authentication — make it strong

2FA drastically reduces risk. Prefer time-based authenticators (TOTP) such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or a hardware security key (WebAuthn/FIDO2). When enabling 2FA, securely save recovery codes offline — these are the last resort if you lose access to your authenticator device.

If you can't log in

Start with simple checks: correct email, no accidental caps lock, and internet connectivity. If you forgot your password, initiate the official recovery flow — only through the platform’s password reset page. If you no longer control the email on file, contact support and prepare proof of identity and account activity (timestamps of deposits/withdrawals, wallet addresses used).

Recognize phishing and social engineering

Phishing techniques often present urgent messages about 'account suspension' or 'security alerts' that prompt you to click a link. Always pause and verify: hover links before clicking, and compare the destination domain to the one you expect. Never disclose your 2FA codes, private keys, or account passwords to anyone claiming to be support.

Practical tips to keep access healthy

  • Use a reputable password manager to generate and store unique passwords.
  • Enable biometric unlock on your authenticator device, if available.
  • Rotate session tokens by logging out of public or shared devices after use.
  • Keep your device OS and browser up to date to reduce exploitable vulnerabilities.
  • Consider a hardware wallet for long-term holdings, separate from exchange access.

What to do after suspicious activity

If you detect unauthorized transactions or unexpected changes, freeze withdrawals if the platform supports it, change your password immediately, and revoke all active sessions from your account settings. Contact platform support and your local authorities if funds were stolen — include timestamps and transaction IDs when available.

Pro tip: register and confirm a secondary recovery email and set up account notifications for new device sign-ins — that gives you faster visibility when something unusual happens.
