Welcome. This presentation explains how to securely sign in to your Coinsquare account, how authentication works,
and what best practices reduce risk while saving time. It is aimed at everyday users and small-business traders.
Why Secure Login Matters
A secure login protects your funds and personal data. Cryptocurrency accounts are a prime target for phishing,
credential stuffing, and social-engineering attacks. Strong authentication is essential because once an attacker
controls your account, transactions are irreversible.
Risks to be aware of
- Phishing websites that mimic Coinsquare pages.
- Reuse of passwords across multiple services.
- SMS intercept or weak second-factor choices.
Step-by-step Sign-In Process
1. Navigate to the official site
Always type the official Coinsquare address into your browser or use a trusted bookmark. Check the SSL/TLS lock icon,
confirm the certificate when in doubt, and avoid links in unsolicited messages.
2. Enter credentials
Use your unique email or username. Enter your strong password stored in a reputable password manager. Avoid typing
credentials on public or shared computers.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Enable a strong 2FA method (recommended)
Prefer time-based one-time password (TOTP) apps such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or hardware keys (FIDO2).
These provide a second layer that significantly improves account security compared with SMS.
Backup codes & recovery
Store backup codes securely offline. If you lose access to your second factor, recovery using backup codes is the
safest route; avoid sharing those codes or storing them in cloud notes without encryption.
Recognizing Phishing Attempts
Common signs
- Urgent language demanding immediate action.
- Sender address that slightly differs from official domains.
- Links that redirect to unknown or shortened URLs.
If an email asks for credentials or private keys—do not comply. Contact Coinsquare support through the official site.
Device and Browser Safety
Keep software updated
Run the latest OS and browser updates to reduce vulnerabilities. Use reputable antivirus or endpoint protection
if available, and enable automatic updates where possible.
Use a dedicated browser profile
Consider a dedicated browser profile for financial logins to limit extensions and reduce attack surface.
Account Settings & Security Features
Profile and verification
Keep your profile details up to date and complete verification as required by Coinsquare to unlock higher withdrawal
and trading limits. Review account activity logs regularly.
Security notifications
Enable email and push notifications for new device logins and withdrawals so you can act quickly if suspicious activity occurs.
Safe Recovery Practices
Recovery phrase and key management
If using wallets linked to Coinsquare, store recovery phrases offline—preferably in multiple secure physical locations.
Never share keys or phrases with anyone. Use hardware wallets for large balances.
When to contact support
If you detect unauthorized transactions, change passwords immediately and contact Coinsquare support through the
official support portal. Provide only requested verification—never your password or private key.
Quick Tips & Best Practices
- Use a password manager to generate and store long, unique passwords.
- Prefer app-based 2FA or hardware tokens over SMS.
- Double-check URLs and use bookmarks for frequent logins.
- Review withdrawal addresses and whitelist frequently used addresses.
