This guide covers how to safely access your Coinsquare account, protect it with strong authentication, and follow best practices for secure trading. It is written to be actionable and beginner-friendly.
Before signing in, make sure you are on the official Coinsquare website and that your browser shows a valid secure connection (https). Avoid using public or shared computers for account access. Have your account credentials ready and a second device available if you plan to enable two-factor authentication (2FA). If you use a password manager, confirm it is configured to autofill only on the correct domain.
Follow these steps to log in to your Coinsquare account:
Enable 2FA as soon as possible. Prefer authenticator apps (TOTP) such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or a hardware-based solution over SMS when available. Store your 2FA backup codes securely—preferably offline and in a fireproof location. If you lose access to your 2FA device, Coinsquare's account recovery process will require identity verification.
Create a long, randomly generated password using a password manager. Avoid reusing passwords across services. Change your password immediately if you suspect it has been exposed. Consider using a passphrase that combines unrelated words for better memorability and strength. Never share your password with anyone, and be suspicious of unsolicited requests for it.
Phishing attacks often impersonate customer support or send urgent requests to prompt you to reveal credentials. Always verify the sender's domain, and avoid clicking links from unsolicited emails. When in doubt, access Coinsquare by typing the URL directly into your browser. Coinsquare will never ask for your password or 2FA code via email.
Familiarize yourself with Coinsquare's account recovery procedures. Keep verification documents (when allowed) and any recovery codes secure. If you lose access to your account, follow the official recovery flow on Coinsquare's site and be prepared to provide identity verification as requested.
