1. Overview: why secure login matters
Cryptocurrency accounts are high-value targets. Your login is the gateway to funds and private data — protect it like a bank vault. The following sections explain Coinsquare’s common login features and best practices for keeping your account secure.
2. Typical login flow (what to expect)
2.1 Visit the official site or app
Always use the official Coinsquare domain or official mobile app to sign in. Bookmark the exact URL and never follow login links from unsolicited messages.
2.2 Username / email and password
Enter the email address you registered with and your secure password. Use a long, unique passphrase (12+ characters) stored in a reputable password manager rather than reusing passwords.
2.3 Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Enable 2FA as a mandatory extra layer — Coinsquare supports 2FA options such as SMS (default) and authenticator apps; authenticator apps (TOTP) are generally stronger than SMS. If available, prefer an authenticator app or hardware security key. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
3. Security features and recommendations
3.1 Strong, unique passwords
Use a password manager to generate and store a unique password per account. Avoid predictable patterns and passphrases based on public info.
3.2 Protect your email
Your account recovery is tied to your email. Secure that mailbox with 2FA and a strong password — attackers often compromise email to take over accounts.
3.3 Recognize phishing and malicious links
Phishing attempts mimic official emails. Verify sender domains, do not click unexpected attachments, and do not approve login requests you didn’t initiate.
3.4 Device and session hygiene
Sign out of shared devices, keep your OS and browser updated, use antivirus where appropriate, and review active sessions from your account settings regularly.
3.4.1 Use a dedicated device for high-value operations
If you frequently move large amounts, consider using a dedicated, well-secured device or hardware wallet workflows where supported.
3.5 Monitoring and alerts
Enable account notifications and check the account activity feed frequently. If you see unknown activity, contact support immediately. Coinsquare maintains a status page where you can check system availability. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

4.1 Proof and verification
Be prepared to provide identity verification, transaction history, and any requested documentation. Never share your full password, 2FA codes, or private keys in support requests.
