Logging in to Coinsquare is the first, and critical, step to accessing your cryptocurrency holdings. This presentation covers the complete login journey — from entering credentials and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), to recovery options, security best practices, troubleshooting, and enterprise considerations. Use these sections as slides, a help article, or training material.
Users should verify they are on the official Coinsquare domain and SSL-protected page (look for the padlock and https://
in the browser address bar). The login page should display familiar branding and contain clear links to support and legal pages.
Open your browser and go to the Coinsquare login URL. Bookmark it for future access. Avoid logging in from links in unsolicited emails or social media posts.
If 2FA is enabled, you'll be asked for a second factor. Coinsquare supports authenticator apps (TOTP) and hardware security keys. Authenticator apps generate a 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds.
After successful 2FA, you may be offered to mark the device as trusted for a limited period. Use trusted-device settings only on personal devices.
Go to Account > Security, select your preferred method, scan the QR code (for an authenticator app) and save any backup codes provided. Store backup codes offline in a secure place.
A strong password is at least 12 characters and includes a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid dictionary words and obvious substitutions. Prefer passphrases — several unrelated words combined — which are easier to remember and harder to crack.
Password managers generate and store complex passwords per site. They also help avoid password reuse — one of the biggest security failures on the web. Popular password managers include 1Password, Bitwarden, and LastPass.
Use the "Forgot password" link on the login page. You will receive a time-limited reset link at your registered email. If you don’t receive the email, check spam and then contact support.
If you lose your authenticator device or hardware key, use the stored backup codes or follow the Coinsquare recovery process (which may require identity verification). Keep recovery information up to date.
Never enter credentials after clicking an email link. Instead, open your browser and navigate to your bookmarked Coinsquare login. Report suspicious messages to support and delete them.
Request a new password reset. Reset links are time-limited for security — request only when you are ready to complete the process.
Temporary lockouts are standard to prevent brute-force attacks. Wait the required cool-down or contact support for assistance and to verify your identity.
Use a hardware key that supports WebAuthn for passwordless or second-factor sign-ins. Hardware keys are resistant to phishing and are the recommended option for custodial accounts with significant balances.
Consider using separate accounts for trading and long-term custody. Keep only what you actively trade on the exchange and move long-term holdings to cold storage (hardware wallets) under your control.
For team accounts, implement role-based permissions. Not every user needs withdrawal or admin rights. Reduce risk by granting the minimum necessary access.
Enable audit logs and monitor sessions for anomalous access patterns. Define procedures for rapid response if suspicious activity occurs.
Design forms with labels, sufficient contrast, ARIA attributes, and keyboard navigation. Make error messages descriptive and action-oriented.
Support password managers, provide a clear 2FA setup flow, and offer contextual help links to Forgot password documentation during the login process.
Display links to Terms of Service and Privacy Policy on the login page. Clearly explain how personal data is used in authentication and recovery workflows.
For KYC/AML flows, some regions may require additional identity verification during login or account actions. Provide transparent messaging if further verification is required.
Below is a minimal accessible login form snippet you can adapt. This is a front-end example only; always handle authentication securely on the server.
<form action="/session" method="POST" aria-labelledby="login-heading">
<h3 id="login-heading">Sign in</h3>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input id="email" name="email" type="email" required />
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input id="password" name="password" type="password" autocomplete="current-password" required />
<button type="submit">Sign in</button>
</form>

Navigate to login → enter credentials → complete 2FA → confirm trusted device.
Use strong passwords, enable 2FA, use hardware keys for high-value accounts, and never share credentials.
