Who should use this guide

Quick Checklist (Before you sign in)

  1. Confirm you are on the official site: check the URL and SSL lock (https://coinsquare.com).
  2. Have your second-factor device ready (authenticator app or security key).
  3. Use a private network — avoid public Wi‑Fi if possible, or use a trusted VPN.
  4. Ensure your browser is up to date and free from suspicious extensions.

Step-by-step Sign In Flow

Use the Remember this device option only on personal devices you control. Never enable on shared or public systems.

Security Settings You Should Enable

Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)

Two-factor authentication is the simplest high-impact step to protect your account. Prefer authenticator apps (TOTP) or hardware security keys (WebAuthn/U2F). SMS is better than nothing but is vulnerable to SIM swap attacks.

Set a strong, unique password

Use a password manager to generate and store a password of 12+ characters, mixing letters, numbers, and symbols. Never reuse passwords across services.

Register recovery methods

Maintain an up-to-date recovery email and phone number. Also, record any recovery codes provided during 2FA setup — store them offline.

Device and session management

Regularly review active sessions from your account security page. Revoke sessions you don't recognize and change your password immediately if you suspect compromise.

Troubleshooting Common Sign-in Issues

Forgotten password

  1. Click Forgot password? on the login page.
  2. Enter your registered email to receive a password reset link.
  3. Follow the link and set a new password; ensure the reset link came via the official email domain and use your password manager to create a secure password.

Not receiving 2FA codes

Login blocked or locked

If your login is temporarily locked, a cooldown period may apply for security reasons. If the lock persists beyond the documented period, contact support at Contact.

How to Recognize Phishing and Fake Sites

Common phishing indicators

Safe checks to perform

  1. Inspect the URL carefully — only proceed if it matches https://coinsquare.com.
  2. Check the SSL certificate by clicking the padlock icon.
  3. Never enter credentials from links in unsolicited emails. Instead, manually type the known URL into your browser.

Enterprise and Admin Considerations

Team sign-in policy

Require hardware-backed 2FA for admin users and implement role-based access controls. Maintain a roster of authorized devices for each admin account and rotate backup codes periodically.

Audit and logging

Enable audit logs for sign-in events and regularly review authentication success/failure patterns. Integrate logs with your SIEM for real-time monitoring if you operate at scale.

Accessibility and Localization

Ensure the login flow is accessible: labels for form fields, ARIA attributes for status messages, and keyboard navigability. Provide translated help text and support articles to match your customer base.

Printer-friendly version

This page is optimized for printing. Use your browser print dialogue and choose "Background graphics" to preserve link color blocks and card shading.

Recovery and Incident Response

Steps if you suspect account compromise

  1. Immediately change your password and revoke active sessions.
  2. Disable automated API keys and create new ones if you use the API.
  3. Contact Coinsquare support and provide relevant timestamps and evidence.

What support may ask for

Example Login HTML Snippet (for internal docs)

<form action="/login" method="post" aria-label="Coinsquare sign in">

Training Script (for support agents)

Greeting

"Hello — thanks for contacting Coinsquare support. I understand you're having difficulty signing in. May I confirm your registered email address?"

Troubleshooting flow

  1. Verify account email and recent activity (read-only).
  2. Ask whether 2FA is enabled and which method is used.
  3. Guide the user through password reset flow if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my Coinsquare credentials on other sites?
