Overview
Logging in to your Coinsquare account is the first step to managing your crypto. This guide covers the recommended sign-in steps, how to harden access (2FA, strong passwords), recovery best practices, and a small, accessible HTML login form you can use as a template for presentations or internal demos.
Before you log in: quick checklist
1. Confirm the site or app
Always use Coinsquare's official website or the official app (iOS/Android). Avoid links in unsolicited emails or social media. Use bookmarks for the site you visit regularly.
2. Secure your email
Ensure the email account tied to Coinsquare has its own strong password and 2FA enabled — most account takeovers begin with email compromise.
3. Use an authenticator, not SMS
Where possible, enable an authenticator app (TOTP) for 2-factor authentication rather than SMS. Authenticator codes are significantly more secure against SIM-swap attacks.
Step-by-step: secure sign-in
- Open the official Coinsquare site or app — confirm the URL or app origin.
- Enter your email and password — use a unique, long password (passphrase or generated).
- Complete 2FA — provide the code from your authenticator app or hardware key if configured.
- Check account notifications — review recent activity or security alerts after logging in.
Practical security tips (do this now)
Strong passwords
Use a password manager to create and store a long, unique password per site. Aim for 16+ characters or a memorable passphrase.
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Enable 2FA via an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy). If Coinsquare supports hardware security keys (U2F/FIDO2), prefer those for highest protection.
Phishing awareness
Coins never request your password or full 2FA code in an email. When in doubt, go directly to your bookmarked site and log in there.
Account recovery
Keep account recovery details updated (verified email and phone). Store backup codes or seeds in a secure offline location (e.g., safe or encrypted backup).
HTML login form (presentation/demo snippet)
This is a minimal, accessible demo form — do not use it to collect real credentials on a public server unless you wire proper backend authentication and HTTPS.
<form action="/demo-login" method="POST" autocomplete="on">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="email" name="email" required />
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input id="password" type="password" name="password" required />
<label for="otp">2FA code (optional)</label>
<input id="otp" name="otp" pattern="\\d{6}" />
<button type="submit">Sign in</button>
</form>Recovery & incident response
If you suspect compromise
- Change your Coinsquare password immediately from a secure device.
- Change the password for your email and any linked accounts.
- Contact Coinsquare Support and enable account freeze if available.
Check system status
Before troubleshooting, check Coinsquare's official status page to ensure there are no ongoing outages affecting login or 2FA delivery.
