Overview — Why login security matters
The login process is the door to your account and holdings. If an attacker gains access, they can withdraw funds, change settings, or sabotage your account. Strong, layered defenses reduce that risk: unique passwords, two-factor authentication (2FA), device & session controls, and vigilance about phishing and social-engineering attacks.
A secure sign-in stack
Think in layers. Use:
- Something you know: a long unique password stored in a password manager.
- Something you have: an authenticator app or hardware security key as 2FA.
- Something you are / environment: device checks, IP recognition, and session expiry.
Practical steps to improve your Coinsquare sign-in
Set a long, random password via a password manager; enable an authenticator app (TOTP); save printed backup codes in a safe place; review active sessions monthly; and enable alerts for new logins and withdrawals. If possible, adopt hardware-backed security keys for the highest level of phishing resistance.
