How to Sign in to Your Coinsquare Account (Canada)

A concise, step-by-step guide to signing in, enabling 2FA, troubleshooting common login problems, and keeping your Coinsquare account secure in Canada.

What is Coinsquare?

Coinsquare is a Canadian cryptocurrency exchange that offers trading, custody and payment services for residents across Canada. If you already have an account, this guide will walk you through the standard login flow and help solve common problems so you can access your funds quickly and securely.

Standard Coinsquare Login Steps

Open your browser and go to coinsquare.com.
Click Sign in (usually top-right) and enter the email address linked to your account.
Enter your password. Passwords are case-sensitive — check Caps Lock.
If you enabled two-factor authentication (2FA), enter the code from your authenticator app or SMS.
Click Sign in. You should land in your dashboard; if not, follow the troubleshooting tips below.

Tip: Use a private device and up-to-date browser for best security and compatibility.

Enable or Reset Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2FA adds an important layer of security. To enable it, navigate to Settings > Security once signed in and follow the prompts to link an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy).

If you lose access to your 2FA device, use the account recovery flows provided by Coinsquare — prepare identity documents (government ID, selfie) to verify ownership.

Troubleshooting Login Issues

If you can't sign in, try these steps:

Forgot password: Use the “Forgot password” link on the sign-in page to request a reset email.
No reset email: Check spam/junk folders, and ensure your email provider isn't blocking messages from Coinsquare.
2FA problems: Ensure your device clock is accurate (time drift can invalidate codes). If using SMS, check mobile coverage.
Account locked: Multiple failed attempts can trigger temporary locks — wait a short period and try again or contact support.

If problems persist, contact Coinsquare support and be ready to provide the email tied to the account and proof of identity.

Security Best Practices (Canada-focused)

Use a unique, strong password and a password manager.
Always enable 2FA—prefer authenticator apps over SMS when possible.
Beware of phishing emails: verify sender addresses and never click links that ask for private keys or full passwords.
Keep your operating system and browser updated to reduce the risk from vulnerabilities.
