How can I make my account more secure?

Protecting your CoinGate account is essential to keep your business data and funds safe.
Here are a few key steps you can take to strengthen your account security.


1. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

Activate 2FA to add an extra layer of protection to your login and important actions.
Go to Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication and follow the setup steps.


2. Use a strong, unique password

Choose a long, complex password that includes numbers, symbols, and both uppercase and lowercase letters.
Avoid reusing passwords from other services.

💡 Tip: Consider using a password manager to store and generate secure passwords safely.


3. Keep your email account secure

Your email is the gateway to your CoinGate account.

  • Use 2FA on your email account as well.

  • Never share your login credentials.

  • Be cautious of phishing emails pretending to be CoinGate — we will never ask for your password.


4. Review user access and permissions

If you manage a business account with multiple users, regularly review who has access and what roles they have.
Remove inactive users and limit access only to what’s necessary.


5. Verify website and links before logging in

Always log in through the official website: https://coingate.com or https://accounts.coingate.com.
Avoid clicking suspicious links or attachments — especially from unknown senders.


6. Keep devices and browsers updated

Install software updates regularly, including browser security patches, to protect against vulnerabilities.


🔒 Security reminder:
If you believe your account has been compromised, contact support@coingate.com immediately.
