Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Complete Guide

Understanding CoinSpot's 2FA

CoinSpot uses 6-digit verification codes for Two-Factor Authentication . This is standard for most authenticator apps like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Authy.

Important: If your authenticator app is showing 8-digit codes instead of 6-digit codes, you are likely using a different type of authenticator token. CoinSpot specifically requires a 6-digit TOTP code .

2FA Issues and Solutions

Scenario 1: You Have SMS 2FA Enabled (Recovery Available)

If you have lost access to your authenticator app but have SMS 2FA enabled, you can recover access immediately :

  1. Go to the CoinSpot login page

  2. Enter your email address and password

  3. Select "Recover my account via SMS" 

  4. A 6-digit code will be sent to the mobile number linked to your account

  5. Enter the SMS code to regain access

Once logged in, reset your 2FA:

  1. Navigate to My Account Menu > Security 

  2. Locate Two Factor Authentication (2FA) > "Turn Off Two Factor Authentication" 

  3. Authorize by entering your 2FA code or requesting an SMS code

  4. Once disabled, set up 2FA again using a fresh QR code

Scenario 2: You Have Your Secret Key Saved

If you have your original Secret Key (provided when you first set up 2FA), you can restore your 2FA on a new device :

  1. Open the Google Authenticator app

  2. Tap the "+" icon > "Enter a setup key" 

  3. Enter an Account Name (e.g., "CoinSpot") 

  4. Paste your saved Secret Key into the "Your key" field 

  5. Tap "Add" to restore your 2FA token 

The Secret Key looks like this: PBBXYXDXIXBXWXSXIX7XQXTXJXZXGX3X 

Scenario 3: You Have Lost Both 2FA and SMS Access (Full Account Recovery)

If you cannot access your authenticator app and your mobile number has changed or SMS 2FA is disabled, you will need to go through CoinSpot's Account Recovery process .

Step-by-Step Recovery Process:

  1. Visit the Account Recovery page here 

  2. Select "Recover My Account" 

  3. Choose "I have lost my 2FA Code" 

  4. Enter your Email Address 

  5. Click "Submit Reset 2FA Request" 

Submit an Authorization Photo :

You will need to take and upload a photo holding:

  • Your photo ID (driver's licence or passport)

  • A handwritten statement as shown in the example on the recovery page

Requirements: Include all required details and follow instructions carefully. Incomplete photos and statements will be rejected and must be resubmitted .

After Submission:

  • A CoinSpot team member will review your request

  • You will receive an email confirming when your 2FA has been reset 

  • Once reset, you can set up 2FA again
