2. QR Code login (web & app pairing): Open the KuCoin app → tap Home → Scan icon to scan the QR code shown on web login. Convenient if you have your phone. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
3. Passkeys: Use biometric or device‑PIN / Face ID / fingerprint / device lock instead of password. Strong protection against phishing. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Key Security Features 🔐

• Passkeys: Set up passkeys under Profile → Security → Passkeys. Use them on trusted personal devices. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• Google 2FA / SMS 2FA: Two‑factor authentication to add a layer beyond password. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
• Trading Password: A separate 6‑digit trading password used for withdrawals, trading actions, etc. Always keep it safe. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
• Identity Verification (KYC): Verifying your identity increases withdrawal limits and helps with account recovery. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
• Device and IP monitoring: Recognizing new logins or device changes; KuCoin may send alerts or require verification. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• Account locking after multiple failed attempts: Entering wrong verification or password many times may temporarily lock login for security. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

Step‑by‑Step Login Guide

1. Go to the official KuCoin login page: https://www.kucoin.com/login or use the official mobile app. Always verify the URL. 🔎
2. Select your login method: password or passkey, or QR code. If using passkey, your device’s biometric / PIN will prompt you. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
3. If using password, enter your email or phone, and your password. Ensure password is strong & unique.
4. If prompt appears, enter your 6‑digit Google Authenticator / SMS verification code. Do *not* share this with anyone. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
5. If trading password is required (for withdrawals or trading), enter that code. This is separate from login password. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
6. Once login is successful, review security shield / security settings. Make sure features like passkey, 2FA, and trusted devices are active. 💼

Smart Keys & Keyboard Shortcuts ⌨️

Use Enter to submit, Ctrl + Enter to submit from any input, Esc to clear/reset fields, and Tab to move between fields.

Common Login Issues & Troubleshooting 🔧

• Forgot password? Use the “Forgot Password” link on the login page. Check spam/junk if you don’t receive reset email.
• 2FA codes not working? Ensure phone time is synced if using Google Authenticator; SMS delivery might be delayed or blocked in some regions.
• Passkey not recognized? Make sure you're using a supported browser or OS, and the device is trusted. If needed, remove and re‑register the passkey. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
• Account locked after too many failed attempts? Wait for the cooldown period (usually a few hours) and then try again. Avoid multiple wrong attempts. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
• KYC / Identity Verification Pending? Some features or withdrawals may be restricted until verification is approved. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}

Best Practices to Keep Your KuCoin Account Safe ✅

• Use unique passwords: Different from those used elsewhere. Use a password manager.
• Enable 2FA (Google / SMS) immediately after signup.
• Set up a passkey on your main trusted devices. Store backups if supported. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}
• Keep trading password safe: do not share it. Know that it may be required for withdrawals. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}
• Keep devices and software updated: OS, browser, app — vulnerabilities often come from outdated software.
• Avoid phishing: Don’t click suspicious email links, check the domain carefully, never share private keys or seed phrases.
• Use trusted networks: Avoid public Wi‑Fi when logging in; consider VPN if needed.
• Regularly review account activity: Look for unknown logins, changes to account settings, withdrawal addresses. If you see something, act fast.
