Official NDAX sign-in process
Always sign in through NDAX’s official domain (ndax.io/signin) or the verified mobile app. Enter your registered email and password, then complete any additional verification steps—NDAX may require two-factor authentication (2FA) for withdrawals, API access, or sensitive settings. If your account is linked to corporate or institutional features, follow your organization's SSO or admin procedures. Never enter credentials on pages you reached via unsolicited emails or social messages.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) & account protection
NDAX strongly encourages enabling 2FA. Use an authenticator app (TOTP) such as Google Authenticator or Authy for time-based codes, or prefer hardware security keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn, YubiKey) where available. SMS-based codes are less secure due to SIM swap risks and should be a fallback only. Save recovery codes securely when you set up 2FA—these allow account recovery if your device is lost. Regularly review authorized devices and revoke sessions you don’t recognize.
Password hygiene and account setup
Create a strong, unique password for NDAX. Aim for a passphrase or randomized string of 12+ characters and store it in a reputable password manager. Avoid reusing passwords across exchanges and financial services. When registering, complete KYC verification steps promptly and use secure devices during the process—do not upload sensitive documents over public Wi‑Fi. NDAX’s verification process is part of regulatory compliance and helps protect both your account and the broader platform.
Mobile login & app security
NDAX provides a mobile app for iOS and Android—download only from the official app stores or the NDAX site. Mobile biometric unlock (Face ID / Touch ID / fingerprint) adds convenience and security; enable it only on trusted devices. Keep the mobile app updated to receive security patches. Avoid installing apps from unknown sources and restrict app permissions to the minimum necessary.
API keys & programmatic access
NDAX supports API credentials for programmatic trading and integrations. Treat API keys like passwords: store them securely, restrict IP addresses where possible, set minimal permissions (read-only vs trading), and rotate keys periodically. Monitor API activity and revoke any keys that show unexpected usage. For institutional users, adopt secure secret management workflows and enforce least-privilege access.
Session management & device control
From your NDAX account settings, periodically review active sessions and connected devices. Sign out sessions you do not recognize and reset your password if suspicious activity occurs. Pair NDAX access with device-level hardening: enable disk encryption, use up-to-date OS versions, and avoid using rooted or jailbroken devices for financial operations.
Phishing awareness & safe browsing
Phishing attempts often mimic exchange UIs and support messages. Always check the URL carefully and confirm TLS (HTTPS) before entering credentials. When you receive an email that looks like NDAX, verify it by navigating to support.ndax.io or your account dashboard rather than clicking the provided links. NDAX will never ask for your password, full 2FA codes, or funds transfer confirmations via unsolicited email—report phishing to NDAX support immediately.
Account recovery & lost access
If you lose access to your account due to a forgotten password or lost 2FA device, begin recovery at the official Help Center (support.ndax.io). NDAX may require identity verification documents to comply with KYC/AML rules—submit documents only through secure, official upload channels. Do not share recovery codes or private keys in public or with third parties.
Privacy & compliance
As a Canadian cryptocurrency exchange, NDAX follows local regulatory and privacy standards. Review the NDAX Privacy Policy to understand what data is collected and how it is processed. Keep an eye on notification settings and consent preferences in your account to manage marketing and operational communications.
Troubleshooting common login issues
Typical login problems include incorrect credentials, time-synced 2FA errors, browser cookies blocking sign-in, or app version mismatches. Helpful steps: clear browser cache, try a private/incognito window, ensure your device time is accurate (crucial for TOTP 2FA), update the mobile app, and try a different network. If problems persist, submit a ticket through NDAX Support with requested diagnostic details—never include passwords or secret codes in support messages.
Business & institutional accounts
NDAX also serves institutional clients with custody, API, and liquidity services. Institutional login flows often include SSO, role-based access, and multi-person approval workflows. If you manage team access, implement separation of duties, require 2FA for all users, and maintain an auditable log of administrative actions. For custody solutions, follow NDAX’s enterprise documentation and consult account managers for best practices.
Best-practices checklist
- Always use NDAX’s official website or app for sign-in.
- Enable 2FA (prefer authenticator apps or hardware keys).
- Use a unique, strong password stored in a password manager.
- Secure API keys and rotate them regularly.
- Monitor active sessions and revoke unfamiliar devices.
- Report phishing attempts to NDAX and authorities if needed.
