Before you login (prep)
1. Verify official links
Always confirm you are visiting the official domain (shown above). Bookmark the login URL in your browser and access it from that bookmark to avoid phishing websites. Official links in this document point to the platform's root pages for convenience.
2. Secure your device
Use a device with up-to-date software and antivirus. Avoid public or shared Wi-Fi when performing account actions; if you must, use a trusted VPN. Ensure your browser is current, and consider enabling privacy protections or ad-blockers that reduce the risk of injected scripts.
Logging in — safe step-by-step
Step 1: Navigate to the login page
Open the bookmarked link or manually type the official domain into your address bar. Look for the secure padlock and an HTTPS connection. A secure session is basic but essential.
Step 2: Enter username / email
Type your account email. If you’ve forgotten it, use any account-recovery flow the site provides (do not share personally identifying account info in forums).
Step 3: Enter password and use MFA
Use a long, unique password stored in a reputable password manager. After password entry, the platform commonly prompts for multi-factor authentication (MFA). Prefer authenticator apps (TOTP) over SMS for stronger security.
Pro tip
Use a hardware security key (U2F/WebAuthn) if available — it provides phishing-resistant authentication and is recommended for high-value accounts.Managing Bitcoin, Ethereum & other assets
Account dashboard basics
Once logged in, the dashboard shows balances, recent trades, and deposit/withdrawal options. Use the dashboard to confirm holdings, check cost basis (for taxes), and view any available educational material.
Buying and selling
To purchase assets, navigate to the Buy/Sell interface, choose an asset (BTC, ETH, etc.), specify amount, and confirm. Review fees and settlement details before confirming a trade. If using retirement accounts, be mindful of contribution/transfer rules.
Deposits and withdrawals
Deposits often occur via bank transfer (ACH) or by funding an IRA using rollover/transfer forms. Withdrawals follow platform procedures and may require identity verification and processing time. Double-check destination addresses when withdrawing crypto — blockchain transactions are irreversible.
Security & best practices
Keep software and recovery safe
- Use a reputable password manager instead of reusing passwords.
- Enable MFA (authenticator app or hardware key).
- Store recovery phrases and private keys offline in a secure location (never on cloud notes or email).
Watch for phishing and social engineering
No legitimate support agent will request your password or private keys. If an email or call claims to be from support, verify by contacting the official support channel listed on the site.
Troubleshooting common login issues
Forgot password
Use the "Forgot Password" flow on the login page. Check your spam folder for reset emails and ensure you use the exact email address associated with the account.
MFA problems
If your authenticator app is lost or you lose access to your MFA method, follow the platform's official recovery steps — these commonly require identity verification and can take time, so keep recovery options current.
Compliance, fees & reporting
When managing crypto inside retirement accounts, tax reporting and compliance matter. Check the Fees and Terms pages (links above) to understand trading fees, custody fees, and any account minimums. For tax questions, consult a qualified tax professional—crypto tax rules differ by jurisdiction.
Summary & next steps
Logging in and managing crypto on platforms like iTrustCapital combines basic web hygiene with platform-specific steps: verify official links, secure your device and credentials, enable MFA, and carefully confirm transactions. Bookmark official support pages and keep your account recovery details up to date. With these habits, you’ll reduce friction while keeping your holdings safer.
