Welcome to Ndax: Canada's Secure Digital Asset Exchange
Ndax is registered with FINTRAC and compliant with Canadian securities regulations, making security our absolute priority. The **Ndax Login** is your gateway to safely buying, selling, and holding digital assets. Before you execute your first trade, it’s vital to secure your account and properly authorize the device you are using. This process is simple but mandatory to protect your assets from unauthorized access.
This guide will walk you through the essential steps for a safe start: setting up **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**, managing your authorized devices, and completing the necessary account verification (KYC). Security protocols are built into the platform to ensure a seamless yet protected experience.
Let's secure your account and get your device ready for trading.
1. Secure Login: Setting Up Mandatory 2FA
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is the single most important step after creating your password. Ndax requires a time-based one-time password (TOTP) for login and critical actions.
TOTP (Time-Based) 2FA
Use a dedicated authenticator app (like Google or Authy) to generate a unique, short-lived code that changes every 30 seconds. This code, combined with your password, is required for every login attempt, protecting your account even if your password is compromised. This is **mandatory** for all Ndax users.
Backup Recovery Keys
During 2FA setup, you will be provided with a set of **Recovery Codes**. These are your single point of access if you lose your 2FA device. **Print these codes and store them securely offline** (e.g., in a safe). Ndax staff cannot reset your 2FA without sufficient security checks, making these codes invaluable for self-recovery.
Strong Password Policy
Your password must be unique, complex (including symbols, numbers, and both cases), and never reused on any other site. Ndax uses hashing and salting to protect your credentials, but the strength of your passphrase is your first line of defense. Consider using a reputable password manager for generating and storing this critical piece of information.
Instant Login Notifications
Ndax automatically sends an **email notification** every time your account is successfully logged into, detailing the device type, browser, and approximate location. Always review these alerts. If you receive a login notification for an activity you did not perform, immediately change your password and contact Ndax support.
2. Device Setup: Whitelisting and Session Control
Ndax employs device fingerprinting and optional IP restrictions to recognize and secure your trusted endpoints.
New Device Authorization Process
When you log in from a new computer, phone, or browser, Ndax treats it as an unverified device. The platform will send an **email verification link** to your registered email address. You must click this link to authorize the device before you can proceed with the 2FA code. This prevents attackers from using your password and 2FA code on their own machines without email access.
Active Session Review
After logging in, navigate to the "Security" or "Account Settings" section. Here, you can review all **Active Sessions**—a list of devices currently logged into your account. Always ensure this list only contains devices you recognize. If you see an unfamiliar entry, use the **Revoke/Log Out** feature immediately to terminate that session remotely.
Optional: Withdrawal Address & IP Whitelisting
For maximum protection, you can configure two levels of whitelisting:
- **Withdrawal Addresses:** Only crypto addresses explicitly saved and confirmed on your whitelist can receive funds from your Ndax account.
- **IP Whitelisting (Advanced):** Limit account access (login and trading) only to specific static IP addresses, ideal for professional traders.
3. First Steps: Verification (KYC) and Funding
As a regulated platform, Ndax requires identity verification (Know Your Customer or KYC) before you can trade or deposit substantial amounts.
Instant ID Verification (KYC)
Ndax offers an automated, almost instant identity verification process. You'll need to provide government-issued ID and potentially a live photo capture. Completing KYC is necessary to unlock higher deposit/withdrawal limits and comply with Canadian financial regulations. **Look for the "Verify Identity" prompt after your first login.**
CAD Funding and Crypto Deposits
Once verified, you can fund your account. Ndax specializes in Canadian Dollar (CAD) deposits, typically supporting Interac e-Transfer and wire transfers. For crypto deposits, ensure you use the **correct network and address** for the specific currency (e.g., sending BTC to the BTC address). Always double-check deposit minimums and network fees before sending.
You Are Securely Ready to Trade
By setting up **mandatory 2FA**, securing your password, and authorizing your device, you have successfully completed the most important steps to ensure a secure Ndax experience. Remember to keep your recovery codes safe and periodically check your active session list. Welcome to the Canadian digital asset marketplace!
