Why Start Here
When the download is fine but login still fails, the missing step is often the pre-login check. Most friction at this stage comes from checking account status, code delivery and device recognition separately instead of as one flow.
Suggested Path
- Decide first whether you are signing in with an existing account or continuing registration inside the app, and do not mix the two paths.
- Check that verification codes arrive reliably and that your current device is recognized as a familiar environment.
- If a new security prompt or device verification appears, read it carefully before sending another code request.
- After your first login, set up 2FA, an anti-phishing code, and notification preferences before moving on to trading or transfers.
Checks Before You Act
- Confirm that the current page is really about account status before mixing in other issues.
- Review whether code delivery is already clearly shown in the current account, device or path.
- If device recognition is still uncertain, do not rush into the next funding or trading action.
- When security prompts conflicts with what the page shows, pause and review the previous step first.
