CoinSmart® Browser Settings & Privacy — Login Optimization (Unofficial)

Independent best practices for adjusting browser settings and extensions to reduce risk during sign-ins and prevent leakage of credentials.

A secure login depends on both the service and the environment where you type your credentials. This guidance focuses on browser hardening that improves login safety: extension hygiene, cookie policy, site isolation, and private browsing. Small configuration changes significantly reduce the attack surface.

Extensions and plugins

Audit your installed browser extensions and remove anything unnecessary. Some extensions can read page content and capture form data. Keep only trusted, actively-maintained extensions from reputable developers. Consider creating a browser profile dedicated exclusively to financial sites.

Cookie and cache hygiene

Configure your browser to clear cookies and local storage when closing untrusted profiles. Use site exceptions instead of global allowances. Avoid third-party cookies where possible and leverage privacy options available in modern browsers to restrict tracking.

Site identity & HTTPS

Always verify that the login page uses HTTPS and shows a valid certificate (click the padlock). Beware of lookalike domains and tiny misspellings — attackers exploit user inattention. Consider using DNS-based protections or browser security extensions that highlight verified domains.

Incognito and dedicated profiles

Use private (incognito) windows for one-off sessions, but for repeated use create a dedicated profile with stored credentials in a trusted password manager. Incognito prevents cookie persistence but does not isolate extensions and credentials across profiles.

These browser-level practices, combined with good account hygiene, form a resilient setup for safe sign-ins. Small steps like restricting extensions and checking TLS certificates are easy but powerful.
