Still having trouble?
Check : Approve your Sign In on the same device you're using to Sign In
CoinJar uses data known as cookies, which are stored in your browser, to track where you’re signing in from. If your browser is set to block cookies or regularly clears cached information, you might encounter some issues. Typically, browsers don’t do this by default.
This also means that if you start signing in with one browser, you’ll need to approve the sign-in and then return to that same browser to continue. If you switch browsers or devices during this process, you’ll receive a new sign-in approval email, which might feel a bit confusing.
Check : Private browsing mode
If your browser is set to 'private' or 'incognito' mode, CoinJar won't be able to store data, which may cause your sign-in approval to fail. This happens because CoinJar sees each attempt as coming from a new browser.
To resolve this, please turn off private browsing mode and try signing in again.
Check : Web view / "popup" browser window
Depending on your email app, clicking the orange 'Approve this sign in' button might open a separate popup browser window. This could cause your sign-in approval to fail, as this new window may not have the same cached data as your main browser. On iOS, this issue can depend on whether the email app developer has enabled this feature.
If this happens, you can right-click or press and hold the orange 'Approve this sign in' button in the email to copy the approval link. Then, return to the original browser you were using to sign in and paste the link directly into the URL bar to complete the process.
3. Authenticate with Enhanced Security
If you have Enhanced Security enabled on your CoinJar, you’ll need to authenticate using one of your Enhanced Security methods. You also have the option to select 'Remember this browser for 2 weeks,' which will let you sign in on this device or browser without needing to authenticate again for the next 14 days.
If your Enhanced Security authenticator is not providing a correct code
Please refer to our article Troubleshooting Enhanced Security for tips on how to resolve issues related to Enhanced Security codes.
If you're prompted for an authenticator you cannot access
If you have at least one of your Enhanced Security authenticators available, you can select 'More options' to choose from your active authenticators and sign in. After you’re signed in, you can go to your CoinJar settings under 'More' to remove any inactive authenticators.
If you’re no longer able to provide codes from any of your Enhanced Security authenticators, you’ll need to submit a new Enhanced Security Removal Request to remove Enhanced Security from your CoinJar.
For more details, please refer to our Knowledge Base articles: "Securing Your CoinJar with Enhanced Security" and "Troubleshooting Enhanced Security."
If the CoinJar website will not load

Please try disabling any interfering browser plugins or adding CoinJar to the plugin's whitelist. Using an alternative web browser or device may also allow you to sign in if this is the case.
