iTrustCapital — Secure Sign In Guide
A friendly, colorful walkthrough to help you sign in safely and keep your account secure.
Step-by-step secure sign in
1. Navigate safely. Always go to the official iTrustCapital website or use the official mobile app. Check the browser address bar — look for https:// and the padlock. Avoid clicking login links in emails unless you verified the sender.
2. Use a strong, unique password. Your sign in password should be long (12+ characters), include letters, numbers, and symbols, and be unique — never reuse it across multiple financial sites. A password manager can generate and store this for you securely.
3. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication. Turn on MFA (also called 2FA) in your account settings. Prefer an authenticator app (TOTP) or hardware security key over SMS when possible because they are more resistant to SIM-swap attacks.
Example TOTP setup (typical): 1. Go to Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication. 2. Choose "Authenticator App". 3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.). 4. Enter the 6-digit code to confirm and save your recovery codes offline.
4. Recognize phishing. Phishing emails try to mimic iTrustCapital or other services. Look for misspellings, unusual sender addresses, or pressure to "act now." If an email asks you to sign in, go to the site manually instead of clicking the link. Genuine security messages will never ask for your password in an email.
Security warning: If you receive an unsolicited message asking to confirm funds, transfer, or verify credentials — treat it as suspicious. Contact support directly using the contact method from the official site before taking action.
Device & browser safety
Keep your operating system, browser, and antivirus up to date. Use modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and avoid browser extensions you don’t trust. On shared or public devices, use private/incognito mode and always sign out when finished.
Account recovery & emergency access
Save backup or recovery codes in a secure place (offline safe or encrypted vault). If you lose access to your MFA device, iTrustCapital support typically requires verification information — ensure your account email and phone number are current.
Troubleshooting common sign-in issues
- Forgot password: Use the "Forgot Password" flow on the sign-in page; check spam for reset emails.
- Authenticator codes not accepted: Confirm device time is correct (TOTP relies on accurate clocks).
- Locked out: Contact support and be ready to verify identity and account ownership.
Privacy-minded practices
Limit account sharing and avoid storing recovery codes in plain text on cloud notes. Where possible, opt out of promotional emails and keep security-related communications to an account-specific email that you monitor closely.
Logging out & session hygiene
Always log out of your account when using a shared computer. On personal devices, enable automatic lock screens and consider browser profiles for separation of personal and financial browsing.
