Log In - NDAX®

Sign in to your NDAX account — secure access to trading, fiat, crypto and account controls.

Overview — Securely Access Your NDAX Account

NDAX (National Digital Asset Exchange) provides a secure platform for buying, selling, and managing cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies. This page is a comprehensive guide to signing in, setting up two-factor authentication, completing KYC (Know Your Customer) checks, troubleshooting access issues, and following best security practices to keep your funds safe.

The login process is intentionally strict: NDAX balances usability with regulatory compliance and security. Expect identity verification, strong password enforcement, two-factor authentication, and device verification steps that together protect your account from unauthorized access.

Quick note: NDAX will never ask you to reveal your full password or two-factor codes via email or phone. Treat any unsolicited requests as phishing attempts.

How to Sign In (Step-by-step)

Follow these steps to sign in to your NDAX account securely.

  1. Open the official NDAX site or app: Type ndax.io manually or use a trusted bookmark. Avoid links from emails or social media unless you verified the sender.
  2. Click “Sign In”: The sign-in button is in the top-right corner on desktop and on the main menu in the mobile app.
  3. Enter your email and password: Use the email you registered with and your account password. NDAX enforces strong password rules; if you haven't updated in a while, consider a rotation.
  4. Complete Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): If 2FA is enabled, you’ll be prompted for a one-time code from your authenticator app or hardware token.
  5. Verify new devices: If you are signing in from a new device, NDAX may send a device verification email — follow the link to confirm it was you.
  6. Access your dashboard: After successful verification, you’ll arrive at your NDAX dashboard with balances, orders, and account controls.

Tip: For faster and safer access, use a hardware security key (U2F/WebAuthn) if NDAX supports it on your account — it eliminates phishing risks by requiring a physical tap on the key to authenticate.

Warning: Never paste your recovery phrases, private keys, or full 2FA backup codes into any website. NDAX will never request those.

Two-Factor Authentication & Account Security

Two-factor authentication adds a critical second layer of defense. NDAX strongly recommends — and may require — 2FA for account actions including sign-in, withdrawals, bank link, and sensitive setting changes.

Supported 2FA methods

  • Authenticator apps (recommended): Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator — these generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).
  • SMS codes: Faster but less secure — vulnerable to SIM-swapping attacks.
  • Hardware tokens (U2F/WebAuthn): Most secure — physical key required to authenticate.

Setting up 2FA (authenticator app)

  1. Navigate to Account → Security → Two-Factor Authentication.
  2. Choose “Authenticator app” and scan the QR code with your app.
  3. Write down or securely store backup codes provided by NDAX — these help if you lose access to your authenticator.
  4. Enter a test 2FA code to confirm setup.

Important: Keep backup codes offline (paper or metal backup). Storing them in cloud notes dramatically increases risk.

KYC (Know Your Customer) & Identity Verification

NDAX must comply with regulatory requirements. Completing KYC is necessary to unlock certain account features — deposits, trading, and fiat withdrawals. The KYC process verifies your identity and may include:

  • Uploading a government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license)
  • Selfie or live face match to confirm liveness
  • Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement)
  • Additional forms or source-of-funds questions for large or institutional accounts

Processing times vary. Most individual KYC checks complete within a few hours to two business days unless additional review is required.

Pro tip: Use high-quality photos and ensure your name and address match across documents to reduce review time.

Device & Session Management — Keep Your Sessions Clean

Review active sessions and devices in Account → Devices. Remove any device you don’t recognize. NDAX will log you out of old sessions periodically; you can also manually end sessions to force re-login across all devices.

Auto-logout & session timeouts

NDAX sets automatic session timeouts for inactivity and requires re-authentication for withdrawal and high-risk actions. Treat session timeouts as a security feature — they limit the window for an attacker on an unlocked device.

Troubleshooting — Can’t Log In?

If you experience sign-in issues, follow this checklist before contacting support:

  • Confirm you’re on the official NDAX domain (ndax.io) and not a phishing site.
  • Check your password: try a copy-paste from your password manager. Ensure caps lock is off.
  • If 2FA fails, ensure device time is synced (authenticator apps rely on accurate device time).
  • Try an alternate browser or clear browser cache & cookies.
  • If email verification is pending, check your spam folder for NDAX emails and verify the device link.
  • For persistent problems, use password reset or account recovery as outlined below.

Reset password

Use the “Forgot password” link on the sign-in page. NDAX will send a password reset email to your registered address. For safety, email resets expire — act quickly.

Lost 2FA device

If you lose access to your 2FA app or hardware key, use NDAX’s account recovery process. This typically involves identity verification (KYC), confirming recent transactions, and may take several business days to ensure fraud prevention.

Linking Bank Accounts & Fiat Withdrawals

To fund your NDAX account or withdraw fiat, link a verified bank account. The linking process usually requires small micro-deposits to confirm ownership. Withdrawals to new banks may have longer holding periods until verification completes.

Note: Always withdraw fiat to the bank account you originally linked to avoid additional verification delays.

Developers & API Access

NDAX may offer API access for programmatic trading. API keys are powerful credentials — treat them like passwords. Best practices:

  • Generate API keys with permission scoping (read-only vs trading vs withdrawals).
  • Restrict keys by IP where supported.
  • Rotate and revoke keys regularly and after any suspicion of compromise.

Privacy & Data Handling

NDAX collects personal data for compliance and security. Review NDAX’s privacy policy in Account → Legal to understand what is collected, how it’s used, and your rights regarding data. NDAX uses industry-standard encryption to protect data in transit and at rest.

FAQ — Common Questions

Q: What if I forget the email I used to register?

A: Check saved passwords in your browser or password manager. If you cannot find it, contact NDAX support and be prepared to complete identity verification to reclaim access.

Q: How quickly can I withdraw funds after KYC?

A: Once verified, withdrawals typically process according to bank and blockchain network times. Fiat withdrawals may take 1–5 business days depending on banking rails and destination country.

Q: Are there login rate limits?

A: Yes — repeated failed attempts trigger throttling and may temporarily lock your account to prevent brute-force attacks.

Q: Can NDAX disable my account?

A: NDAX can limit or suspend accounts for compliance reasons, security concerns, or suspicious activity. If this happens, you will receive instructions from support on how to proceed.

Best Practices Checklist

  • Use a strong unique password and a reputable password manager.
  • Enable authenticator-based 2FA and save backup codes offline.
  • Use hardware security keys where available.
  • Verify NDAX emails and never click on links from unknown senders.
  • Keep firmware and OS updated; avoid public or shared Wi-Fi for financial actions.
  • Regularly review your active sessions and revoke any unrecognized devices.
  • Limit API and third-party access; review connected apps frequently.

Conclusion

Signing in to NDAX is a secure process when you follow recommended security practices. Strong passwords, 2FA, careful device management, and timely KYC are key to keeping your account safe. If you ever suspect unauthorized access, act immediately: change passwords, revoke API keys and sessions, and contact NDAX support with relevant evidence.

NDAX aims to provide both a safe environment and a user-friendly experience for crypto trading. Treat your login credentials and authentication methods as critical financial tools — protect them accordingly.
