Login & Registration
Account registration / opening
Start on the broker's official site (use the link above). Locate the account or sign-up area—often labelled 'Sign up', 'Register' or 'Open Account'—and choose the account type you want. Typical required fields are full name, email address and a password; you will also select your base currency and account type where prompted. Follow the on-screen flow until you reach the document upload or verification step.
Most regulated brokers require identity and address verification (KYC). Prepare a photo ID (passport or national ID) and a proof of address (recent utility bill or bank statement). Upload these documents through the secure verification area of the client portal. After submission, wait for verification confirmation by email or via the client area. Confirm the exact registration steps, required documents and any minimum-deposit rules on the official site before funding an account.
- Open the official site and choose Register/Sign up.
- Select an account type and enter your personal details and email.
- Create a strong password and accept any terms and disclosures.
- Upload ID and proof of address when prompted and complete KYC.
- Wait for verification confirmation before funding or trading.
How to log in
To sign in on the website, click the 'Log in' or 'Client Portal' link on the broker's homepage, then enter your registered email and password. After successful entry you will land in the client area where you can manage funds, verification and trading platforms.
On mobile, you can either use the mobile web browser and follow the same steps, or sign in through any official mobile app the broker provides. If you use a third-party trading platform provided by the broker, you will usually sign into that platform using credentials or server details supplied in your client area. Always download mobile apps only from official app stores or links on the broker's website.
- Website: click Log in → enter email and password → access client area.
- Mobile web: open broker site on mobile browser and use Log in.
- Mobile app: install only from official sources and sign in with your account credentials.
Forgot password / account recovery
If you forget your password, use the 'Forgot password' or 'Reset password' link on the login page. You will normally be asked to supply your registered email address; the broker will send a reset link or temporary code to that email. Follow the link to create a new password, then sign in with the new credentials.
If you do not receive the reset email, check your spam or junk folder, ensure you are using the registered email, and allow a short processing time. For further issues—for example if you no longer have access to the registered email—the broker's support team can guide you through identity verification steps to regain account access.
Two-factor authentication & login security
Many brokers offer optional two-factor authentication (2FA) to add a second verification step at login. If the broker offers 2FA, preferred methods include an authenticator app (TOTP) or SMS. Enabling 2FA where available significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
Adopt safe-login habits: use a unique, strong password; do not reuse passwords across services; store credentials in a reputable password manager; and avoid saving passwords on shared or public devices. Be cautious of unsolicited emails or links asking for account credentials.
To avoid phishing, always check the browser address bar for the official domain (use the official website link above). Do not follow login links supplied in emails unless you have verified the sender. If an email or message requests sensitive information, contact support directly through the broker's official contact page before responding.
Common login problems & troubleshooting
Wrong credentials: confirm you are using the registered email and the correct password. Use the password reset flow if unsure. Locked account: multiple failed attempts or unusual activity can temporarily lock access—use the broker’s account recovery or contact support to unlock.
Verification pending: some accounts restrict trading until KYC is approved. If verification is pending, check your client portal for requested documents and re-upload if necessary. Region or access issues: some services are restricted by jurisdiction. If you cannot create or access an account from your country, contact support to confirm permitted regions.
Connectivity, browser or device issues: clear cache and cookies, try a different browser or device, disable VPNs or proxies that may block access, and ensure the browser is up to date. If a third-party trading platform is used, verify server names and credentials in your client area.
- Use password reset for forgotten passwords.
- Check pending verification documents if account features are limited.
- Clear browser cache or try another browser for loading issues.
- Disable VPNs and confirm your country is supported.
Getting login/account support
Use the broker's official support channels listed on the website contact page for account help. Focus Markets provides international support via Live Chat, email and phone on their support pages; consult the official contact area for local numbers and regional support hours. If a contact number is required, take it from the broker's official contact page—this profile does not include a direct phone number.
Before calling or messaging support, have your account details and any relevant documentation ready (account ID, screenshots of errors, copies of verification documents). For security, do not share your password in support requests; support teams will ask to verify identity through safer means.

FOCUS Markets Review
Kong Bonuses were deducted for no reason, and it made things difficult for various reasons. I asked for the evidence, but the platform did not provide. I demand compensation.
Kong Markets. Focus Markets blocked my account in April and refused to pay back money. Then they promised to get someone to contact, but no one actually got in touch. I haven't heard anything from Focus Markets for over a month since June.
Are EightCap, placeatrade and FOCUS MARKETS the same platform? Just cancel user's account FOCUS MARKETS does not have qualifications in mainland China and should not conduct business in mainland China, but the application can be passed. Ask for a warning.
