    One alternative method to securely sign in to a cryptocurrency app without using a mobile app is to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) through email. This method involves receiving a unique code via email that you need to enter during the login process. It adds an extra layer of security to your account and ensures that only you can access it. However, make sure to use a strong and unique password for your email account to prevent unauthorized access.

    Another option is to use a hardware wallet for authentication. Hardware wallets are physical devices that store your private keys offline, providing an extra layer of security. You can connect the hardware wallet to your computer or device and use it to sign in to your cryptocurrency app securely. This method eliminates the need for a mobile app and reduces the risk of online attacks or malware compromising your authentication process.
