    Important Information:

    1) It is highly recommended that a copy of your Recovery Key Phrase is stored securely. RKP is needed when you attempt to bind into a new Google Authenticator.

    2) To ensure maximum account and asset security, Bybit urges all traders to have their 2FA binded to their Google Authenticator at all times.

     

     

     

    Step 1: Launch the Bybit App. At the bottom left corner, select Home. Then, Select the ‘profile’ icon from the upper left corner. Select Security.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Step 2: Beside Google Authentication, slide the white circle switch to the right.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Step 3: Key in the email/SMS verification code sent to your email address or mobile number respectively. The app will automatically redirect you to the next page.

     

     

    Note:

    - If you are not able to receive the verification code by email, please consult this article: Troubleshooting: Unable to receive Email verification code.

    - If you are not able to receive the verification code by SMS, please consult this article: Troubleshooting: Unable to receive SMS verification code.

     

     

     

     

     

    Step 4: Download the official Google Authenticator App from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Once you have downloaded it, select Continue to proceed.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Step 5: Write down the Recovery Key Phrase (RKP) and store it securely inside an encrypted cloud server or inside another secured device. Press the Copy key.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Step 6: Launch the Google Authenticator app inside your smartphone or tablet. Select the (+) icon and select enter a setup key.

     

     

     

     

     

    Step 7: Type in any unique name (e.g. Bybit - followed by your registered email address), paste the copied key into the 'key' blank space, and select 'ADD'. A 6-digit code will be generated successfully in your Google Authenticator

     

     

     

     

     

    Step 8: Go back into your Bybit App, and select Next.

     

     

                 

     

     

                                  

    Step 9: Key in the 6-digit code generated in your Google Authenticator and select Confirm.
