Bitflyer 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

bitflyer.com Supported

Bitflyer supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your Bitflyer account.

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your Bitflyer sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, Bitflyer also offers SMS text codes and email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

2FA methods Bitflyer supports

  • SMS text message
  • Email code
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  1. 1

    Download Authenticator App - Novaz

    Install Authenticator App - Novaz from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and open it — you'll use it to scan Bitflyer's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to Bitflyer and open your Bitflyer account security settings.

  3. 3

    Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

    Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Bitflyer displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

  5. 5

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your Bitflyer account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

    If Bitflyer shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how Bitflyer recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.

Menu names on Bitflyer can change — the official Bitflyer 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.

How to recover your Bitflyer account

If you lose access to your authenticator and Bitflyer gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes. If Bitflyer doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Bitflyer's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
