Bitstamp 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

bitstamp.net Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on Bitstamp to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Bitstamp asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your Bitstamp sign-in with 2FA is essential. Bitstamp secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

2FA methods Bitstamp supports

  • 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 Bitstamp's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to Bitstamp and open your Bitstamp 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 Bitstamp 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 Bitstamp account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Bitstamp account

If you lose access to your authenticator and Bitstamp 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 Bitstamp doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Bitstamp's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
