bitvavo 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

bitvavo.com Supported

bitvavo lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your bitvavo account safe even if your password leaks.

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

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

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

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your bitvavo account

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