Mercado Bitcoin 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App

mercadobitcoin.com.br Supported

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

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

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  1. 1

    Download Authenticator App - Novaz

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

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

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Mercado Bitcoin account

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