What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Authentication is the method of verifying the identity of a user, process, or device, which is a requirement to allow access.
Google Authenticator provides a six-to-eight digit one-time password which users must provide in addition to their username and password to log into Bitfinex and modify services or security settings.
Enabling Google Authenticator 2FA is a straightforward process and has a significant impact on the security of your Bitfinex account.
But what to do if you have lost access to your Google Authenticator app
First of all, visit setting.bitfinex.com/reset-2fa to reset your 2FA.
Note: If your account total equity is below 10,000 USD equivalent, you qualify for a 2FA self-reset.
More information on the procedure is available at How to reset a 2FA at Bitfinex.
If you still have any questions, please feel free to contact Bitfinex Support.
