How to sign up on Bitfinex
1. Firstly, access the Bitfinex platform login page and press the Sign Up button in the top right corner or at the centre of the page.
Important: Since there are fraudulent sites, double-check that you're on the official Bitfinex website: https://www.bitfinex.com/.
2. Then, on the Bitfinex sign-up page, enter a username, an email address and a password that you would link to your account. Choose your country of residence from the dropdown, and add a referral code (if you have one). After that, click Sign up.
Here you will have the option to use a Google Account in order to create a Bitfinex account.
Note: The email address cannot be a previously used email on the Bitfinex platform.
3. Head to the email you have linked to your Bitfinex account to confirm the email address. You can verify it by either inputting the 6-digit One-Time Password (OTP) code, or by clicking the link.
Note: Use the same internet browser to validate the email address to create your account.
4. Your email has now been verified, and in the next step, you must enable Two-Factor Authentication to protect the security of your account.
When you click Next, you will be able to link and verify your authenticator app.
Important: If you log out of this process at this stage, even though your account will be created, you will not be able to access any Bitfinex features until you have completed setting up the Two-Factor Authentication. To complete this step, you can visit How to set up a 2FA at Bitfinex.
5. You did a great job! Now, you should see the notice below when you return to your sign-up page. After that, click Log in to get started with your new account.
