In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency trading, safeguarding your assets is Tapbit’s highest priority. We are committed to providing a secure and intuitive trading platform, equipped with powerful features designed to prevent unauthorized access to your account. This guide walks you through enhancing your account security by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)—an essential step to protecting your digital wealth. By following these recommended practices, you can trade with greater confidence and peace of mind.
Account security
A secure account is the cornerstone of a positive and successful trading journey. At Tapbit, we believe that powerful security should be accessible to everyone. This section outlines the essential measures you can take to fortify your account against potential threats. Without enabling additional security features, your Tapbit account will be classified as having a basic security level, and you will receive prompts to complete the recommended security settings for optimal protection.
What is two-factor authentication?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a critical security enhancement that adds an extra layer of defense to your account beyond just your password. It requires two different forms of identification to verify your identity—typically something you know (your password) and something you have (a unique code from an authenticator app or email sent to you). This ensures that even if your password is compromised, your account remains secure, as an attacker would also need access to your second-factor device.

STEP 4: Link Your Authenticator App

STEP 5: Use The Code
Upon successful binding, the Google Authenticator app will display Tapbit option, along with the binding date and the email address associated with your Tapbit account. The blue dot visible here serves as a timer indicator, showing the remaining time until the current one-time password (OTP) expires and a new one is generated.
Then, return to the Tapbit binding page where you will need to enter your login password, along with the verification codes from your email/SMS and Google Authenticator. Once all required information is entered, click the [Submit] button to finalize the binding.
