Can I use a Bitget authenticator without a phone?

Yes. Despite the name “Google Authenticator”, Bitget says you can use other authenticator apps from reliable developers. They all produce the same standard six-digit codes, and the Authenticator extension generates them in Chrome and reads the QR code straight off the Bitget security page.

How do I move Bitget 2FA to a new phone?

If you kept the backup key, add it to the new app or the extension and the codes carry on. Otherwise go to Security, click “Edit” next to Google Authenticator (“Change” in the app) and answer whether the old authenticator is still available: with it, you verify and scan the new QR code; without it, choose “Unbind Google Authenticator” and complete the other verification steps first. Withdrawals and P2P trading are then disabled for 24 hours.

What if I lose access to my authenticator?

Use the backup key to add the account again, or reset the authenticator on Bitget’s self-service page at bitget.com/modifyverification. Keeping the extension’s automatic backups on means a reinstall does not send you there.

Is 2FA required for withdrawals on Bitget?

Once Google Authenticator is on, Bitget asks for its code for withdrawals, at login and for sensitive changes. You can turn it off again, but Bitget advises against it. After the authenticator is changed, withdrawals and P2P trading are disabled for 24 hours.

Bitget Authenticator App — Enable Google Authenticator 2FA

On Bitget the authenticator code is asked for at login, for withdrawals and for sensitive changes such as a new password or security setting. Those are the moments when someone with your password could take the account or move your funds out, and a code from your own device stops them at each one.

Turn on Google Authenticator on Bitget

Bitget also sends a six-digit code to your email to finish the setup; it is valid for 10 minutes, so have your inbox open.

Sign in at bitget.com on your computer.
Open the “Security” page (bitget.com/account/setting).
Click “Configure” below the Google Authenticator method.
When Bitget shows a QR code and a setup key, leave that page open and add it to the extension as described below.
Enter the six-digit code from the extension, then click “Send”, enter the code Bitget emails you and click “Confirm”.

Bitget’s own instructions

Add Bitget to Authenticator

Install 2FA Authenticator from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to the toolbar, so its icon is one click away.
Leave the Bitget page with the QR code open. Click the Authenticator icon, then “Add Account” → “QR Code” → “Scan QR from screen”.
The account appears in the list with a six-digit code that changes every 30 seconds. Rename it if you like — the name is only for you.
Go back to Bitget and type the current code into the confirmation field. If it is about to expire, wait for the next one.
Bitget confirms that two-factor authentication is on. From now on it will ask for a code when you sign in — click the extension icon and copy it.

No QR code, or it will not scan? Look for the option to enter a key manually on Bitget’s setup screen, copy the key, and add it in the extension with “Add Account” → “Manual” → “Secret Key”.

Save the Bitget backup key

Bitget’s help asks you to save the backup key securely: it is the setup key shown with the QR code, and Bitget calls it essential for recovery if you lose access to your device. Keep it on paper, away from this computer and as private as a password — with it you can add the account to any authenticator again. Without it, a lost authenticator is reset on Bitget’s self-service page (bitget.com/modifyverification).

The code is not accepted?

Most often the QR code changed: the website makes a new one each time its setup page is reloaded or opened again, so the account you added first no longer matches. Start the setup again, add the QR code that is on the screen now and type its code in straight away. Two entries for the same website? Use the newest. Other reasons: why codes are refused.

Typed the key in by hand? Paste it into the TOTP code generator and compare the code with the one in the extension. If they differ, the key was copied wrong — add the account again.
