Overview
Bybit is a cryptocurrency derivatives and spot trading platform. This guide explains how to sign in to Bybit, set up two-factor authentication (2FA), recover your account if you can’t log in, and follow best security practices. Use the official Bybit site for signing in: bybit.com.
How to Sign In (Step-by-step)
- Open the official Bybit website: https://www.bybit.com or launch the Bybit mobile app.
- Click Log In at the top-right corner.
- Enter the email address or mobile number associated with your account and enter your password.
- If prompted, complete CAPTCHA verification and approve 2FA (if already enabled).
- After successful verification you will be redirected to your Bybit dashboard.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
2FA greatly improves account security. Bybit supports authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy) and SMS-based 2FA. For best security use an authenticator app and keep backup codes in a safe place.
- Go to Account & Security > 2FA.
- Choose an authenticator app, scan the QR code, and save the backup key offline.
- Enter the 6-digit code from your app to confirm.
Troubleshooting Login Issues
If you can’t log in, try these steps:
- Verify you’re on the official Bybit domain and not a phishing page.
- Reset your password using the Forgot password link on the login page.
- Clear your browser cache or try a private/incognito window.
- Disable VPN/proxy temporarily—some security checks block certain IPs.
- If 2FA codes are not accepted, check your device time settings (time-based codes require accurate time).
If none of the above work, contact Bybit support via the official help center: support.bybit.com.
Account Recovery
Account recovery steps depend on your account settings. Typical paths include password reset (email) or completing identity verification. If 2FA device is lost, Bybit will usually require identity verification documents and a ticket submission through the support center. Keep all account-related emails and verification documents handy to speed up recovery.
Security Best Practices
- Use a strong, unique password and a password manager.
- Enable 2FA with an authenticator app and store backup codes securely.
- Whitelist withdrawal addresses when supported.
- Never share your login, 2FA codes, or private keys with anyone.
- Monitor account activity and set up email/SMS alerts.
