Overview: This guide explains how to sign in to your Bybit account safely, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), recover a locked account, and troubleshoot common login problems. Follow the steps below to access your trading dashboard quickly and securely.
How to sign in to Bybit (Web & Mobile)
- Open the official Bybit website in your browser or launch the official Bybit mobile app (iOS / Android).
- Click or tap “Log In” at the top-right corner of the homepage.
- Enter your registered email address or mobile number and then your password.
- If prompted, complete CAPTCHA verification.
- If you have 2FA enabled, input the code from your authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator) or the SMS code sent to your phone.
- After successful authentication you will be redirected to your Bybit dashboard.
Tip: Always confirm you are on the official Bybit domain and using the official app to avoid phishing scams.
Enable & Manage Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
2FA dramatically improves account security. To enable it:
- Go to Account & Security in your Bybit profile settings.
- Choose between Authenticator App or SMS verification (authenticator apps are recommended).
- Follow on-screen instructions to scan the QR code and securely save your backup/recovery codes.
Keep backup codes somewhere safe — they are required if you lose access to your 2FA device.
Common Login Issues & Troubleshooting
- Wrong password: Use the “Forgot password” link to reset via your registered email.
- Not receiving 2FA SMS: Confirm mobile number correctness, check signal, and avoid SMS-blocking apps. Try authenticator app instead.
- Authenticator lost or reset: Use the saved backup codes. If unavailable, begin Bybit’s account recovery process which may require identity verification.
- Account locked: This can happen after repeated failed attempts — wait the cooldown period or contact Bybit support with account details.
Account Recovery — Step-by-step
- On the login page, select “Forgot password” or “Can’t access your account?”
- Enter your registered email or phone number and follow the recovery prompts.
- If prompted, provide identity verification documents (photo ID, selfie, additional info) as required by Bybit.
- After verification, you will receive instructions to reset credentials and restore 2FA access.
Security Best Practices
- Always enable 2FA and store backup codes offline.
- Use a strong, unique password and consider a reputable password manager.
- Verify the site URL before entering credentials; beware of phishing emails and links.
- Keep your device OS and the Bybit app up to date.
FAQ
- What if I don’t receive the password reset email?
- Check spam/junk folders, ensure the correct email, and wait a few minutes. If still not received, contact Bybit support.
- How long does account recovery take?
- It varies depending on required verification; expect from a few hours to several days depending on document checks.
