    Common reasons for not being able to access Google Authenticator

    1) Losing your smartphone

    2) Smartphone malfunction (Failure to turn on, water damage, etc) 

     

     

     

    Solution 1:

    Attempt to locate your Recovery Key Phrase (RKP). If you managed to do so, please refer to this guide on how to rebind using your RKP into your new smartphone's Google Authenticator. 

    • For security reasons, Bybit does not store any account's Recovery Key Phrase
    • A Recovery Key Phrase is presented in either a QR code or a string of alphanumerics. It will only be shown once, which is at the point of binding your Google Authenticator. Refer to the screenshot below.
