Bybit Login — Quick Guide to Signing In & Account Security

Simple, secure instructions to access your Bybit account, enable 2FA, recover access, and solve common login issues.

Overview

Bybit is a cryptocurrency exchange that requires a secure login to trade, deposit, and manage assets. Your Bybit login typically uses an email address or mobile number plus a password. For enhanced protection, Bybit supports two-factor authentication (2FA) and optional anti-phishing measures. Always ensure you're on the official site before entering credentials (official site: bybit.com).

How to Sign In (Step-by-Step)

Open the official Bybit website or mobile app.
Click "Log In" (top-right) and choose Email or Mobile login.
Enter your registered email address or phone number and your password.
If prompted, complete the CAPTCHA or verification step.
Approve the login with your 2FA app (if enabled) or SMS code.

Tip: Use a strong, unique password and a reliable password manager to store it securely.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2FA adds an extra layer of security. Bybit supports authenticator apps (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy) and SMS 2FA. Authenticator apps are preferred because they are not tied to your SIM card.

To enable: go to Account & Security > 2FA in your account settings.
Scan the QR code with your authenticator app and save backup codes in a secure place.
Never share your 2FA backup codes or recovery keys with anyone.

Troubleshooting Login Issues

Forgot password: Use the "Forgot password" link to request a reset link via email or SMS.
2FA not working: Check clock sync on your phone, reinstall the authenticator app, or use backup codes.
Can't receive SMS codes: Ensure your mobile network is working and that SMS number is correct; consider switching to app-based 2FA.
Account locked: Temporary lockouts can occur after many failed attempts—follow on-screen instructions or contact Bybit support.

Account Recovery

If you lose access to your email, phone, or 2FA, start the official account recovery process immediately. Typical recovery steps include identity verification, KYC documents, and answering account security questions. Only engage with Bybit's official support channels—avoid sharing credentials or identity documents on social platforms.

Security Best Practices

Enable 2FA and anti-phishing codes.
Use hardware wallets for large holdings.
Verify the URL before logging in (look for HTTPS and correct domain).
Avoid public Wi-Fi when accessing your account; use a VPN if necessary.
Keep software (OS, browser, authenticator app) up to date.

FAQ

Q: I forgot my password — what now?

A: Click "Forgot password" on the login page, follow the emailed link, and set a new strong password. If you cannot access your recovery email, use the account recovery workflow.

Q: Is SMS 2FA secure?

A: SMS 2FA is better than nothing but vulnerable to SIM swapping. Use an authenticator app for stronger protection.
