The secret key is used when setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) in order to connect your Bit Trade account to the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device. During the initial set-up of 2FA, your account is connected to the Google Authenticator app when you scan a QR code or enter a secret key available in your Bit Trade account.

\n\n

When turning on 2FA for your Bit Trade account, you will be asked to save a secret key, which will be displayed in a special field on the “Security Settings” page in the “My Profile” section. If you change or lose your device, this secret key will be required to connect your Bit Trade account to the Google Authenticator app on each new device.

\n\n

Keep your secret key in a safe place and do not give it to third parties. If you lose your secret key and do not have access to Google Authenticator, you will have to turn off 2FA for your Bit Trade account.

Temporary password is a six-unit set of digits and characters, which the User receives by SMS or Email when restoring access to his/her Bit Trade account. The temporary password is valid for 24 hours after sending. Within this period, you must change it to a permanent password.
