# Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication

Learn how to enable two-factor authentication in Trybit.

**Two-factor authentication (2FA)** is an extra layer of account protection: even if your password becomes known to a third party, they won't be able to log in to your account or perform a sensitive operation without a code from an authenticator app.

### Which operations require 2FA

* withdrawing funds from your balance (see [Withdrawing Funds](/withdrawals/withdrawal-request.md));
* adding a new saved withdrawal address (see [Saved and Trusted Addresses](/withdrawals/trusted-addresses.md));
* creating and changing auto-withdrawal rules (see [Auto-Withdrawal](/withdrawals/auto-withdrawal.md)).

### How to enable 2FA

1. In your dashboard, open "Settings" → "Security."
2. Enter your account password and click "Enable 2FA."<br>

3. Save the manual-setup backup code somewhere secure — you'll need it if you run into trouble accessing your authenticator app.
4. Scan the QR code in your authenticator app (for example, Google Authenticator).<br>

5. Enter the six-digit code from the app to confirm.

### If the code from the app doesn't work

The most common cause is a time mismatch on your device. In your authenticator app's settings, enable time synchronization (in Google Authenticator, via the sync-with-Google-server setting) and try again.

### If you've lost access to your 2FA device

Contact Trybit support — 2FA cannot be disabled on your own without access to the authenticator app.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.trybit.com/security/2fa.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
