How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on PLUBIT Exchange

Main Takeaways

  • Enable 2FA to strengthen your PLUBIT account security.

Secure Your PLUBIT Account with an Extra Layer of Protection

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is one of the most effective ways to protect your PLUBIT Exchange account from unauthorized access. By enabling 2FA, you'll need to enter a verification code from your authentication app each time you log in or perform sensitive account actions.

This guide will walk you through the process of enabling 2FA on your PLUBIT account.


Why Enable Two-Factor Authentication?

Enabling 2FA helps you:

  • Protect your account from unauthorized access
  • Prevent password-related security risks
  • Secure withdrawals and sensitive account actions
  • Add an extra layer of protection to your crypto assets
  • Increase overall account security

Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

  • An active PLUBIT account
  • Your login credentials
  • A smartphone
  • An authenticator app installed, such as:
    • Google Authenticator
    • Microsoft Authenticator
    • Authy

Step 1: Log in to Your PLUBIT Account

Visit the official PLUBIT website and sign in using your registered email address and password.

Once logged in, navigate to your Profile or Security Settings.


Step 2: Open Security Settings

Inside your account settings:

  1. Click Security
  2. Locate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
  3. Click Enable

The system will display a QR Code and a Backup Key.


Step 3: Install an Authenticator App

If you don't already have one, download and install an authenticator app on your mobile device.

Supported apps include:

  • Google Authenticator
  • Microsoft Authenticator
  • Authy

Step 4: Scan the QR Code

Open your authenticator app and:

  1. Tap Add Account
  2. Choose Scan QR Code
  3. Scan the QR Code displayed on PLUBIT

If you're unable to scan the QR code, manually enter the provided Backup Key.


Step 5: Save Your Backup Key

Before continuing, securely save your Backup Key.

This key allows you to restore your 2FA if you lose or replace your phone.

Important:

  • Store it in a safe location.
  • Never share it with anyone.
  • Do not save it in an unsecured place.

Step 6: Enter the Verification Code

Your authenticator app will generate a 6-digit verification code that refreshes every 30 seconds.

Enter the current code into the verification field on PLUBIT.

Then click Confirm.


Step 7: Two-Factor Authentication Enabled

Congratulations!

Your PLUBIT account is now protected with Two-Factor Authentication.

You may be asked to enter a verification code whenever you:

  • Log in
  • Withdraw funds
  • Change security settings
  • Perform sensitive account actions

Best Practices for 2FA Security

For maximum protection:

  • Never share your authentication codes.
  • Keep your Backup Key in a secure place.
  • Use a screen lock on your phone.
  • Keep your authenticator app updated.
  • Enable biometric security on your mobile device if available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I lose my phone?

If you have saved your Backup Key, you can restore your 2FA on a new device. Otherwise, you may need to contact PLUBIT Customer Support for assistance.

Can I use SMS instead of an authenticator app?

Authenticator apps generally provide stronger security than SMS-based verification and are recommended whenever available.

Why is my verification code not working?

Make sure:

  • Your phone's date and time are set to Automatic.
  • You are entering the latest 6-digit code before it expires.
  • The QR code was scanned correctly.
