1. Enable Google Two Factor Authentication

For enhanced security, we highly recommend that you enable Google Two Factor Authentication (2FA) immediately after logging in to your Bybit Kazakhstan account. Here is a guide on how to set up Google 2FA to your Bybit Kazakhstan account.

 

Additionally, it is crucial to enable 2FA for your email accounts. You may refer to the official guides of major email service providers such as Gmail, ProtonMail, iCloud, Hotmail and Outlook and Yahoo Mail on how to enable 2FA for your account(s).

 

 

 

When enabling 2FA verification on your Bybit Kazakhstan account and on your email account(s), please ensure to disable the account synchronization of Google Authenticator for added safety. A detailed guide is available here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Set Up Your Fund Password

To enhance the security of your account, it is recommended that you set a Fund Password, which is different from the login password you set. The Fund Password will be required for security verification and withdrawal requests, thereby safeguarding your funds even if someone gains access to your login credentials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Set Up Your Passkey

A FIDO passkey leveraging biometrics stored on your device ensures secure verification across multiple devices. This passkey enhances security for transactions, adding an additional layer of protection to safeguard your account while ensuring faster and more secure withdrawals. Please refer to this article for more information. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Set Up Secure Transaction Approval 

Secure Transaction Approval is a security feature that allows users to designate a primary device to verify and approve transactions. It adds an extra layer of protection to your account by requiring your confirmation before completing high-risk actions. This helps prevent unauthorized access and gives you greater control over your transactions. Please refer here for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Set Up Anti-phishing Code

Bybit Kazakhstan’s Anti-Phishing Code is a personalized security feature consisting of a unique combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Once enabled, this code will appear in all official emails and text messages from Bybit Kazakhstan, allowing you to easily verify the authenticity of information you receive.

 

 

 

To prevent phishing attempts, Bybit Kazakhstan strongly suggests setting up the Anti-phishing Code via the website or the App. If you have not set up your Anti-Phishing Code, please go to your Account & Security page and follow this guide to get started.

 

 

 

If you have enabled the anti-phishing code for your account, but it is missing or incorrect, the email or SMS may be fraudulent. In such cases, do not click any links or take any action indicated in the message. Instead, please report it to Bybit Kazakhstan by clicking on Report on this page.

6. Enable New Address Withdrawal Lock

Enabling the New Address Withdrawal Lock feature restricts any newly added withdrawal address from being used for a 24-hour period. This provides an additional layer of security and helps prevent unauthorized withdrawals. Please visit here to manage your withdrawal security. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Deactivate Account for Suspicious Activity

If you notice or suspect that your account is at risk of being hacked, you are advised to deactivate your account from the account security page or via the link in the new withdrawal address or new device login notification email.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Use Bybit Kazakhstan Authenticity Check

To ensure the legitimacy of any Bybit Kazakhstan-related domains or sources of information (such as emails, phone numbers, URLs, or social media accounts), kindly utilize the Bybit Kazakhstan Authenticity Check feature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Additional Security Recommendations

a) Secure your account with a strong password: A strong password should consist of at least 8 characters (the more characters, the stronger the password) that are a combination of letters, special characters, and numbers. Passwords are typically case-sensitive, so a strong password should contain letters in both uppercase and lowercase.

 

b) Secure your email account: Create a strong and unique password for your email address that is linked to your Bybit Kazakhstan account. We highly recommend using a unique and strong password for your email inbox and Bybit Kazakhstan account. Please follow the password recommendations mentioned in point (a) above.

 

c) Keep your account details confidential: Do not share your email address or any other personal information related to your account with anyone.

 

d) Avoid unsecured public WiFi: To ensure the security of your trading activities, it is recommended to use a secured wireless connection such as a tethered 4G/LTE mobile connection from your smartphone. Alternatively, you can download our official Bybit Kazakhstan App for trading on the go.

 

e) Log out manually: Remember to log out of your account manually when you’re going to be away from your computer for an extended period of time.

 

To log out your Bybit Kazakhstan account through the app, you can go to your User Center and then click on the Log Out tab. For the website, you can click the profile icon on the top right corner (step 1) and then click on the Logout tab (step 2).

 

 

 

f) Add security measures: Consider adding a login password, security lock, and/or Face ID to your smartphone/desktop/laptop computer to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing your device and the contents within.

 

g) Avoid auto-fill and saved passwords: Do not use the auto-fill function or save passwords on your browser.

 

h) Install anti-virus software: Install a reputable anti-virus system (paid and subscribed versions are highly recommended) on your Desktop. Make a consistent effort to run a deep system scan for potential viruses on your PC on a regular basis.

 

i) Beware of social media fraud: Carefully assess potential fraud from social media community groups or chat rooms. Taking the time to carefully assess the source, sender, and destination page of a link before clicking can help protect you from falling victim to social media fraud.
