Why Enable 2FA on Bitpanda?
Enabling 2FA means even if someone steals your password, they can’t access your account without a time-based code from your Authenticator App. It adds a critical second layer of defense.
Step-by-Step: How to Add 2FA to Bitpanda
1. Log into your Bitpanda account
Go to bitpanda.com and sign in.
2. Open the security settings
In the top-right corner, click on your profile icon and choose Security from the menu.
3. Find the Two-Factor Authentication section
In the Security tab, scroll down to the Two-Factor Authentication section.
4. Click “Enable Two-Factor Authentication”
You’ll be prompted to set it up using an Authenticator App.
5. Scan the QR Code with your Authenticator App
Open your Authenticator App for Bitpanda, tap the + or Scan QR code option, and point it at the QR code shown on Bitpanda.
6. Enter the 6-digit code
Your app will generate a 6-digit code. Enter this code in Bitpanda to confirm and activate 2FA.
✅ That’s it! You’ve successfully enabled 2FA on Bitpanda.
Final Security Tips
Save your recovery codes securely when setting up 2FA.
Use a trusted Authenticator App—never rely on SMS alone.
You can manage or disable 2FA from the same Security settings menu if needed.
