Map which authenticator protects each Bybit balance you hold

Over time, Bybit users often accumulate more than one account, subaccounts for different strategies and several devices with authenticator apps. Each balance is protected by a particular combination of email, second factor and withdrawal settings, and nobody remembers all of them. When a phone is replaced or lost, the gaps appear. An authenticator map is a private page that lists each balance beside the factors and controls protecting it. This guide shows how to build one, which controls to note, how to keep it safe and how to use it when you change devices. It contains no secrets, only a description of the structure.

List the balances

Write down each Bybit account or subaccount you control, a short label describing its purpose and the approximate balance as shown in the app, with the date. Include accounts you rarely use; they are the ones most likely to have outdated protection. The aim is a complete inventory rather than precise figures.

Add the protection beside each

For every balance, note the registered email, the type of second factor, the device holding it and whether the withdrawal whitelist is enabled. Mark any account that still relies on text messages alone, or whose email lacks its own second step. Those are your priorities to fix. Do not write passwords, codes or backup keys on this page.

Use the map when devices change

Before replacing a phone, go through the map and move each authenticator entry to the new device, confirming that you can sign in to every account. Only then remove the old phone from the trusted device lists. Without the map, it is easy to migrate the accounts you use daily and forget a dormant one until it is needed.

Keep it current and private

Store the map at home with other important papers, or in an encrypted file you control, separate from the backup keys. Update it after any change to accounts, devices or controls, and review it every few months. The map does not make accounts safer by itself, but it makes every other safeguard easier to maintain. Ten minutes of upkeep a quarter is enough.

Risk boundary: Bybit App Safety Guide

Digital assets are volatile and derivatives can amplify losses. This website has no login, wallet connection, deposit form or customer-support chat. A referral link only records attribution; it does not guarantee access, pricing, rewards, approval or investment results. Availability can differ by residence, legal entity and product, so no regional access is assumed from language or branding alone.

Scenario checkpoint

• List every Bybit account and subaccount with purpose and date
• Note email, second factor, device and whitelist status for each
• Prioritise accounts relying on text messages or weak email
• Migrate every authenticator entry before retiring an old phone
• Store the map privately and update it after each change
