How to Enable Anti-Phishing Code on Bybit? Security Setup Guide

What Is an Anti-Phishing Code?

1. An anti-phishing code is a personalized alphanumeric string assigned to a user’s Bybit account to distinguish official communications from fraudulent ones.

2. This code appears at the end of every system email sent by Bybit, including withdrawal confirmations, security alerts, and KYC notifications.

3. It does not appear in SMS or push notifications—only in emails originating from no-reply@bybit.com.

4. The code is bound exclusively to the user’s account and cannot be replicated by phishing sites or spoofed domains.

5. Its presence confirms the message was generated and dispatched through Bybit’s authenticated infrastructure.

Step-by-Step Activation Process

1. Log into your Bybit account via the official website or mobile app using verified credentials and active 2FA.

2. Navigate to the top-right corner on desktop or tap the profile icon in the app, then select “Account & Security”.

3. Locate and click “Anti-Phishing Code” under the “Security Settings” section.

4. Enter a custom 6–10 character combination consisting only of letters and numbers—no spaces, symbols, or repeated patterns.

5. Confirm the input by entering your current Google Authenticator code or SMS verification code.

Email Verification Protocol

1. After activation, trigger a system email by initiating a minor action—such as updating notification preferences or requesting a login history report.

2. Open your registered email inbox and locate the message from no-reply@bybit.com.

3. Scroll to the very bottom of the email body and verify that your exact anti-phishing code appears there.

4. If the code is missing or mismatched, return to the security settings and re-enable the feature after waiting five minutes.

5. Repeat this check for each additional email address linked to your Bybit account, as the code must be set separately per address.

Security Integration with Other Layers

1. The anti-phishing code works independently but synergistically with Google Authenticator—both are required for full protection against credential theft.

2. When combined with device management, it prevents unauthorized access even if session cookies are compromised.

3. It adds a visible authenticity layer during critical operations such as KYC upgrades or withdrawal address changes.

4. Unlike static passwords, the code remains constant per email domain but never transmits over insecure channels like public Wi-Fi or unencrypted browsers.

5. Bybit’s backend systems automatically append the code before dispatching any outbound email, without exposing it in logs or API responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use the same anti-phishing code across multiple exchange accounts?Yes, but doing so undermines its purpose. Each platform generates its own validation logic; reusing codes increases cross-site exposure risk if one service suffers a breach.

Q: Does the anti-phishing code protect me from fake Bybit websites?No—it does not prevent landing on phishing pages. Its sole function is verifying the origin of emails. Always type bybit.com manually and inspect the padlock icon and certificate details before logging in.

Q: What happens if I forget my anti-phishing code?You can view it anytime inside your Bybit security dashboard under “Anti-Phishing Code”. No recovery option exists outside the interface because it is never transmitted via email or SMS.

Q: Is the code case-sensitive?Yes. Bybit treats uppercase and lowercase letters as distinct characters. Entering “Abc123” differs from “abc123” in both generation and verification.
