1. Sign-up on YoBit

After submitting the registration request, go to your Inbox and look for the YoBit registration email.

You will be re-directed to the registration page confirming that your email has been established and ready to get authenticated.

Nice work! You have successfully created an account on YoBit. 

 

2. Secure your YoBit account by setting a 2-factor authentication (2FA)

YoBit believes that 2FA improves safety dramatically requesting not only your login and password but also the unique authorization code which is enough to verify and authenticate your account.

What is 2FA?
Two-factor authentication, also known as 2FA, is an extra layer of security or added protection which we refer to as multi-factor authentication. Not only the username and password are required but also a piece of information that only a user possesses. This process is to confirm a user’s claimed identity.

The 2FA process helps lessen the number of identity theft cases and as well as phishing via email. It would be harder for potential intruders to gain access and steal someone’s identity and personal data without that piece of information that only the account owner knows.

In the case of exchanges what the user has are his/her login details such as the username and password. The form of 2FA that a user possesses for this instance is a token or code. The code can be received either through SMS on a user’s mobile phone or via applications like Google Authenticator or Authy.

Check this if you want to learn more about Google Authenticator.

To get started, install the ‘Google Authenticator’ app on your phone. After installing, go back to your YoBit account and click on ‘Settings.’

Scan the QR code using the Google Authenticator app and type in the numbers. Click on the ‘Enable’ button to activate two-factor authentication.

You will see the message confirmation that two-factor authentication has been enabled on your YoBit account.

You can also manage your Letter and Notification settings as well as update your password on the Settings page.

Awesome! Two-factor authentication is now active, and your YoBit account has been verified.

 

3. Funding your YoBit account

Now that we have ensured security on YoBit, it is safe to proceed with funding your account. To do so, click on ‘Wallet’ at the top portion of the page.

You will see the available currencies. To begin adding funds, select your currency and click on the Deposit box with the plus sign.

If you’ve selected bitcoin, copy the address or scan the barcode to send your funds.
