RE: 2 Factor Authentication w/ Encrypted Backup and Device Sync - Bye Bye Google Authenticator

in #security • 7 years ago

Thank you for info. When I activated 2FA on Bittrex I forgot to back up the key. Now I depend on Google Authenticator which is bad in so many ways.

    Just disable it arausa, and then add it back on Bittrex...you will get the new code friend...make sure to delete the old data on your phone in the GA interface...then when you scan the new QR code the new password will be saved

      Thank you very much for your advice. Well, not sure what do you mean by deleting old data in the GA interface I'm using iPhone 5, but I'll give it a try to find out.

        Sorry for the late response arausa....what i meant was go to the GA app and delete the exchange you added before by holding your finger on it..it will show you a trash delete button....then press the + to add a new exchange and then scan the new QR code for the 2fa you re established...let me know if that makes sense friend...cheers
