2025-08-21 01:15:10Secure Transaction Approval is a security feature that allows users to designate a primary device to verify and approve transactions. It adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized activity while offering a more seamless user experience by reducing the need for manual reviews by Customer Support. Here's a simple guide to help you get started.
How Secure Transaction Approval Works
Once activated, you'll set a specific phone as your primary device. All other devices will be treated as secondary. If you initiate a withdrawal or other transaction from a secondary device or from the Bybit website, a verification request will be sent to the Bybit App on your primary device. You can then either approve the transaction or reject it if it looks suspicious.
How to Activate Secure Transaction Approval
Prerequisites
Before activating Secure Transaction Approval, please make sure you have:
1. Completed at least Standard Identity Verification.
2. Enabled Passkey or SMS Authentication.
3. Enabled Email Authentication or Google Two-Factor Authentication.
You can complete these steps from the Bybit website by going to your profile icon → Account → Identity Verification and/or Security.
You can complete these steps from the Bybit App by going to your profile icon → Settings → Identity Verification and/or Security.
If you haven't completed Identity Verification or enabled the required authentication methods, you'll be prompted to do so during setup — just follow the on-screen instructions.
Activation Steps
Secure Transaction Approval can only be activated via the Bybit App. Please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Log in to the Bybit App with your Main Account, tap your profile icon in the top left corner, then tap the settings icon in the top right to access the Settings page.
Step 2: Tap Security and you'll find Secure Transaction Approval in the middle of the page.
Step 3: Tap Activate Now and complete the required security verification.
Once the process is complete, you'll see an Activation successful popup and your phone will be set as your primary device.
Note: If you encounter any verification issues during activation, please refer to the troubleshooting guides below:
How to Initiate a Verification Request From a Secondary Device
Step 1: After setting your primary device, you'll see a Primary Device Verification or Complete approval on your phone message when you try to initiate a transaction from a secondary device or the Bybit website.
Step 2: Tap Confirm to receive a 6-digit verification code on your Bybit App on your secondary device.
Step 3: On your primary device, review the transaction details in the verification request, then tap Approve to confirm or Reject if you don't recognize the transaction.
Step 4: Upon approval on your primary device, enter the 6-digit verification code obtained from the secondary device.
Step 5: A notification with the approval result will be sent to both your primary device and the secondary device used to initiate the transaction. You can also view your approval history by tapping the history icon in the top-right corner.
