Using two-factor authentication (Bullish GI)
Bullish uses two-factor authentication (2FA) as an added layer of security which reduces the chances of outside access to your account and protects your personal information.
Bullish requires a password and either WebAuthn or TOTP for two-factor authentication.
You will be prompted to use two-factor authentication when performing privileged actions, such as:
Logging in to the Bullish Web UI
Generating API keys
Registering second factor
Adding a cryptocurrency wallet for withdrawal
Adding a bank account
Depositing/withdrawing cryptocurrency or cash
Changing your password
Changing your security question
TOTP authentication
Time-based one-time password (TOTP) applications, such as Google Authenticator or Authy, generate 6-digit codes that are unique to your account. Other TOTP-compliant authentication apps should also work, but have not been fully tested by the Bullish team. Possible options include:
2FAS
Aegis
Duo
LastPass Authenticator
Microsoft Authenticator
Passkey with (built-in) biometric authentication
Passkey with biometric authenticators are devices, such as laptops and smartphones, which can help access platforms using your fingerprint or face ID.
Important: When you enable biometrics on a passkey, any biometric identifiers stored on that device can be used to log into Bullish. We highly recommend using biometric authentication only if your biometric identifier is the only one stored on the passkey.
External hardware passkey
External hardware passkeys, such as YubiKey®, can be connected to your devices you use to access Bullish through USB, Bluetooth or NFC, (Near-Field Communication). You can use any type of USB passkey as long as they are FIDO2 compliant.
