Bitaroo gives you several ways to protect your account and sign in. You will find them under Account → Security on the web platform, and under Account → Security in the Bitaroo Express app.
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication, shown as Enhanced Security in Bitaroo, adds a second step on top of your password when you sign in. We strongly recommend turning it on. Toggle it on under Account → Security.
Passkeys (web platform)
A passkey lets you sign in with your fingerprint, face, or a security key instead of typing a 2FA code. On the web platform, go to Account → Security → Passkeys and select Add passkey, then follow the prompt on your device. You can add more than one, give each a nickname, and remove any you no longer use.
PIN and biometric unlock (Bitaroo Express app)
In the app you can enable a PIN or biometric unlock (fingerprint or Face ID) for quick, secure access. Go to Account → Security and turn on PIN Login and/or Biometric Login. Biometric unlock appears only if your device supports it.
Your password
You can change your password at any time under Account → Security. For your security, bitcoin withdrawals are blocked for 24 hours after a password change.
Automatic logout (web platform)
On the web platform you can have Bitaroo log you out automatically after a period of inactivity: 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 4 hours. Set it under Account → Security → Auto logout.
Restricting withdrawals
You can also place limits on withdrawals themselves: approve the internet connections they are allowed from, and cap how much can be withdrawn in any 24 hours. Changes that tighten your account apply straight away, while changes that loosen it wait 48 hours. See Restricting withdrawals from your account.
