  At BYDFi, we highly recommend using Google Authenticator for added security on digital currency exchanges. When entering the setup key, ensure that you are in a secure environment and avoid using public Wi-Fi networks. Double-check the setup key for any errors before confirming. It's also a good practice to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for all your digital currency accounts to enhance security. Remember, protecting your assets is of utmost importance in the digital currency space.
