If you encounter issues with Google Authenticator while using BitTap, follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

1. Ensure Device Time is Synced

Google Authenticator generates codes based on your device’s time. If the device time is incorrect, the code may become invalid.

  • Go to your device’s Date & Time settings and ensure “Set Automatically” or “Sync with Network Time” is enabled.

2. Rebind Google Authenticator

If you have changed devices or the app cannot generate the correct code, rebind Google Authenticator.

  • Use the backup key you saved during the initial setup to rebind the authenticator. If you do not have the backup key, contact BitTap customer support for assistance in resetting Google Authenticator.

3. Restart or Reinstall the App

Sometimes app issues can be resolved by restarting the device or reinstalling Google Authenticator.

  • Uninstall and then reinstall the Google Authenticator app, and use your backup key to rebind your account.

4. Unable to Access Google Authenticator

If you are unable to access Google Authenticator (e.g., due to a lost or damaged device), follow BitTap’s account recovery process to reset two-factor authentication (2FA).

Important Notes:

  • It is recommended to safely store the backup key when setting up Google Authenticator. This key allows you to recover your account in case of device loss or switching phones.
  • If your phone’s time is out of sync or you encounter an authenticator error, resyncing the time can often resolve the issue quickly.
  • If you plan to change devices or uninstall the app, make sure to unbind Google Authenticator from your BitTap account before re-binding it to the new device.

Following these steps should help you resolve most issues with Google Authenticator on BitTap. If the problem persists, reach out to BitTap’s support team for further assistance.
