Yes. BitMEX allows you to bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) for future withdrawals to specific, pre-approved addresses by adding them to your Address Book.
To set up a 2FA-exempt address, you must first confirm the setup using your current 2FA and an email confirmation.
How to Skip 2FA for a Withdrawal Address
To whitelist an address for withdrawals without a 2FA code, please follow these step-by-step instructions:
- Navigate to your Address Book: Log in to your BitMEX account and navigate to your Address Book settings.
- Add a New Address: Enter the destination wallet address and ensure you select the correct matching network.
- Toggle 2FA Requirement: When configuring the address details, switch the Require 2FA toggle to the OFF position.
- Initial Security Verification: To authorize this exemption, you will be prompted to enter a 2FA verification code from your authenticator app.
- Confirm via Email: BitMEX will send a confirmation email to the address associated with your account. You must click the confirmation link in that email to activate the 2FA exemption.
Once the address is saved and confirmed, future withdrawals sent to this specific address will no longer require a 2FA code at the time of the request.
Note: For security reasons, you cannot set up a 2FA-exempt address if you have lost access to your current 2FA authenticator. If you have lost your 2FA, please see What should I do if I lost my 2fa?
