Setting up a Bitget fund code and knowing when the app will ask for it

Most people secure the front door of their Bitget account and forget the inner one. The fund code, which some versions of the app label fund password, is a separate secret that Bitget asks for when money is about to move: withdrawals, P2P sales and some transfers. If someone gets hold of your login password and even a session on your phone, the fund code is one more thing they need before your balance leaves. It only helps if you set it, keep it different from everything else, and understand exactly when a request for it is expected.

Where to set it in the app

Open the Bitget app, tap the profile icon in the top-left corner and go to Security. Look for Fund code or Fund password and choose Set. You will usually confirm with your email code and your authenticator before the new code is saved. Write down the date you set it. If you cannot find the option, update the app from the App Store or Google Play and check the current article on fund codes in the Bitget help centre, because menu names shift between releases and between app and browser.

Choosing a code that is not a copy of your password

The point of a fund code is that it is different. Do not reuse your Bitget login password, your phone PIN or your banking PIN. A random string from your password manager is ideal, stored in a separate entry from the login so that a glance at one does not reveal the other. Avoid birthdays and postcodes; Australian addresses and dates of birth are easy to find in data breaches. If several people in your household trade, make sure nobody shares a fund code across accounts, even within the family.

When a prompt is expected and when it is not

Bitget should ask for the fund code inside the app or the browser session you started yourself, at the moment you confirm a withdrawal, release crypto in a P2P order or perform a similar action that moves funds. It should never come up in an email, a text message, a phone call or a chat with someone claiming to be support. If anyone asks you to read out or type your fund code anywhere other than that confirmation screen, treat it as an attack and stop. Genuine staff have no reason to know it.

Resetting it without surprises

If you forget the code or think it has been exposed, use the reset option in the same Security menu. Expect extra checks and a temporary hold on withdrawals after the change; this delay is deliberate, giving you time to react if someone else triggered the reset. Plan resets for a week when you do not need to move money urgently. After the reset, check the device list and recent login history in Security, and remove any session you do not recognise before you move funds again.

Risk boundary: Bitget Australia Guide

Digital assets are volatile and derivatives can amplify losses. This website has no login, wallet connection, deposit form or customer-support chat. A referral link only records attribution; it does not guarantee access, pricing, rewards, approval or investment results. Availability can differ by residence, legal entity and product, so no regional access is assumed from language or branding alone.

Scenario checkpoint

• Set a fund code under Security in the Bitget app and note the date it was created.
• Use a random code from a password manager that differs from your login password and phone PIN.
• Enter the fund code only on a confirmation screen you opened yourself, never for a caller or chat.
• Reset it during a quiet week and review devices and login history once the reset is done.
