When a phone is lost or stolen, the Bitget app goes with it, and often so does the authenticator that protects the account. People then try to remember which email they registered, which second factor they set up and whether they ever saved a backup key. A lost-device card, prepared while everything works, answers those questions in advance. It is a single sheet of paper that describes how your account is protected without containing any secrets. This guide explains what to write on it, where to keep it, how to use it during the official recovery process and what to update afterwards.
What goes on the card
Write the registered email address, the phone number linked to the account, the type of second factor you use and which devices hold it. Add the date you prepared the card. Do not write the password or any verification codes. If you use an authenticator app, the setup key belongs on a separate sheet stored even more carefully, because it can recreate your codes.
Where to keep it
Store the card at home with other important documents, away from the phone it is meant to replace. Do not photograph it, since phone galleries are often copied to online storage. If you travel, leave the card at home and make sure a trusted backup, such as a second registered device, is available. Update the card whenever you change any of the details.
Using it during recovery
Begin recovery only from the official Bitget app on a new device or from your saved bookmark, and follow the help centre's steps. The card tells you which email to check and which factor is missing. Expect identity checks and possibly a waiting period before withdrawals. Ignore anyone who contacts you offering faster recovery; real support does not solicit users on social media.
After access returns
Remove the lost device from the trusted list, end unfamiliar sessions, set up your second factor again and review withdrawal addresses. Then update the card with the new device and date. Consider registering a second device for passkeys, if supported, so a single lost phone no longer means a full recovery process.
