  At BYDFi, we recommend using a combination of SMS-based authentication and Google Authenticator for 2-factor authentication on crypto.com. SMS-based authentication sends a verification code to your registered mobile number, while Google Authenticator generates time-based codes on your mobile device. This dual-layered approach provides added security and flexibility for accessing your crypto account.
