Bitget (BETA) Account and API Key Creation

In order to use Orion Terminal with Bitget, you must have an account that was created with the Orion referral code. Register now.

2. Before tapping "Create Account" make sure the referral code is filled in.

3. Solve the captcha to finish logging in.

Tip: Bitget has an additional layer of security with email verification codes. When setting up your new account, you'll need to input a few email codes, we recommend having your email open so you can quickly copy and paste the codes during this process.

4. Put in your email verification and your account will be complete.

Tip: The next steps are for creating API Keys. In order to have API keys on your account, you need to setup Google 2FA. Once you have setup Google2FA on Bitget, continue on for setting up your API Keys.
