Note: Make sure to access the email confirmation using the same browser as your Bitfinex page. If clicking the link takes you to another browser, you can copy and paste the link to the browser you are using with your Bitfinex website.

  1. Congratulations! You have now created your API key. The page will show both your API Key and API Key Secret in text and as a QR code. You can either scan the code or copy and paste the text according to your needs.
