If you lost the Pionex Google Authenticator QR code or no longer receive valid codes, use Pionex’s current official reset guide. The correct path depends on whether you are signed in, whether the authenticator still works and whether you know the account password. Do not use the old email template previously published on this page.

Choose the recovery situation that matches your account
| Your situation | Correct starting point |
|---|---|
| Signed in and authenticator works | Replace the binding through the signed-in reset flow |
| Signed in but authenticator is lost or broken | Use the signed-in recovery scenario |
| Not signed in, password available | Use the not-signed-in authenticator reset scenario |
| Not signed in, password and authenticator unavailable | Use the combined account-recovery scenario |
Use the official Pionex reset hub
Pionex’s current guide presents four reset scenarios. Open How to Reset Google Authenticator, choose the matching situation and follow the linked secure workflow.
If the authenticator is available but the code is rejected, first read How to Solve a 2FA Code Error. A phone-time mismatch or another correctable issue may not require a full reset.
Do not send the old email template
The original version of this article instructed you to email account details to a service address. That instruction is outdated. Begin with the current Help Center flow or the official Pionex Support link so that you receive the present identity-verification requirements.
Protect the replacement binding
- Confirm you are on an official Pionex or Pionex Help Center domain.
- Complete only the verification requested in that secure workflow.
- Remove an old authenticator entry only after the replacement works.
- Store the new recovery information offline.
- Never share the QR image, setup key, password or one-time code.
If the reset still fails
Return to the official reset article and use its Pionex Support link. Describe whether you are signed in, which verification step failed and the exact error message. Do not post account evidence in public comments or social channels.
Frequently asked questions
Can you recover the original Pionex Authenticator QR code?
Do not rely on recovering the old QR image. Use the official Pionex reset path that matches whether you are signed in and whether the current authenticator still works.
What if you are signed in and Google Authenticator still works?
Use Pionex’s signed-in reset instructions to replace the binding. Complete the required verification and save the new setup key securely.
What if you are signed in but the authenticator is unavailable?
Choose the official signed-in recovery scenario for a lost or non-working authenticator and complete the identity checks shown by Pionex.
What if you cannot sign in to Pionex?
Use the official not-signed-in reset scenario. The route differs depending on whether you still know the account password.
Should you email account details to reset Google Authenticator?
Do not follow the old email template previously shown on this page. Start from the current Pionex Help Center or official Support channel and provide only what the secure workflow requests.
Can you reuse an old Google Authenticator setup key?
Only use a setup key that Pionex currently displays during an authorized binding process. Do not scan an old screenshot after the binding has been replaced.

Keep the recovery or setup information offline in a secure location. Never share the QR image, setup key, password or verification codes with another person.
Account-recovery steps can change. Use only the current Pionex Help Center and official Support routes, and never disclose passwords or one-time verification codes.
