Bitfinex Update 1.127: Google SSO, UI Tweaks & Bug Fixes

The most prominent addition in version 1.127 is the integration of Google Single Sign-On (SSO), providing users with a faster and more convenient authentication method. This feature is complemented by updates to the platform’s two-factor authentication (2FA) system, which now utilizes OTP controls with a refreshed design. The update also addressed specific security and access issues, including a fix for the 2FA fallback state and problems with the password reset functionality. These changes collectively aim to reduce friction during login while maintaining robust account security protocols.

Beyond core authentication, the update includes important localization and translation work for the new Google SSO feature, specifically adding support for Russian (RU) and Traditional Chinese (TW) languages. This reflects Bitfinex’s ongoing efforts to cater to a global user base. Furthermore, a bug was fixed where the ‘share snapshot’ menu item was incorrectly visible on charts, a minor but notable adjustment to user interface permissions.

A significant portion of the update is dedicated to polishing the user interface. Key trading tools received attention: the Market Watch settings are now stored per widget, the currency insights tooltip includes a new sparkline chart with a title and last price data, and the order form and ladder’s active tab position has been stabilized. For derivatives trading, specifically provided by the entity Bitfinex Derivatives El Salvador S.A. de C.V., fixes were applied to correct ticker row misalignment and broken icons in the tickers list.

The update also enhances functionality for fund management. The wire withdrawal process was improved with the addition of a country field for recipient information and a layout adjustment to accommodate more than three withdrawal providers. A critical bug was fixed where entering a dot in the withdrawal modal could cause a ‘NaN’ error. The wallets page received styling updates, and the open deposits/withdrawals page was modified to include a scroll on top for better navigation. Labels for the stablecoin USDT and the gold-backed token XAUT were also updated in the Movements section.

General usability improvements include widening the wizard modal to 640px, updating currency tooltips to remain open when hovered over, and fixing alignment issues with header tabs and search inputs. The platform’s visual consistency was addressed by resolving problems with balance chart colors and bridge visibility on the light theme, ensuring a cohesive experience across display preferences.

Version 1.127 demonstrates a strong focus on technical stability, addressing a wide array of backend and frontend issues. Notifications were a key area, with fixes applied to the ‘Email and subscriptions’ section, incorrect rounding of price alert values, and desktop notifications not working on some browsers. Order management was also refined by resolving an issue where an order could be submitted with an invalid ‘Time in Force’ (TIF) parameter.

The update rectified several interface-specific bugs. These included fixing the Profit and Loss (PnL) percentage tooltip, ensuring the alert symbols dropdown correctly shows paper currencies for paper trading accounts, and preventing sub-account card content from exceeding bounds on smaller screens. Other fixes targeted link updates, such as replacing the careers link and localizing the sub-accounts Knowledge Base link, and resolved a critical issue where enabling all addresses in the withdrawal whitelist could inadvertently wipe out existing entries.

These cumulative fixes, from correcting a singular/plural text issue for crypto deposit confirmations to ensuring the country field is sent when using a saved wire withdrawal template, are designed to create a more reliable and predictable trading environment. By systematically resolving these points of friction, Bitfinex aims to solidify its platform’s infrastructure for both spot and derivatives trading activities.
