Crypto is powerful but with control comes responsibility. Securing your assets should be your top priority, especially as your portfolio grows. Binance offers a suite of advanced security features designed to protect your funds, your account, and your peace of mind.
This guide breaks down the most effective tools and best practices you can start using today.
🔐 1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra security layer beyond your password.
📌 Why it matters:

Even if someone gets your password, they can’t access your account without your 2FA code.
Steps to enable:
Go to Security settingsEnable Google Authenticator or SMS Auth

Tip: Authenticator apps (like Google or Authy) are generally more secure than SMS.

🛡️ 2. Set Up Anti-Phishing Code
Phishing scams trick users into entering credentials on fake sites.
📌 Anti-Phishing Code helps you verify real Binance emails.
Every email from Binance will include your unique anti-phishing code if it doesn’t, you know it’s fake.
🧠 3. Use Device & IP Whitelisting
Only allow logins from trusted devices or network addresses.
📌 Device/IP whitelisting means:
Your account only accepts access from verified hardwareUnrecognized devices are blocked or flagged
This is especially helpful if you primarily trade from a few trusted devices.
🔑 4. Secure Your Withdrawal Whitelist
By enabling the Withdrawal Whitelist, you restrict withdrawals to addresses you pre-approve.
📌 If someone gains access to your account, they still can’t withdraw to a new address adding another powerful safety net.
🧾 5. Enable Binance’s Advanced Account Protection Features
Visit Security Settings → Advanced Protection to turn on:
✨ Auto-Lockout on Unusual Activity

Alerts you and freezes actions when suspicious moves are detected.
