The Anti-Phishing code is a security feature that lets you add an extra layer of security to your Binance account. Once you've enabled the anti-phishing code, it will be included in all genuine emails and SMS from Binance. This code will allow you to discern genuine communication sent by us and keep you protected against phishing or smishing attempts.
The Anti-Phishing Code is a unique set of letters and numbers you set, that will appear in every legitimate email/SMS you receive from Binance. If the displayed code that you set previously is incorrect or missing, it may be a phishing attempt and should be reported immediately (please refer to: How to Report Scams on Binance Support?).
Below is what an Email or SMS from Binance would look like with and without the Anti-Phishing Code:
1. Log in to your Binance app and go to the menu icon, tap on your profile to launch the ‘Account Info’ screen, then select [Security].
2. On the 'Security' screen, tap [Anti-Phishing Code] - [Create].
3. Set up your code and tap [Submit]. Complete your verification with your 2FA or Passkey and you will have set up your new Anti-Phishing Code.
1. Log in to your Binance account, hover over the [Profile] icon, and click [Account] from the drop-down menu.
2. Go to [Security] and scroll down to the [Advanced Security] section and click [Enable] next to [Anti-Phishing Code].
3. Click [Create] to get started.
4. Enter an anti-phishing code that you desire and click [Submit].
The code must be between 6 to 8 characters and include at least three of the following character types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and underscores. We recommend choosing a code that is not easily guessed but is easily recognized by you.
5. Complete the security verification with your registered two-factor authentication (2FA) devices.
Once you're verified via your 2FA code or a passkey, you’ll have created your anti-phishing code. Now all emails/sms that are legitimate from Binance will contain the code that you've set.
Like passwords, it’s a good practice to update your Anti-Phishing Code regularly. If you suspect that your anti-phishing code has gotten leaked, make sure to update it as soon as possible.
1. On your Binance app, go to menu - [Profile] - [Account Info] - [Security]. Tap [Anti-Phishing Code].
2. Tap [Change Anti-Phishing Code] to start the process of changing your existing code. Once ready, tap [Submit].
3. Complete the final verification with your 2FA or Passkey and you will have updated your Anti-Phishing Code.
1. Click [Change] next to [Anti-Phishing Code].
2. Click [Change Anti-Phishing Code].
3. Enter a new anti-phishing code and click [Confirm].
The code must be between 6 to 8 characters and include at least three of the following character types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and underscores. We recommend choosing a code that is not easily guessed but is easily recognized by you.
4. Complete the security verification with your registered 2FA devices and your anti-phishing code will be changed.
