By following some simple security steps, you can help easily protect your Binance account and keep your assets secure. Let’s take a look at what exactly you can do.
1. Set alerts from Binance
Enable notifications within your Binance account settings to receive alerts for unauthorized activity like password changes, login attempts, or withdrawals.
2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) or passkey
Two-factor authentication (2FA) can help secure your Binance account as they add an extra verification step, making it difficult for hackers to access your account. Examples of 2FAs include passkeys, the Google Authenticator app, and SMS codes.
Additionally, if you’ve set up 2FA, you will be alerted whenever you or someone else is attempting to log into your account.
While 2FA is considered the gold standard of account protection, passkeys offer an alternative authentication method, powered by public-key cryptography, which helps address some of the limitations of 2FA.
3. Observe login patterns
Unusual login times or browsing patterns may indicate unauthorized access. For example, if you typically log in after work but receive a notification of early morning activity, someone else may have accessed your account.
4. Check for unfamiliar linked devices
Suspicious login attempts from different devices or locations may indicate a potential attack. Investigate further if you notice unfamiliar device information.
If you suspect an ATO attack, immediately change your password and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for added protection.
