🚨WARNING: Binance Locked Me Out of My Own Account – Here's EXACTLY What Happened
✅ Whitelisted address?
✅ Facial recognition passed?
✅ 2FA and passkey login?
✅ Same laptop for years?
❌ STILL BLOCKED.
❌ Called a potential scammer.
❌ Locked out of account for 24 hours.
❌ No access to my own funds during market volatility.
I’m sharing this to WARN other users – you can follow all Binance security rules to the letter and still get locked out when it matters most.
Here's What Triggered It:
I converted XXX to YYY, whitelisted my own wallet address, waited the 24h cooldown, and went to withdraw.
BAM! Withdrawal blocked.
“Our system detected a potential scam.”
Forced to re-verify. Waited 1 hour “protection period.”
Tried again.
Now had to wait another 24 hours “enhanced protection period.”
Tried again.
BAM! Login blocked.
“Unusual activity from unknown device.”
I was using the same laptop I always use.
End Result?
🔒 24-hour lockout
🔁 Forced cooling-off periods back-to-back
🤯 Withdrawal attempts triggering facial recognition errors
🙃 Customer support repeating “No worries” while the situation got worse
Binance, what’s the point of:
- Whitelisting addresses…
- Using a passkey…
- Completing face ID…
- Logging in from a known device…
…if your system doesn't trust any of it?
Meanwhile, markets are moving and my funds are frozen “for my safety.”
Spoiler: they’re safe on your platform, not mine.
