FAQ

Why do changes require multiple verifications?

Multi-factor verification prevents hackers from modifying settings with just one compromised credential.

Why can I not withdraw after changing settings?

24-hour cooling period. If your account is compromised, the attacker cannot withdraw immediately, giving you time to respond.

Can I disable all security verification?

Strongly not recommended. Register for Binance and keep at least email verification + Google Authenticator enabled at all times.

What if someone tells me to change my security settings?

If anyone (even claiming to be Binance support) instructs you to change security settings, it is almost certainly a scam. Binance support never proactively asks users to modify security settings.

Security Tips

  • Only change settings on your own initiative -- never at someone else's request
  • Check account immediately after any change
  • Record what you changed and when
  • Never disable multiple security measures at once
  • Update backups after every change

Register for Binance and maintain strong security settings for optimal account protection.
