Forgot your Binance password? After recovery, make sure to download the Binance APP for the latest version. Losing your password is stressful but fixable. Our site walks you through every recovery scenario.
Password Reset via Email
The most common recovery method:
Steps
- Open the Binance login page
- Click "Forgot Password"
- Enter your registered email address
- Complete the security verification (CAPTCHA)
- Check your email for a password reset link
- Click the link (valid for a limited time)
- Set a new password
- Log in with the new password
If you do not receive the reset email:
- Check spam/junk folder
- Wait 1-2 minutes and try again
- Ensure you are using the correct registered email
- Try using a different browser or device
Password Reset via Phone
If your account is registered with a phone number:
- Click "Forgot Password"
- Select "Phone" reset method
- Enter your phone number
- Receive and enter the SMS verification code
- Set a new password
Account Locked After Multiple Failed Attempts
Binance locks accounts after too many failed login attempts for security:
- Temporary lock: Usually 2 hours. Wait and try again.
- Extended lock: Contact Binance support for manual unlock.
Password Reset with 2FA
If you have Google Authenticator enabled, you may also need to enter your 2FA code during the reset process. This is an extra security layer.
What if I lost access to Google Authenticator too?
- On the login page, click "Forgot Password"
- During the reset process, select "Unable to provide Google Authenticator code"
- Submit identity verification (upload ID photo, take a selfie)
- Wait for manual review (1-7 business days)
- Once approved, reset both password and 2FA
Setting a Strong New Password
Requirements:
- At least 8 characters
- Mix of uppercase and lowercase letters
- At least one number
- Special characters recommended
Tips:
- Do not reuse passwords from other sites
- Use a password manager
- Do not use personal information (birthday, name, etc.)
After Password Reset
After successfully resetting your password:
- 24-hour withdrawal freeze: For security, withdrawals are disabled for 24 hours after a password change
- Re-verify on new devices: You may need to complete verification on devices where you were previously logged in
- Check account activity: Review recent login history and transactions for anything suspicious
- Update password manager: Save the new password securely
FAQ
Does resetting the password affect my assets?
No. Your assets are safe on Binance servers regardless of password changes.
Why is there a 24-hour withdrawal freeze?
This protects you in case an unauthorized person changed your password. The freeze gives you time to notice and take action.
Can I use the old password after resetting?
No. The old password is immediately invalidated.
What if I cannot access my registered email or phone?
Contact Binance support with identity verification documents for manual account recovery. This process takes longer but is the safest option.
How often should I change my password?
There is no mandatory schedule, but changing every 3-6 months is good practice. Always change immediately if you suspect any security compromise.
