Stay safe from hackers with these critical steps to secure your Binance account:
1. Don’t Keep Extra Funds on the Exchange
Always transfer the majority of your funds to a cold wallet like Ledger Nano X. Exchanges are vulnerable to hacking, and history shows that even the biggest platforms are at risk. Remember, "Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins."
2. Secure Your Email Account
Use a separate email account for your crypto exchanges. Ensure it has a strong password and 2-factor authentication (2FA). This will prevent unauthorized access through your email.
3. Backup Key for 2FA
When setting up 2FA, save the backup key on paper to recover access if you lose your phone. For maximum security, consider using a physical security key like Yubikey.
4. Whitelist Addresses
Enable address whitelisting so that only pre-approved addresses can withdraw your funds. This prevents unauthorized withdrawals in case your account is compromised.
5. Set Up an Anti-Phishing Code
Add an Anti-Phishing Code to your account to ensure that emails from Binance are genuine and not phishing attempts.
6. Device Management
Review and remove any old or unrecognized devices from your account regularly. This ensures no one else has access to your account.
7. Binance API Key Security
If you use Binance’s API:
Only create API keys when needed.
Use them only on trusted websites.
Never give deposit/withdrawal permissions.
Delete unused API keys.
