Binance now supports using passkeys to verify your identity for most account functions across different devices. Once you’ve added a passkey, you can use it for Two-factor Authentication (2FA) on all your linked devices. It enables faster and more secure verification to protect your account than simply using passwords.
1. How to add a passkey on the Binance app?
The passkey function is currently only available on Binance app 2.60 or above, with iOS 16 or above devices and Android OS 9 or above devices.
You can add a passkey using your iCloud Keychain, a USB security key, your phone’s screen lock or PIN, or a different device (e.g., another mobile phone).
1. Log in to your Binance app and go to [Account Center]. Tap the profile section at the top and go to [Security].
2. Tap [Passkeys (Biometrics)] – [Add Passkey]. You might need to verify with your existing passkey/2FA device for the next step.
3. You’ll see a pop-up. Confirm this is your Binance account’s email address. Tap [Continue] and choose a verification method to create a passkey.
a. iCloud Keychain (for iOS devices only)
b. USB/NFC security key (for both iOS and Android devices)
c. Another device (for iOS devices only)
d. Google Password Manager (for Android devices only)
5. A passkey has been successfully added to your Binance account.
2. How to add a passkey on the Binance website?
You can add a passkey for your Binance account on supported browsers, such as the latest version of Chrome. Similar to creating a passkey on the Binance App, you can use your computer’s password or biometric authentication (e.g., Touch ID), a USB security key, or a different device (e.g., your phone) to do so.
1. Log in to your Binance account and mouse over the [Profile] icon. Click [Account].
2. Go to [Security]. Click [Manage] next to [Passkeys (Biometrics)].
3. Click [Add Passkey].
4. You might need to complete 2FA verification for the next step.
5. You will see a pop-up from your browser. Confirm this is your Binance account’s email address and choose a verification method for your new passkey.
a. Your chrome profile
b. Google Password Manager (recommended)
c. USB security key
c. Another device
6. A passkey has been successfully added to your Binance account. Please note that the passkey created will only be saved on this device.
3. How to edit or remove a passkey?
If you’re using the Binance app:
You can customize the name of your passkeys by tapping the [Edit] icon next to it.
To remove a passkey, tap the [Delete] icon and verify your request with passkey or 2FA.
If you’re using the Binance website (Chrome):
Click [Edit] or [Remove] next to the passkey to rename or delete it.
Please note that when you remove a passkey from Chrome, you must verify the request with the passkey. For example, if you want to remove the USB security key passkey, you need to insert the key into your computer to verify the request.
4. Take the Final Step for Secure Binance Account Management
Passkeys offer a much stronger level of security than traditional password-based authentication while also making the login process faster and more convenient. Now, set up a passkey for your Binance account and keep your account secure anytime, anywhere!
For even better security, consider using Google Password Manager or iCloud Keychain to store and manage your passkeys safely. If you ever need to add a passkey on a new device, simply follow the guide above for a quick and easy setup.
✅ Benefits of Using a Passkey:
- Faster and more secure login (Authenticate instantly without entering a password)
- Protection against phishing attacks (Passkeys are much harder to compromise)
- Safe and seamless access across multiple devices
