As the world increasingly moves towards a digital age, so too do our methods for authentication and security. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is one way to help ensure that only you can access your accounts, even if someone knows your password.
Google Authenticator is a 2FA app that generates time-based codes on your phone. In order to use Google Authenticator with Binance, you will need to link the two accounts.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to sync Google Authenticator with Binance:
1. Download and install the Google Authenticator app on your phone.
2. Open the Binance app and go to the ‘Security’ section.
3. Scroll down and select ‘Enable Google Authentication’.
4. A QR code will appear on your screen.
Use the Google Authenticator app to scan the QR code.
5. The app will generate a 6-digit code.
Enter this code into the Binance app and select ‘Confirm’.
Your Binance account is now linked with Google Authenticator and 2FA is enabled! Going forward, you will need to enter both your password and a 6-digit code from the Google Authenticator app in order to log into your Binance account.
Two-factor authentication is an important security measure that everyone should take advantage of. If you haven’t already, we highly recommend setting up 2FA for all of your online accounts, not just Binance!.
