How Do I Transfer My Binance Authenticator to a New Phone?

Binance is a cryptocurrency exchange that allows you to trade digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. In order to keep your account secure, Binance requires you to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to enter a code from your Authenticator App in addition to your password when logging in. This means that even if someone knows your password, they will not be able to access your account unless they also have your 2FA code.

If you get a new phone, you will need to transfer your Binance Authenticator to the new device. Here’s how:

1. Download and install the Authy App on your new phone.

2. Open the Authy App and tap “Add Account” at the bottom of the screen.

3. Select “Other” as the account type and enter your Binance email address.

Then tap “OK”.

4. You will see a QR code appear on the screen.

On your old phone, open the Authy App and tap the Binance account you want to transfer. Then tap “Transfer Account” at the bottom of the screen.

NOTE: WARNING: Before transferring your Binance Authenticator to a new phone, you must make sure that your old phone is wiped of all personal data. If the data is not completely erased, it may be accessible to malicious actors who could gain access to your account. Additionally, you will need access to your account’s recovery phrase in order to transfer your Authenticator. It is strongly recommended that you copy this phrase down and store it securely offline.

5. Select “Scan QR Code” and use your old phone’s camera to scan the QR code that appears on your new phone.

6. Once the QR code has been scanned, you will be asked to enter the 6-digit Authy code from your old phone.

This is to confirm that you are transferring the account from one device to another. Enter the code and tap “OK”.

7. You will now see your Binance account appear in the Authy App on your new phone!
