Losing a phone does not mean you should share credentials or create a second identity. Start from the official Binance login page, identify the security method you cannot access, and follow the account recovery flow with the genuine account holder's details.
Identify the security method you cannot use
Confirm whether the unavailable method is an authenticator, passkey, phone number, email address, or another security option. If you still control another registered method, keep it available because Binance may use it during verification.
Start only from the official login flow
Open Binance from the official domain or app. On the security verification screen, select the unavailable method and use the official security-verification-unavailable option. Do not follow reset links from unsolicited messages.
Complete verification with genuine information
Follow the requested identity and security checks using the real account holder's details. Binance may request additional verification or place the request under review. Never send a password, live 2FA code, private key, recovery phrase, or recovery code to anyone claiming to be support.
Expect a temporary security restriction
Binance states that withdrawals, P2P selling, internal transfers, and payment services may be disabled for up to 48 hours after a 2FA reset. If a reset request is under review, Binance says processing may take up to 24 hours. Always follow the current notice shown in your own account.
Secure the replacement device and recovery path
After access is restored, use a unique password, enable an available authenticator or passkey, review recognized devices, and protect the recovery email or phone. Keep backup and recovery information private and offline where appropriate.

Q2. Do I need access to another security method? A2. Binance may use an available method or request additional verification, depending on the account and reset flow.

Q4. How long can a reset review take? A4. Binance states that a request under review may take up to 24 hours, but the current status shown in your account is the controlling notice.
