What is an Anti-Phishing Code?

The Anti-Phishing Code is a setting offered by Binance that allows users to add an extra layer of security to their accounts. Once you enable it as a setting, the Anti-Phishing Code will be included in all authentic emails that Binance sends you. This code will help you distinguish real emails from phishing emails - thus avoiding falling victim to the latter.


Setting your Anti-Phishing Code

Navigate to your account dashboard. You will find the Anti-Phishing Code configuration section under the Security tab. To begin, click on the “Create Anti-Phishing Code” button.
