What is an anti-phishing code?

Anti-phishing codes are a security feature provided by Binance that allows users to add additional security protection to their accounts. After enabling the anti-phishing code, Binance will add the anti-phishing code to all regular emails sent to you. This code will help you identify your real email address and prevent phishing scams.​

How to set up your first anti-phishing code

From the Binance homepage, navigate to your User Center. You can find anti-phishing code settings under the Security tab. If you want to enable it, click the button that says "Create Anti-Phishing Code".

An input box will now appear where you can enter the required anti-phishing code. The code must contain at least 8 characters, including uppercase letters and numbers. It is recommended that you choose a code that is not easy to guess but is easily recognized by you.

After that, you'll need to enter a Google authentication code or a mobile verification code, depending on which two-factor authenticator you have enabled.​

After entering the two-factor authentication code, you will complete creating the anti-phishing code. Now all legitimate emails from Binance will contain the code you set.

Tip: We recommend that you update your anti-phishing code at least once a month.

How to update anti-phishing code

It is recommended that you update your anti-phishing code regularly to improve security, so you can follow the steps below to update your code.

Navigate to the Anti-Phishing Code settings on your account's User Center and you will see a button for "Modify Code", click this button to update it.

Again, you'll need to enter a Google authentication code or a mobile verification code, depending on which two-factor authenticator you have enabled.
