Regularly checking your account's login history is a good habit that helps you quickly spot unauthorized access to your Binance account. The Binance app has a device management feature that shows all devices that have logged into your account. Make sure you have the genuine app from the Binance official website — the official Binance APP. iPhone users can follow our iOS installation guide.
Where to Find Device Management
Many users don't know this feature exists. Here's how to find it:
Path 1: Through Security Settings
Binance app → Tap profile icon (top left) → Security → Device Management
Path 2: Through Account Settings
Binance app → Tap profile icon → Account → Security → Devices & Activities
Different app versions may have slightly different layouts, but device management is always under security settings.
What You Can See
The device management page shows a device list with each entry displaying:
Device name and model: e.g., "iPhone 15 Pro" or "Samsung Galaxy S24"
Operating system: iOS, Android, Windows, etc.
Login time: Precise to the minute.
Login location: Approximate geographic location based on IP address (may be inaccurate if VPN is used).
Device status: Whether the device is currently active (logged in).
How to Spot Unauthorized Access
Watch for these red flags:
Unrecognized Devices
If the list shows a device model you've never used — for example, you only have an Android phone but an iPhone login appears — that's suspicious.
Unfamiliar Locations
Login locations from cities or countries you've never visited warrant high alert. Note that VPN usage may show the VPN server's location rather than the actual login location.
Unusual Login Times
Login records at times when you're certain you weren't using the app (like 3-4 AM) should be taken seriously.
Rapid Device Changes
Multiple different devices logging into your account in a short period — none of which are yours — suggests your account may be compromised.
What to Do If You Find Unauthorized Access
Step 1: Remove Suspicious Devices
Each device entry has a "Delete" or "Remove" button. Tap it to force that device offline. Remove all unrecognized devices.
Step 2: Change Your Password Immediately
Go to security settings and change your login password. Make it completely different from the old one — at least 12 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
Step 3: Check Security Settings
Verify nothing has been tampered with: bound phone number, bound email, Google Authenticator, fund password, and withdrawal whitelist.
Step 4: Review Transaction and Withdrawal History
Check recent trades and withdrawals for any you didn't authorize. If you find unauthorized withdrawals, contact Binance support immediately to freeze your account.
Step 5: Strengthen Security
After addressing the immediate threat: re-bind Google Authenticator, enable withdrawal whitelist, set anti-phishing code, and enable login notifications.
Preventing Unauthorized Access
Use strong passwords: Don't use birthdays, phone numbers, or name initials. Never reuse passwords across platforms.
Enable all security verification: Google Authenticator, email, and SMS verification — enable everything available.
Don't log in on public devices: Internet cafes, public computers, and borrowed phones may have keyloggers.
Don't click suspicious links: Whether from emails, texts, or social media — if you didn't seek it out, don't click it.
Check device list regularly: Make it a weekly habit. Early detection means minimal damage.
Other Uses for Device Management
Beyond security monitoring, device management is useful for cleaning up after switching phones — remove old device authorizations to ensure your account is fully signed out. Similarly, remove tablets or other devices you no longer use for Binance.
