How To Add Two Factor Authentication (2FA) To Binance
A step by step guide on how to enable 2FA and use the UNLOQ app as a second factor for logging in to your Binance account.
Passwords no longer offer your accounts the protection they were created for in the first place. Therefore, it’s important that whenever you can, you enable two factor authentication.
The majority of services and applications recommend using Google Authenticator mobile app for generating the login passcode, or one-time password used as a second factor. Despite being the most popular choice, it has its downfalls in the user experience chapter.
Besides allowing you to keep all your 2FA tokens in one place, the UNLOQ authentication app provides token Backup and Restore, which Google’s app fails to offer.
Remember, you can use UNLOQ for any service that supports Google Authenticator.
This post will help you set up two factor authentication for your favourite accounts using the UNLOQ app.
1. Get the UNLOQ mobile app
The first step to adding two factor authentication to your Binance account is to download the UNLOQ mobile app and follow the in-app instructions.

At the last step, you’ll be required to insert your secret backup key, Binance login password, and the authentication code generated by the mobile app. To get the one-time password, tap Binance in your list of applications in the UNLOQ app. Insert it and then click Enable Google Authentication:
