To use Google Authenticator with your Binance account in 2026, you must link the app to your security profile so that it acts as a second factor of authentication (2FA).
Follow these detailed steps:
1. Preparation of the applications
Download the Google Authenticator app from the Google Play Store or the App Store.
Log in to your Binance account.
2. Setup on Binance (Linking)
Access Security: In Binance, click on your profile icon and select "Security."
Activate the Authenticator: Look for the section 'Authentication app' or 'Google Authenticator' and click on 'Enable' or 'Manage'.
Copy the backup key (Vital): Binance will show you a 16-digit alphanumeric key. Write it down on paper and keep it in a safe place. If you lose your phone, this key is the only way to recover your access without going through Binance technical support.
Scan the QR code:
Open the Google Authenticator app on your phone.
Tap the '+' symbol and choose 'Scan QR code'.
Point the camera at the code that appears on the Binance screen.
Final verification: Binance will ask you to enter the 6-digit code that now appears in your Google app, along with a code sent to your email, to confirm that the linking is correct.
3. How to use it to withdraw funds or log in
Once set up, the process each time you perform a sensitive operation (such as withdrawing cryptocurrency or logging in from a new device) will be as follows:
Binance will show you a field called 'Google Authenticator Code'.
Open the app on your mobile and look for the 6-digit code identified as 'Binance'.
Enter the code before 30 seconds pass (before the blue circle disappears and the number changes).
The operation will be automatically authorized after validating the code.
