Who's Logged Into Your Binance? Device Management Tells You Everything

Your Account Might Still Be Logged In on Someone Else's Phone

Many people register a Binance account and just keep using it without ever checking the list of logged-in devices. Maybe you once logged in on a friend's phone to check the market, maybe you signed in at an internet cafe, or maybe you switched to a new phone but never logged out on the old one.

These "leftover" login sessions are all security risks. In more serious cases, if someone has logged into your account without your knowledge, you can catch them through the device management feature.

Where to Find Device Management

On the App

Open the Binance app, go to "Profile" then "Security" then "Device Management" or "Manage Devices." In some versions, it may be under "Security Activity" or "Account Activity." Download the latest app via Binance official to ensure you have access to the full suite of security features.

On the Web

Log in to the Binance website, go to the "Account Security" page, and find the "Device Management" option.

What Information Does the Device Management Page Show?

After opening Device Management, you'll see a list of devices. Each entry contains the following information:

Device Type and Model

Shows whether the login device is a phone or computer, its brand and model, and which browser was used. For example, "iPhone 15 Pro / iOS" or "Windows 11 / Chrome."

Login Time

Shows when this device most recently logged into your account.

IP Address and Location

Shows the IP address used during login and the approximate geographic location, such as "Shanghai," "Beijing," or another city.

Device Status

Shows whether the device currently has an active login session.

How to Identify Suspicious Devices

Device Models You Don't Recognize

If you only use an iPhone but an Android device appears on the list, something is clearly wrong.

Locations That Aren't Yours

If you're in Shanghai but the list shows a login from a foreign city you've never visited, that's a strong security warning.

However, if you use a proxy tool, the displayed location may reflect the proxy server's location rather than your actual one. This is normal.

Old Devices You No Longer Use

If a phone you've sold or shelved still appears in the login list, you should remove it. While most login sessions will expire automatically, proactively cleaning them up is the safer approach.

Login Times When You Weren't Active

If a device's most recent login was at 3 AM while you were asleep, that should raise a red flag.

How to Remove Suspicious Devices

In the device list, each entry has a "Delete" or "Remove" button next to it. Click it, confirm when prompted, and the device's login session will be forcibly invalidated. The next time someone tries to use that device to access your account, they'll need to enter the password and pass security verification again.

If you find a genuinely suspicious device, after removing it you should also:

• Change your password immediately
• Review recent account activity
• Verify that security settings haven't been tampered with
• If the situation is serious, consider freezing the account for a thorough investigation

Build a Habit of Regular Checks

It's a good idea to open Device Management every one to two weeks. This takes less than a minute but can help you spot security issues early.

You can combine it with other security checks to form a simple security audit checklist:

• Check Device Management to confirm all devices are yours
• Review login history for any abnormal entries
• Verify that Google Authenticator and other security settings are working properly
• Check for any newly created API keys

Is It Safe to Be Logged In on Multiple Devices?

Binance allows you to be logged in on multiple devices simultaneously. For example, you can use the mobile app and desktop browser at the same time. This is safe by itself, as long as all devices are yours and the devices themselves are secure.

But if it makes you uneasy, you can go to Device Management and keep only the device you're currently using, removing everything else. This ensures only the device in front of you can access your account.

What to Do After Switching to a New Phone

When you get a new phone, besides transferring Google Authenticator, you should also take these steps:

First, install the latest Binance app on your new phone via Binance official and log in.

Second, go to Device Management and remove the old phone's device entry.

Third, if you plan to sell or give away the old phone, make sure you've logged out of all accounts and factory-reset the device before selling.

Fourth, confirm on your new phone that all security settings (Google Authenticator, push notifications, etc.) are working properly.

Accounts registered through Binance official have full access to the device management feature. Security is never a one-time task — it's an ongoing habit. Regularly check your device list to make sure your Binance account is only active on devices you trust.

A Real-World Lesson

A user once logged into Binance at an internet cafe to check the market. After closing the browser, they assumed they had logged out. But the browser had actually saved their login session. Later, someone else opened the browser on that computer, found Binance already logged in, and withdrew all of the user's assets.

If this user had built the habit of regularly checking Device Management, they would have spotted an unfamiliar device on the list and removed it in time to prevent the loss. A small habit can protect your entire portfolio.
