EnglishHow to Use YubiKey for Two-factor Authentication (2FA) on Binance
What is a Yubikey?
A YubiKey is a small electronic device that works as a security key and can be used for various authentication methods. On Binance, security keys can provide an extra layer of account security, acting as a Two-factor Authentication (2FA) method for logging in to your account, withdrawing funds, and resetting passwords. While there are other types of security keys, this guide focuses on the YubiKey.
Note:
- You can bind up to 5 Yubikeys to your account, each Yubikey has the same access right to your account;
- Any bound Yubikeys can be used to verify your account.
