Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Does QR code login require additional security verification?
If your account has the Device Management feature enabled, scanning to log in on a new computer for the first time may require an email or SMS verification code confirmation. Subsequent logins on the same computer will not require extra verification.
Q2: Can I use QR code login if my phone has no internet?
No. QR code login requires both your phone and computer to be connected to the internet. The mobile APP needs to send the confirmation information to Binance servers.
Q3: How long does the QR code login session last?
After logging in on the desktop, the session defaults to lasting 24 hours. You will need to log in again after it expires. You can also adjust the auto-logout time in your security settings.
Q4: Can someone else take a screenshot of my QR code to log in?
No. The QR code has a 60-second validity period and can only be used once. Even if a screenshot is taken, it cannot be used after it expires. Furthermore, you still need to confirm on your own phone after scanning.
Q5: Can I use other scanning tools to scan the Binance login QR code?
No. The Binance login QR code can only be recognized by the built-in scanning feature of the Binance APP. Using third-party tools like WeChat scan or Alipay scan will not work.
