How to Set Up an Anti-Phishing Code After Opening a Binance Account?
The anti-phishing code is a feature inBinanceaccount security settings.You can set it up at any time after opening an account, with no time limit.It is essentially a unique code that you set yourself. Once configured, every official email and some SMS messages from Binance will include this code. If you receive a "Binance notification" without this code, it is almost certainly a phishing scam.

How the Anti-Phishing Code Works
The logic behind the anti-phishing code is simple:use something you know to verify the identity of the sender.You set a custom code that you can remember in your Binance account, and the Binance system appends this code to the end of all official emails and some SMS messages.
To determine if an email is truly from Binance, you don't need to check the sender address (which can be forged). Just check the body of the email for your unique code. If it's missing, the email is fake.

How to Verify the Setting is Active
After setting up, check any official Binance email in your mailbox. If the email body contains your unique code, the setup was successful. You can also use this method to verify whether an email you receive is from an official source—any email claiming to be from Binance that does not contain this code is suspicious and should not be clicked on.
