Step Two – Enable Google 2FA
Again, in the name of security, we are going to enable Google’s amazing “Two Factor Authentication”.
This is a fantastic tool that enables Binance to ensure that you aren’t getting hacked… and it’s pretty cool, you’ll kind of feel like a spy.
First, download the app “Google Authenticator” from the Android Play Store or in your iPhone App Store. It looks like this…
Once you have downloaded the app, open it. Then, go back to Binance.
This part is very important. There are two things to keep in mind.
Your barcode
Your secret key
1 Bar Code – This is what will sync your Binance account with your Google 2FA. Once you have downloaded the app, you will “scan the barcode”. This will get your Binance account synced with your Google account to give you a way for Binance to know it’s you when you are making a trade. It’s super simple to use.
2 Security Key – I recommend taking this key, and saving it in three places. Write it down and store it in a book or journal, bury it in your email, and take a picture and lock it behind a vault-app (I like to use Keep Safe – it’s free and secure). This ensures that you have mutliple means of accesing this important key. In case you get locked out of your account, or lose your phone, this is the only way to get into your Binance account. Heed my advice. This is like crypto-insurance, and you never need insurance until you fucking NEED insurance. Take the steps, and make sure you do it right – you won’t regret it.
Now you can securely login to your Binance account
By using 2FA, the Google App will give you a code that expires every ninety seconds.
When asked, simply open the app, and apply the 6-digit code that Google provided for that moment in time. Super secure, super easy.
At this point we have a secure account on Binance and are ready to trade for whatever crypto coins we want! Let’s dive into how to use Binance….
