How to change your email address on Binance? (Security Settings)

Accessing Security Settings

1. Log in to your Binance account using your current credentials and two-factor authentication method.

2. Navigate to the top-right corner of the dashboard and click on your profile icon.

3. Select Security Settings from the dropdown menu.

4. Scroll down to the Email Address section, which displays your currently registered email.

5. Click the Edit button next to the email field.

Verification Requirements

1. Binance mandates identity verification before allowing email changes for accounts with certain activity levels or KYC status.

2. If your account is not fully verified, you may be prompted to complete ID verification before proceeding.

3. Users with VIP levels above 0 or those holding specific derivatives positions often face stricter confirmation steps.

4. A valid SMS-capable phone number must be linked and verified in advance.

5. The system checks for recent withdrawal activity; if a withdrawal occurred within the last 24 hours, the email change may be temporarily blocked.

Two-Step Confirmation Process

1. Enter your new email address in the designated input field and click Continue.

2. A six-digit verification code is sent to your current registered email — this step confirms ownership of the old address.

3. After entering the code correctly, a second verification is triggered: a new six-digit code is sent to the new email address.

4. You must access the new inbox, retrieve the code, and enter it within five minutes.

5. Once both codes are validated, the system updates your email immediately and logs the change in your security history.

Post-Change Restrictions

1. Email modifications trigger a 72-hour lock on fiat deposits and withdrawals as a protective measure.

2. API keys created before the email update remain active but cannot be regenerated until after the cooldown period ends.

3. Login sessions across all devices are terminated automatically, requiring re-authentication with the updated credentials.

4. The previous email address is permanently disassociated and cannot be reused for another Binance account for 30 days.

5. Any pending email-based support tickets are closed without notice upon successful change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Can I change my email if my account is locked? No. Email modification is disabled for accounts under security lock, including those flagged for suspicious login attempts or pending manual review.

Q2. What happens if I don’t receive the verification code on my new email? Check spam/junk folders. If still missing, wait two minutes and request a new code. Avoid repeated requests — more than three within ten minutes triggers a temporary block.

Q3. Is it possible to revert to the old email after the change? Yes, but only within 24 hours of the update. A reversal requires SMS verification and approval via the original email’s inbox.

Q4. Does changing my email affect my referral link or commission history? No. Referral program data, trading commission records, and sub-account associations remain intact and unaffected by the email update.
