How to View and Remove Logged-In Devices on the Binance APP

How Many Devices Is Your Account Logged Into?

Have you ever considered that your Binance account might still be logged in on an old phone you no longer use, a computer at an internet cafe, or even a device you don't recognize at all? This is not an exaggeration — many people forget to log out when switching phones or using someone else's device, and some never even realize their account has been accessed from other devices.

The Binance APP's Device Management feature works like a security monitoring panel, giving you a clear view of every device that has ever logged into your account, with the ability to remove any untrusted device in one tap. This tutorial will walk you through the feature in detail.

How to View the Logged-In Device List

Steps

1. Open the Binance APP
2. Tap the avatar icon in the upper-left corner to enter the personal center
3. Tap "Security"
4. Find and tap "Device Management"
5. The system will display a list of all authorized logged-in devices

Information in the Device List

Each device entry typically shows:

• Device name / model: e.g., "iPhone 15 Pro", "Samsung Galaxy S24", "Windows PC"
• Operating system: iOS, Android, Windows, macOS
• Login time: The most recent time this device was used to log in
• Login IP address: The network IP used during login
• Login location: Approximate geographic location based on the IP address
• Device status: Current device / historical device

How to Identify Suspicious Devices

When reviewing the device list, pay close attention to the following anomalies:

Warning Sign 1: Unrecognized Device

If the list contains a device model you have never used, that is the most direct warning sign. For example, if you only use an iPhone but an Android device appears in the list.

Warning Sign 2: Unusual Geographic Location

If you always use Binance from your home city, but the device list shows a login from a foreign country, you should be on high alert.

Warning Sign 3: Unusual Time

A login record at 3 AM? If you were asleep at that time, this could very likely be an unauthorized access.

Warning Sign 4: Multiple Devices of the Same Type

If multiple devices of the same model appear (e.g., three iPhone 14s), some of them may have been spoofed by an attacker using an emulator.

Removing Suspicious Devices

Removing a Single Device

1. On the Device Management page, find the device you want to remove
2. Tap the "Remove" or "Delete" button to the right of the device entry
3. The system will require security verification (SMS verification code, Google Authenticator, etc.)
4. After verification passes, the device will be forcibly logged out
5. That device will need to re-enter the password and complete all security verifications the next time it tries to access your account

Removing All Devices

If you suspect your account may have been compromised:

1. Find the "Remove All Devices" or "Log Out All Devices" option on the page
2. Tap to confirm
3. Complete security verification
4. All devices (including the one you are currently using) will be logged out
5. You will need to log in again

Note: After performing "Remove All Devices," it is recommended to change your password immediately.

Emergency Response After Discovering an Unauthorized Login

If you find a confirmed unauthorized login device in your device list, take the following steps immediately:

Step 1: Remove the Suspicious Device (1 minute)

Immediately remove the device, forcing it to log out.

Step 2: Change Your Password (2 minutes)

1. Go to "Security" → "Password"
2. Change to a brand-new high-strength password
3. Do not use a password similar to the previous one

Step 3: Check Security Settings (3 minutes)

1. Check whether Google Authenticator is still functioning normally
2. Check whether your bound email and phone number have been changed
3. Check for any API keys you do not recognize
4. Check whether the withdrawal whitelist has been tampered with

Step 4: Check Your Assets (2 minutes)

1. Check whether your account balance is normal
2. Review recent transaction records and withdrawal records
3. If you find any abnormal transactions, contact customer support immediately

Step 5: Consider Freezing the Account

If the situation is serious (assets have been transferred or security settings have been tampered with), use the one-tap freeze feature to temporarily freeze the account, then contact Binance's official customer support for a thorough investigation.

Daily Device Management Habits

Tip 1: Check Once a Week

Make it a habit to open the Device Management page once a week. Early detection leads to early resolution.

Tip 2: Remove Old Devices Promptly

After getting a new phone, remember to remove your old phone's authorization in Device Management. Even if the old phone has been factory reset, the old records in the list should still be deleted to keep the list clean.

Tip 3: Use Fixed Devices

Try to log into Binance only on your own devices. Avoid logging in on public computers or other people's phones. If you must log in on another device, remove it from Device Management immediately after you are done.

Tip 4: Enable Login Notifications

Enable the login notification feature in security settings. You will receive a push notification and email notification whenever a new device logs in, allowing you to detect anomalies promptly.

Device Management Working Together with Other Security Features

Device Management is not an isolated security feature — it works best in conjunction with other security tools:

Technical Background: How Does Device Recognition Work?

For readers with a technical interest, here is a brief explanation of how Binance's device recognition works:

1. Device fingerprint: A unique identifier is generated by collecting the device's hardware information (model, screen resolution), system information (OS version), browser information, etc.
2. IP address: The login IP address is recorded and geolocated using an IP database
3. Cookie / Token: An encrypted token is stored on the device to identify its identity
4. Behavioral analysis: The system analyzes user behavior patterns such as typing speed and swipe habits

When the system detects a new device fingerprint, it triggers additional security verification (such as email confirmation). This is why logging in from a new device requires more verification steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the device list contain a device name I don't recognize?

Sometimes the same device may display different names under different network environments, or the device identifier may change after an APP update. If the login time and location match your usage history, there is usually no cause for concern.

Will removing a device affect my other security settings?

No. Removing a device only forces that device to log out. It does not affect your Google Authenticator, bound email, phone number, or any other security settings.

Can I limit the number of devices logged in simultaneously?

Binance does not currently provide an explicit device count limit setting, but the system will trigger a security alert when it detects an unusual number of simultaneous device logins.

Does using a VPN affect what Device Management displays?

Yes. When using a VPN, the device's login IP and location will display as the VPN server's location rather than your real location. This may cause you to see what appears to be an "unusual" geographic location in the device list, when it is actually your own login record.

Summary

Device Management is a security feature that many users overlook, yet it is extremely important. It gives you complete visibility into how your account is being accessed and serves as the first line of defense for detecting unauthorized logins. Open the Binance APP right now and check your device list — you may find some surprising "old friends."
