Here's the short version: Binance's "Security" page includes a "Device Management" feature that lets you see every device currently logged in and log all of them out at once. Clearing your device list at least once a month is a basic security habit — if you spot an unfamiliar device, log it out, change your password, and enable 2FA immediately. Start on the Binance Official Site to reach device management; on mobile, the path is the same in the Official Binance App; iPhone users who can't install it should check our iOS Installation Guide first.
Plenty of users have logged into Binance from an internet cafe, a friend's computer, or a hotel business center and simply forgotten to log out afterward. Those sessions can stay active for months. Device management exists specifically so you can batch-clear these leftover login traces.
Each entry in Binance's device list includes:
A normal user's list usually has 2-5 entries: your own computer, your phone's app, and maybe a work computer or tablet. If you see far more entries than that, or a device you don't recognize at all, it's time to be cautious.
Log into the Binance website → your avatar in the top-right corner → "Account" → "Security" in the left menu → scroll down to find "Device Management" or "Authorized Devices."
App users: avatar in the top-left corner → "Security" → "Device Management."
The page shows every device currently logged in. Note that the "current device" row is specially marked (usually labeled "This Device" or with a green checkmark) — that's the one you're using right now.
Sort by "most recently active" — entries further down the list are more likely to be forgotten old devices.
Signs of a suspicious device:
Sign 1: An Unfamiliar Device Type
You only use an iPhone and a Windows computer, but the list shows an Android phone or a Mac — that could mean your account was compromised.
Sign 2: An Unfamiliar IP or Region
You normally live in one city, but the list shows logins from another city or overseas, and you weren't traveling at the time — that could mean your account was compromised.
Sign 3: An Unusual Browser
You only use Chrome and the Binance app, but the list shows an obscure browser or something like Tor — that's very likely a hacking tool.
Sign 4: A Login in the Middle of the Night
You're asleep between 2 and 5 a.m., but the list shows a login at that time and it's not a routine API call — that could be a suspicious login.
If you find even one of these signs, follow the steps below immediately.
For each suspicious device:
If the device being logged out belongs to a hacker, their session expires instantly and they'd need your password again to get back in (they may already have it, which is why you need to change your password right away — see below).
If there are multiple suspicious devices, or you're not sure which ones are yours, it's simplest to log out of everything at once.
Click "Log Out of All Devices" at the top of the page. The system will warn that "this will log out all sessions, including the current device." Confirm, enter your 2FA code, and submit.
Every session is cleared instantly, including the one you're currently using — you'll be kicked back to the login page.
This is the cleanest approach: it clears out forgotten sessions and any potential hijacked sessions all at once.
After being kicked back to the login page:
Changing your password is the critical step. If a hacker already knew your old password, logging out their session without changing your password just lets them log right back in.
After clearing your devices, run through a complete self-check:
Doing this once a month keeps your account security at a high level.
| Step | Action | Time | Importance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open device management | 30 sec | Required |
| 2 | Review the full list | 1 min | Required |
| 3 | Identify suspicious devices | 2-3 min | Required |
| 4 | Log out suspicious devices individually | 1 min each | As needed |
| 5 | Log out of all devices at once | 30 sec | Recommended |
| 6 | Log back in and change password | 3 min | Strongly recommended |
| 7 | Full security self-check | 5 min | Strongly recommended |
Some things look suspicious but are actually perfectly normal:
Case 1: You Logged In From Multiple Browsers
If you've logged into Binance from both Chrome and Edge, you'll see two entries. This is normal.
Case 2: You've Logged Into Both the Binance App and the Website
You'll see one entry for the app and one for the web. Normal.
Case 3: You Switched Phones and Forgot to Log Out the Old One
The app session on your old phone is still active. You should log it out, but it's not a breach.
Case 4: An API Call Showing Up as a "Device"
Some versions display API calls in the device list. If you see an unfamiliar IP paired with an API name, first confirm whether you created that API key yourself.
Case 5: A Support Session From Remote Assistance
If you've contacted Binance support for remote assistance in the past (in practice, real Binance support never asks to remotely log into your account), you might see a support-side login entry. But legitimate Binance support almost never needs this.
The "login IP location" shown in device management is based on public IP lookups, and it has real accuracy limits:
So IP alone isn't a 100% reliable signal — combine "device type + login time + behavior" for a more accurate judgment.
After a one-click logout, there's no cooldown — you can log back in immediately.
But if you've also changed your password and enabled 2FA, a hacker using your old password will fail to get back in. That's exactly the point of the "log out + change password + enable 2FA" combo.
Sub-accounts under a master account have their own independent device management.
Institutional or team accounts should assign an admin to periodically clean up sub-account devices.
Binance has default session timeout rules:
| Platform | Default Timeout |
|---|---|
| Website | Auto-logout after 30 minutes of inactivity |
| App | Requires re-login after 7 days of inactivity |
| API | Never times out (until manually deleted) |
These are passive logouts and don't fully substitute for actively logging out of all devices yourself. You still need to clean up your device list periodically.
Q: Will logging out of all devices affect my open orders? A: No. Limit and stop-loss orders sitting in the trading engine don't depend on your session — they stay active whether you're logged in or not.
Q: Will logging out of all devices affect sub-accounts? A: No. The master account's "log out of all devices" only clears the master account's own sessions; each sub-account needs to be logged out separately.
Q: Do I need to redo KYC after logging back in? A: No. KYC is tied to the account, not the session — an already-verified account stays verified after logging back in.
Q: Will API calls get logged out too? A: No. APIs authenticate with their own independent key, not your login session. To disable an API, you need to delete it in "API Management."
Q: Can a logged-out device still view my account? A: No. Once logged out, that device's cookies are invalidated — it would need to log in with your password again to see anything.
Q: Is it okay to find an unfamiliar device but not change my password yet? A: That's risky. Even if you log out the unfamiliar device, a hacker who has your password can just log back in. Always do all three at once: log out, change your password, and enable 2FA.
Q: Do I need to log out of all devices every time I return from a trip? A: Not necessarily. If you only used your own regular devices, there's nothing to do. If you logged in from a hotel or shared computer, clear that specific entry (or do a full logout) as soon as you get back.
Q: Will I need to do facial recognition again after logging back in? A: Usually not, unless Binance's risk system detects something unusual about the login (a sudden IP or device change), in which case it may trigger extra verification.
Make it a habit to check device management once a month — it only takes a few seconds, but it can help you catch signs of a compromised account early.
