Authorization of new device? Binance

Has there been any security update for how to log in to Binance? Huh

I have about a week and a new request to verify a new device whenever I log in.
I have not modified the security settings on my account, I use the same VPN (Dedicated IP address,) the same browser, WiFi, and the device, so I get a new code verification even if I log out and log in again.

I haven't used the website for some time but I believe that has always been a thing with the web app. Have you tried using the desktop app instead to see if you have the same behavior? It should keep you logged but if you ever log out, you will be asked to re-enter your credentials (including 2FA).

I haven't experienced this so far on Binance.com.

Have you tried to check your account's activity log and see if there was any unusual activity in the past few days?
You could also opt using apps both mobile and PC trading terminals that won't give you a lot of headache like the web site.

This happened to me already, for a new device and for new IP address

I just received an email and I authorized the new device. Not a problem for me, and I see no downside in this security step, which is quite common among exchanges.

The email was like that.

Authorize New Device
You recently attempted to sign in to your Binance account from a new device or location. As a security measure, we require additional confirmation before allowing access to your Binance account.

Did you do anything with the cookies or other browser privacy settings? I think this might happen if you e.g. delete cookies or use private/incognito window.

Binance always do that for VPN user for security reason. I always encounter this same issue whenever I open it using my Google chrome browser with VPN using my laptop while I don't have any problem when I'm browsing using my office desktop without VPN.

I always received this on my email every time I log in well I'm always using incognito mode to avoid any plugins to logs my keystroke or logs my activity.

The reason may be because they don't detect any cookies from your browser that is why they always send you "Authorization of new device".
Like bitmover said there is no problem with the Binance security I actually enabled all security verification email, number and 2FA so for me it's impossible for someone to hack my account on Binance.

I doubt about whitelist my IP to get rid of this but it seems that they don't have it on their settings. Whitelisting is only available for withdrawal addresses.

I always delete cookies and all data from previous sessions. In the past, I was asked to verify my 2FA code.

AFAIK Binance uses browser details and IP address to identify the user. Verification of a new device has not been requested even though I always delete cookies.

Generally, I tried to log out and log in without deleting cookies, and email verification/new device was requested.

Yes, there is nothing new or abnormal, the same previous data.

What I do with Binance is just scanning the QR presented on their device and just authorize the login. They have a great app so you wouldn't have to continuously login on your phone. And when you are logging on a desktop, then it wouldn't be so hard with all the process.

I do not know whether it is allowed for those in UAE to use Binance but i dont have verified account. I am using it with dedicated IP address.
I did not download that app on the phone because I am less careful when using my phone and may open it by mistake using my real IP address.

The problem still persists, it looks like I'm going to download their app on my desktop.

AFAIK, it's not prohibited but, if you switch to your real IP address at this point, you might trigger their system and be required to verify your identity, especially if you've been using the same VPN since day 1.

Does your VPN have static or dynamic IP address? Because if it is the one where it change frequently then that might be the reason why Binance doesn't recognize your device as it changes frequently if not it may be your habit on deleting/clearing cookies as it removes your link with Binance as well. IMO this is a good practice for safety and this is just a little sacrifice for the added safety you are having with your cryptocurrencies.

For me is the mobile that is proving to be a pain in the ass.

I've never had a single problem with the web version but for the last 2-3 weeks the app totally dislikes any IP change, my mobile carrier seems to have a bad habit of changing my IP to a different class when exiting some cells coverage areas,( there is a small spot with no good 4G connection between my home and workplace) and every time I get this security alert. It's become so annoying I sometimes choose not to use it anymore and wait till I get home as once it goes through the WiFi I haven't encountered any problem or alert.

But although annoying it's better to have this paranoia level of security than none.

@hugeblack
Do you have a kill switch activated with your VPN client?
Is it possible that your real IP leaked and their system might not like this?
