How to Recover Binance Account
There are a few different ways to go about recovering a Binance account that has been lost, hacked, or banned. In this article, we will cover the steps you need to take to recover your Binance account.
Recovering a lost Binance account requires a lot of patience.
If you lost the password to your Binance Account or lost your recovery seed and you are unable to recover your Binance account, there are several options you can employ to get access to your Binance account again.
However, to recover a Binance account, one has to first outline the main cause of the loss.
Was it that your account was banned?
Did you mistakenly delete your Binance account?
Well, I covered several options here.
Let’s start with the chronic question.
How to Recover a Deleted Binance Account
If your Binance account was deleted whether mistakenly or not, it is impossible to recover it.
So if the account you are trying to recover is a deleted account, I am sorry to inform you that you can’t access it again.
Well, so far, we haven’t heard of anyone able to recover a deleted Binance account but if you have some findings in it, you can always reach out to their customer support.
How to Recover a Lost Binance Account (Lost Login Details)
If you simply lost your login details to your Binance account, then there are several options to recover the details and gain access to it.
Also it might be time for you to think about changing your password on other sites you use.
Why?
When you use the same password for Binance for other sites as well, you’re vulnerable to attacks and hacks.
Because sometimes data breaches occur and if you’re not careful, your password on other sites might be breached thus making your Binance account vulnerable to attacks..
The idea is not to start using different passwords for different sites as that is not also advisable but to make sure that whatever password you use should be very unique and also strong.
Now the steps to recover a lost Binance account is subdivided into two.
Firstly, for those who forgot their Gmail/mobile number, then secondly for those who forgot their password
We will be treating the former first and the latter later in this post.
I forgot my Gmail/mobile number
If you forgot the gmail/mobile number that you used for your registration on Binance, then its not a big deal.
What you need to do is as follow:
1 Think of your frequently used mobile number or Gmail
If you only forgot your number/gmail, then chances are that your frequently used email might be the one.
So you have to think about the email/mobile number that you use the most.
2 Check your mails
Whenever you register/sign up on any platform, you’ll always get mail.
So if you are the type of person that does not delete important emails, then you just have to search your mailbox.
And you should also make sure to check your spam folder as well because not all emails are received through your mailbox.
3 Trial and error
If you’re not still sure of which Gmail/mobile number you used, then you may have to use the “trial and error” method.
What this implies is that:
You will have to pick your numbers one by one and try them with your password to see the original one.
Binance will tell you whether you ever opened an account with them via that number or email.
I forgot my password?
Are you stuck thinking how can I recover my account after forgetting my password?
Then you don’t need to be worked up or harsh on yourself, because it is a very common occurrence.
And we can sort it out together.
Let’s dive in.
1 Open the Binance app/website
To recover your password, you first need to open the Binance app the usual way.
2 Click on “forgot password?”
Now Instead of filling the space provided for your login details, check the text written below the password box.
It reads “forgot password?” Click on it.
Then Click on “continue”
NB: Please note that for security reasons, withdrawals from your account will be suspended for 24 hours after a password reset.
3 Type in your email/mobile number
Now the next thing to decide is to check whether you used a number or an email to register with Binance.
Whatever you used then, type it in the box provided.
Then click on “Next”.
4 Complete the verification puzzle
This is just meant to detect if you are a robot or a real human with blood in your veins.
So you just have to drag the puzzle to the right place.
5 Enter the verification code.
If the Gmail/phone number you entered is correct, you’ll receive a six-digit verification code to verify if you’re the owner of the account.
Copy it and enter it into the space provided for you.
Click “Next”.
NOTE: If your account is registered with an email and you have enabled SMS 2FA( 2 Factor authentication), you can reset your password via your mobile number.
Likewise, if your account is registered with a mobile number and you have enabled email 2FA, you can reset the login password using your email.
6 Reset a new unique password
Reset your password making sure it is a strong one.
A strong password consists of letters, numbers and symbols.
We also advise writing your password in a diary or secret book in case the same repeats itself.
7 Log in to your account
Your password has been changed successfully.
Go ahead and use your new password to log in to your account

The first thing you should do after being banned is to withdraw all of your coins to a new exchange. This helps keep your funds out of the hands of hackers and protects you from being banned in the future.
You can use the Binance Exchange or any other exchange that supports fiat deposits and withdrawals. Coinbase, Bittrex, Binance, Kucoin, and Gdax are a few of the many exchanges that offer this service.
If you are banned because of abnormal activities on your account, then you have to reach out to their customer support for help.
But if you’re banned because you live in the US, then there is nothing you could do.

After that, you can proceed to look for other platforms that can be compared to Binance to continue your crypto journey.
