Main TakeawaysNever share your Binance account login credentials with anyone, as your account is tied to your identity, your funds, and your transaction history. Binance is committed to protecting the security of its users and their funds. Read this blog to fully understand the risks associated with sharing or disclosing your account details. Make it a habit to regularly review your active sessions and API keys. Check which devices are currently logged into your Binance account and confirm that you recognize all of them. At Binance, your security and privacy are the foundation of everything we do. One of the most important rules for staying safe is also one of the simplest: never share your Binance account or login credentials with anyone. Not with friends, not with family, not with a business partner. Not for “joint investing,” “profit sharing,” or any “sure-win strategy.”Your Binance account is tied to your identity, your funds, your transaction history, and your security profile. Treating it as a shared resource may feel convenient or “trust-based” in the moment, but it opens the door to serious and often irreversible damage.Why Account Sharing Is So DangerousOn the surface, sharing an account can seem harmless: perhaps a sibling wants to “help” manage your trades, or a friend claims to have a proven strategy but no verified account of their own. Behind that small decision, however, lies a chain of risks you can’t fully manage.The first and most obvious danger is unauthorized access. Once someone else has your login details, they can enter your account at any time, from any device, whether you are aware of it or not. Even a trusted person can accidentally click on a phishing link, store your password insecurely, or leave a device unlocked. If that device is compromised by malware or stolen, your Binance account effectively becomes compromised too.Sharing your login also exposes your personal data. Your account contains sensitive information such as your KYC details, transaction history, and linked payment methods. Anyone with access can see how much you hold, what you trade, and how you move funds. That visibility can invite abuse, pressure, or even blackmail — not just from the person you shared with, but from anyone who accesses their device or email in the future.There is also the very real risk of financial loss. With full access, another person can place trades, enable margin or futures, create or adjust API keys, and withdraw funds. A single impulsive trade, misconfigured bot, or deliberate withdrawal can wipe out your entire balance. If that happens, it is extremely difficult to argue that the activity was “unauthorized” since you willingly gave away your credentials.Finally, account sharing violates Binance’s User Agreement. Our terms are clear: each account is meant to be used and controlled by one individual – the verified owner. Sharing breaches that agreement and may lead to restrictions, investigations, or even permanent suspension. In other words, attempting to make things easier by sharing can end with you losing access altogether.Real-World ConsequencesThese risks are not hypothetical. We see the fallout from account sharing every day.One victim stated: “I trusted my own brother with my login so we could trade together. One day I woke up to find my registered email and phone number changed. All my funds were gone.”In another case: “My friend asked to use my account for a ‘sure-win’ strategy. Two days later my 2FA was disabled, API keys created, and everything withdrawn to an unknown wallet.”These are not rare exceptions or dramatic edge cases; they are everyday examples of what can go wrong once control of an account is shared. Even when the person you trust has good intentions, circumstances change, devices are hacked. Relationships can sour, and arguments happen. What starts as “Let’s grow our money together” can quickly become “My balance is gone and I have no idea what happened.”We have also seen situations where users shared credentials for “joint investing” with partners or business acquaintances. When the relationship soured, one party quietly withdrew funds without consent. In a family setting, a relative with access to the account enabled high-risk strategies, such as leveraging or futures trading, and a short streak of bad trades wiped out everything.Once your login is shared, you are no longer the only one making decisions – but you are still the one who bears the consequences.Your account equals your responsibility. Never delegate that control.How to Protect YourselfStaying safe begins with a firm personal rule: never, under any circumstances, give out your password, 2FA codes, or login access – not in a message, over a call, as a screenshot, and definitely not to someone claiming they can “trade for you” with guaranteed profits.If family members or friends are interested in trading, support them in the right way: encourage them to open and verify their own Binance accounts. This keeps each person’s identity, risk profile, and transaction history separate. It also ensures that everyone is fully responsible for their own decisions and security.Next, make full use of Binance’s security features. Enabling passkeys and customizing your two-factor authentication (2FA) strategy adds multiple layers of protection to your account. Do not rely on a single factor, such as an email and password. Instead, pair your password with strong 2FA options and passkeys so that even if one element is compromised, your account remains difficult to breach.Withdrawal address whitelisting is another powerful safeguard. When you turn this feature on, your account will only allow withdrawals to pre-approved addresses. If an attacker or an untrusted “partner” gains access and tries to send your funds elsewhere, the whitelist acts as a hard barrier. It is the equivalent of deciding in advance which doors your money is allowed to exit through.Make it a habit to regularly review your active sessions and API keys. Check which devices are currently logged into your Binance account and confirm that you recognize all of them. If anything looks unfamiliar — a device, a location, or a login time you don’t remember — revoke that session immediately and change your password. Do the same with API keys: if you see keys you did not create, or no longer use, delete them. Unused or unknown keys are open doors you do not need.Most importantly, listen to your instincts. If someone pressures you to share account access for “joint investing,” “capital pooling,” or “easy profit sharing,” walk away. Legitimate investment opportunities never require you to share your personal exchange account, your credentials, or your security codes. A genuine partner or advisor will respect your need to keep your login private and will operate through proper, transparent arrangements.Remember: your Binance account is not a shared wallet or a group project. It is more like the keys to your house and your bank vault combined. You would not copy those keys for casual acquaintances or hand them out because someone promised fast profit. Your digital keys deserve the same level of protection.Safer Ways to Manage TradingIf you are a qualified user who needs more advanced management options, tools like sub-accounts can offer a safer structure. Rather than giving out your primary login, you can use separate sub-accounts for specific strategies or managed trading setups. This preserves clear boundaries and allows more granular control over permissions, without exposing your main credentials or identity.No matter what configuration you use, the core principle remains the same: keep your login details private at all times. Combine this with strong 2FA, passkeys, and withdrawal whitelisting, and you build a layered defense that is much harder to bypass.Educating the people around you is just as important. Talk to your loved ones about why individual account security matters. Explain that even well-meaning sharing can violate platform rules and put everyone at risk. A family that understands these risks is far less likely to be tricked by scammers or pressured into unsafe shortcuts.Final ThoughtsSecurity is an ongoing habit.
