Securing Binance account with Token2 FIDO Security keys

Binance is an online exchange where users can trade cryptocurrencies. It supports the most commonly traded cryptocurrencies.
Binance provides a crypto wallet for traders to store their electronic funds. The exchange also has supporting services for users to earn interest or transact using cryptocurrencies.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an optional security feature that requires you, the user, to provide two means of identification in order to access your account.
By default, Binance activates the Email Address Verification method as the primary 2FA method(most profile operations are accompanied by sending a verification code to your email).
Binance allows using Token2 programmable tokens and Token2 Security keys (as an additional method) for two-step verification.
In this guide, we will show how to use Token2 Security keys as an additional method for two-factor authentication. After typing in your password,
just insert your key into a USB port when you’re prompted. Note: This feature appears only after two-factor authentication option is On.
Currently, security keys are only supported on select devices and browsers, so you must first set up two-factor authentication for your Binance account
and select Binance/Google Authenticator or Phone Number Verification.

Requirements:

• A Binance account
• Admin access to enable security keys (not required if security keys are already enabled)
• Modern browser supporting security keys
• A Token2 FIDO security key
