The Security Verification window appears. If you have not yet linked a mobile phone number or e-mail address to your Binance account, then this window may look different for you.

For greater account security, we recommend enabling the sending of codes via SMS and e-mail.

The Enable Reading checkbox is checked by default.

Check the box Enable spot and margin trading.

Please note: You must immediately copy the keys (API key and Secret key).
