Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I don’t receive the verification code during password change?Check your spam or junk folder for the email. Ensure the registered phone number is active if expecting an SMS. Resend the code after confirming contact details are correct. Contact OKX support if issues persist.

Can I revert to my old password after changing it?Yes, you can reuse a previous password unless the platform enforces a history restriction. However, doing so reduces security. It is better to create a unique, strong password each time.

Is it safe to change my password on public Wi-Fi?No, public networks are vulnerable to interception. Always perform sensitive actions like password changes on secure, private connections to protect your credentials from potential eavesdropping.

Will changing my password log me out of all devices?In most cases, yes. Modifying your password typically invalidates existing sessions. You will need to manually log back in on all trusted devices using the updated credentials.
