Welcome to the OKX blog! This guide will help you change your password step by step.
OKX is a popular website for trading cryptocurrency. As the world of crypto keeps changing,
it is very important to keep your account safe by updating your password.
Whether you forgot your password or just want a new one for extra safety, this guide will help you do it quickly and easily.

Why Resetting Your Password Is Important

Changing your password helps keep your account safe from people who might try to steal your information.
Here are some good reasons to update your password:

• It stops others from getting into your account.
• It makes it much harder for hackers to guess your password.
• It helps keep your personal information and money safe.

Having a strong password gives you peace of mind. You can feel calm knowing that your digital wallet is secure.

Preparing to Reset Your OKX Password

Before you change your password, make sure you are ready. Here are some things to do:

• Check your email or phone. You will need them to get a code.
• Keep your backup codes safe if you use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
• Make sure your email or phone information is up to date.

You may need to change your password if you forget it, if you think someone may have hacked your account,
or if you have trouble logging in because of unusual activity.

Step-by-Step Guide to Resetting Your OKX Password

Step 1: Go to the Password Reset Page

1. Open your web browser or the OKX app.
2. Go to the login page where you normally enter your username and password.
3. Click on the “Forgot Password” link. This will take you to a page where you can start the password reset process.
4. Enter your email address, phone number, or both, using the same details you registered with OKX.

Step 2: Complete the Verification Process

1. After you start the reset process, check your email or phone for a verification code.
2. Enter the code in the given field on the reset page. (Sometimes you might get the code in both email and text message, so check both.)
3. If you do not see the code right away, wait a few minutes. Also, check your spam or junk folder if you are using email.
4. If you cannot get the code because you no longer have access to your email or phone, click on the “No longer have access?” option and follow the instructions.

Step 3: Create a New Password

1. Now it is time to make a new password. Your new password must be strong and hard for others to guess.
2. Your password should have at least 12 characters and include:
   • Uppercase letters (A, B, C…)
   • Lowercase letters (a, b, c…)
   • Numbers (1, 2, 3…)
   • Special symbols (like ! or @)
3. Do not use simple words or dates like your birthday.
4. Confirm your new password by entering it again. This ensures there are no mistakes.

Step 4: Secure Your Account After Resetting

1. Check your account settings to update other security options such as Two-Factor Authentication.
2. Safely store your new password and any backup codes in a secure place.
3. Watch for any security messages from OKX. If you get any alerts about unfamiliar activity, check your account right away.

Extra Tips for Better Security

• Do not use the same password on many websites. Use a password manager to help keep track of strong passwords.
• Always update your contact information so you can receive reset codes or security alerts.
• Be careful when clicking on links in emails. Always make sure the email is truly from OKX.
