Passwords leak; two-factor makes leaking insufficient
An account protected only by a password falls completely once that password leaks. A second factor means the attacker also needs your device.
OKX typically supports authenticator apps and SMS, with the app more reliable and SMS best kept as backup.
What to prepare before you start
These five things cover almost every delay people run into: A phone able to install an authenticator app.
Paper or an offline vault for backup codes. Working email and phone on the account.
Time for a test login once binding is done.
Bind and back up, in the right order
The rule is back up first, bind second: Open the security centre, choose authenticator, and copy the key before scanning anything.
Scan with the app and confirm it produces six-digit codes. Submit one code to test and confirm the binding works.
Write backup codes offline, stored separately from the key. When switching phones, import the key on the new device before signing out of the old one.
Fees, limits and processing times
Numbers change from time to time, always confirm on the official fee page before you commit size: Set a separate fund password alongside Google Authenticator, then enable the anti-phishing code and address whitelisting.
Review login devices regularly and expect extra checks after changing SIM, email or device. The help centre and in-app support cover most issues; for fund-related cases open a ticket and keep the reference number.
Nobody from real support will ask for your password, 2FA code or seed phrase - treat anyone who does as a scammer. Official entry: use okx.com or your own bookmark, and check the domain letter by letter - look-alike domains are the most common phishing trick here.
Install the app from App Store, Google Play or the official OKX download page; Android users should avoid APK files shared through chat groups.
The OKX-specific part
OKX pairs login two-factor with a separate fund password; set both since they serve different purposes. Clear authorisations for old devices to shrink your exposure.
Frequently asked questions
I lost my phone.
Now what
Restore from backup codes or the stored key on a new device; without either you face the account recovery process.
SMS or app codes
Prefer the app. SMS can be intercepted or delayed, so keep it as backup.
Can I turn two-factor off
Yes, but it is ill-advised; you would leave only the password in place.

Use the app first and SMS as backup only. Anyone asking for your code is scamming you.
