Who This Is For
Use this page if you are working through the app download flow and want a faster read before taking the next action inside OKX.
Suggested Path
- Confirm whether you are signing in with email or phone and keep the device time, network and entered details stable.
- When the code arrives, check the delivery channel, expiry window and input order instead of requesting repeated codes on multiple devices.
- If OKX shows a new-device or security review prompt, finish that trust check before trying to rush into the account home.
- If you plan to switch phones, keep a record of the login method, 2FA state and trusted device setup for smoother future access.

FAQ
What should I check first if the login code does not arrive?
Start with the sign-in method, network stability, email or SMS delay and whether too many code requests were triggered recently.
Does a new-device prompt always mean something is wrong?
Not always. It is often part of normal security verification, but you should still complete the prompt carefully.
What should I do right after the first login?
Finish KYC, security setup and the first account checks before moving into trading, earn or futures.
