Suggested Path
- First open the OKX security settings page, locate the anti-phishing code section and confirm that your email still receives notifications normally.
- Choose a phrase that is easy for you to recognize but does not expose private details or resemble your password.
- After saving it, check future OKX emails for the exact code before trusting the message.
- Even if an email looks normal, avoid suspicious links and verify inside the official site directly.

When should I update the code?
Update it when you suspect email exposure or want a stronger recognition pattern.
