Who This Is For
Use this page if you are working through the security flow and want a faster read before taking the next action inside OKX.
Suggested Path
- First confirm whether you still control the linked email, phone and authenticator because that affects your reset path.
- Then start the reset from the live OKX page instead of any untrusted link or message.
- After the password change, check whether new-device verification, withdrawal waiting periods or extra login protection were triggered.
- Finally review your password storage habits and recheck 2FA, device sessions and email security.
Checks Before You Continue
Review these points before moving on:

- device checks
- post-reset notes

FAQ
Why can withdrawals stay limited after a password reset?
Because security protection may temporarily restrict some actions after a reset.
Do I always need support if I forgot the password?
Not always. If you still control the linked methods, the self-service route may work first.
What should I check after the reset?
Your email, 2FA, device history and any unusual security messages.
