Using stablecoins for everyday payments makes strong security habits essential. The goal is simple: keep your account secure and minimize exposure if something goes wrong. Most account issues become much easier to handle when security basics are already in place.

What should I do to protect my OKX Card and account?

1. Secure your OKX account first

  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

  • Use a strong, unique password

  • Avoid SMS-only security when stronger options exist

  • Keep recovery methods updated

2. Secure your device

My phone functions as my wallet and card access point.

  • Use strong screen lock (PIN/biometrics)

  • Keep OS updated

  • Avoid unknown APKs or rooted/jailbroken environments

  • Avoid shared/public devices

3. Practice smart spending hygiene

  • Keep only reasonable daily spending balances in Pay feature

  • Separate larger holdings from spending funds

  • Review transactions regularly

4. Use card controls immediately if needed

If something feels wrong:

  • Lock your card immediately

  • Review recent transactions

  • Contact support if you see unauthorized activity

Locking the card helps prevent new purchases even if details are exposed.

5. Watch for common scams

  • Fake support accounts asking for codes

  • Urgent One-Time Password (OTP)/2FA requests

  • Fake login pages

  • Requests to “verify” by sending funds

No legitimate support agent will ever need your 2FA codes.

What if I lose my phone or access?

  • Lock the card as soon as possible

  • Change password and reset security methods

  • Fully re-secure the account before resuming spending
