How can I protect my OKX Card and account?
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
