Comprehensive guide to OKX account security settings: core operations of Google verification, secret protection, and anti-theft numbers

After newbies have registered for OKX, don't rush to use the features indiscriminately.

If account security is not done well, it will be a big trouble if it is stolen.

Whether it is Google verification, secret security, anti-theft settings.

Taking a few minutes to get it done will avoid most scams.

The following are all practical and practical things. You can tell them at a glance.

1. Turn on Google Authentication (the core of account theft, must-do)

. This is the most effective anti-theft method and is a hundred times safer than SMS verification.

First in the mobile app store, search for Google Verifier and download the official version.

Don't download the wrong copycat version, and look for the authentic icon.

Open the OKX APP, click on "Assets" in the lower right corner, and then nod your head to enter the personal center.

Find [Security Center], select [Google Verify], and click to open.

A QR code and a string of backup keys will pop up on the page.

Here's the point. Don't be lazy at this step.

The key must be copied by hand and stored in a private place.

Don't just take screenshots. If your phone is lost, the screenshots are useless. The key is the only life-saving certificate.

Open Google Verifier, click the + sign in the upper right corner, and scan the code to bind to your OKX account.

After binding, OKX will allow the 6-bit dynamic code in the verifier to be entered.

If you lose correctly, Google verification will start successfully.

After logging in and transferring money, you have to fill in this Captcha. Others can't steal it.

2. Account security settings (lost numbers can be retrieved, must be done)

It is not enough to have Google verification alone, but the security must also be complete.

Go back to the security center and find [Security Issues] and [Account Binding].

First bind your common mobile phone number and email address, which must be the ones you use frequently.

Don't use a temporary number. If you don't receive the Captcha later, the account will be abolished directly.

Set up confidential questions and keep the answers in mind.

Don't use things like birthday or mobile phone number that are too simple and easy to guess.

Also change a high-intensity login password.

The password should be case + number + symbol, not the same as other platform passwords.

Make sure you write it down and don't tell anyone.

3. Advanced anti-theft number operation (icing on the cake, recommended)

enables Login Protection.

In the Security Center, open [Login Verification].

Every time you change your device and log in, you must verify your mobile phone number or Google Captcha.

Turn off irrelevant automatic login and secret-free login.

Don't log in to your OKX account for public devices or unfamiliar WiFi.

Set the fund password separately from the login password.

When transferring money or withdrawing cash, you must enter the fund password to provide an extra layer of protection.

4. A security pit that novices must avoid (lesson in blood and tears)

1. Google verification keys must not take screenshots and save mobile phones or WeChat.

The mobile phone is lost, the number is gone, the key is not backed up, and the account cannot be recovered.

2. Captcha and password, and never tell others if you beat it to death.

Even if the other party says they are customer service or platform staff, they are all scammers.

3. Don't click on unfamiliar links or scan unfamiliar QR codes.

The phishing page created by scammers is exactly the same as the official website of OKX. Information is stolen as soon as you enter it.

4. Don't share accounts or lend accounts to others.

Not even acquaintances. It is difficult to hold accountable if something goes wrong.

5. Don't trust proxy operations and settings.

Make all safety settings yourself, which is the safest.

5. Finally, I will continue to say a few words about

OKX account security. It is not about luck, but about details.

Google verification, secret protection, and fund password are all in one set.

Don't click on links randomly or leak information.

The account will be stable and you don't have to worry.

These operations are simple and can be done in a few minutes. Don't be lazy for novices.
