A ten-minute monthly check of the OKX security centre for Swiss users

Security settings tend to drift over time. A phone gets replaced but stays on the trusted list, an API key for a tool you tried once is still active, an old withdrawal address remains whitelisted. None of this is dangerous on its own, but together it creates openings you do not need. A short monthly visit to the OKX security centre keeps things tidy and helps you spot anything unusual early. This guide gives users in Switzerland a ten-minute routine covering sign-in activity, verification methods, withdrawal addresses, API keys and notifications, always done from the official app.

Sign-in activity and devices

Open the security centre in the official app and look at recent sign-ins and the list of trusted devices. Remove devices you no longer use and end any session you do not recognise. Unusual times or devices are worth investigating even if nothing else seems wrong, because they are often the first sign of a problem.

Verification methods

Check which second factor is active and whether it is still the strongest available to you. If SMS is still your main method, consider switching to an authenticator app or passkey. Confirm you know where the backup key for your authenticator is stored, and that the linked email account has its own strong protection.

Withdrawal addresses and API keys

Review the withdrawal whitelist and delete addresses you no longer need. Then open the API key list, remove unused keys and confirm that none has withdrawal permission without a clear reason. Any address or key you did not create should be treated as a security incident straight away.

Notifications and a note

Make sure security alerts reach an email and device you check daily, and set an anti-phishing code if you have not already. Finish by writing the date and any changes in a short note. Over months this log makes it easy to see what changed and when, and it reminds you to repeat the check. A recurring calendar reminder on the first weekend of each month is usually enough to make the habit stick.

Risk boundary: OKX Switzerland Guide

Digital assets are volatile and derivatives can amplify losses. This website has no login, wallet connection, deposit form or customer-support chat. A referral link only records attribution; it does not guarantee access, pricing, rewards, approval or investment results. Availability can differ by residence, legal entity and product, so no regional access is assumed from language or branding alone.

Scenario checkpoint

• Review recent sign-ins and remove devices you no longer use every month
• Confirm your second factor is the strongest available and know where the backup is
• Delete withdrawal addresses and API keys that you no longer need
• Treat any address or key you did not create as an immediate security incident
• Make sure alerts reach you daily and log the date of each monthly check
