Scheduling an OKX security review after you return from a trip
Travel tends to loosen security habits. You may sign in to OKX from a hotel network, a borrowed charger may have prompted a trust dialog, or you may have approved a login on a new tablet in a hurry. None of these is necessarily a problem, but they leave traces that are worth reviewing once you are home. A short, scheduled security review after every trip catches anything unusual while it is still recent and easy to explain. This guide describes such a review for OKX users. Menu names and options can change, so follow the OKX help centre for exact steps.
Put it in the calendar
When you book a trip, add a thirty-minute security review to your calendar for the first or second day after returning. Doing it on a fixed day prevents it from being forgotten once normal routines resume. Bring a short list of anything unusual you remember from the trip, such as unexpected prompts or alerts.
Review sessions and devices
Open the security section and look at active sessions and recognised devices. Sign out of sessions you no longer need, particularly from hotel or public networks, and remove devices you used only temporarily. Check the security log for logins or changes during the trip and make sure each one matches something you did.
Check keys, addresses and alerts
Review API keys, the withdrawal allowlist and any recent withdrawals. Confirm that nothing was added or changed without your knowledge. Check that notification settings are still active on your phone, since travel and roaming can change them. If you changed your phone number or email during the trip, make sure the account details are up to date.
Refresh credentials if in doubt
If anything looks unfamiliar, or you used a device or network you are unsure about, change your OKX password from a trusted device and review your second factor. Contact official support through the app if you find activity you did not perform. Ignore messages claiming to be from support that arrive after your trip and ask for codes or passwords. A calm review at home is far easier than an urgent recovery later, so keep the appointment even when the trip went smoothly.
