Editorial Note
Last reviewed: 3/19/2026
This page is maintained by the BG Trading - OKX Trading & Rebate Guides editorial team and cross-checked against platform rules, product docs and internal topic pages.
If platform rules change, treat the official documentation as the final source of truth.
An anti-phishing code is not a login tool. It helps you verify whether an email is really from OKX and works best alongside 2FA and device controls.
Who this guide is for
- Best for users improving account security after signup
- The code helps verify official emails, not logins
- It should complement 2FA and withdrawal controls
Suggested path
- First open the OKX security settings page, locate the anti-phishing code section and confirm that your email still receives notifications normally.
- Choose a phrase that is easy for you to recognize but does not expose private details or resemble your password.
- After saving it, check future OKX emails for the exact code before trusting the message.
- Even if an email looks normal, avoid suspicious links and verify inside the official site directly.

FAQ
Is the anti-phishing code the same as 2FA?
No. 2FA protects login and actions, while the anti-phishing code helps you identify emails.
Will it stop phishing emails from arriving?
No. It helps you detect them, but it does not stop scammers from sending messages.
When should I update the code?
Update it when you suspect email exposure or want a stronger recognition pattern.
Next move
Once you enter OKX, use the live platform page as the final source for fees, eligibility and campaign rules.
