Scenario 1: The email is yours and you remember the password
Simply log in directly — there is no need to re-register. If you have forgotten your password, click 'Forgot Password' on the login page, receive a reset link via email, set a new password, and you can access your account.
After logging in, if you primarily use your phone number to log in and want to keep this email as a backup, you can confirm the bound email in 'Security Settings'. If you wish to change to a different email, select 'Modify Email Address' in the security settings.
Scenario 2: The email is yours, but you are unsure if you registered before
First, try the 'Forgot Password' process. If you receive a password reset email, the account exists — simply reset the password and log in. If you do not receive the email:
Check your spam folder — OKX verification emails are sometimes filtered to 'Spam' or 'Promotions' folders. The sender domains are
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. andThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .Confirm the email spelling is correct, especially common international email domains (Gmail, Outlook) and their suffixes.
If still not received, try clearing your browser cache or using incognito mode to repeat the process.
Scenario 3: The email is yours, but you want to register with a different email
Since the email is already occupied and you do not wish to recover the old account, simply register a new account with a different email. When registering, note:
Use a commonly used international email (Gmail, Outlook, QQ Mail, etc.) to ensure higher delivery rates, and avoid niche email services.
If the system prompts 'Email Already Registered', it will suggest using an unused contact method to re-register.
Scenario 4: The email belongs to someone else — you just typed it incorrectly
The most common case is a typing error. Carefully check the email spelling you entered: are there missing characters, extra spaces, or did you write 'gmail.con' instead of 'gmail.com'? If it is a typo, correct it and resubmit.
Scenario 5: The email was registered by a previous owner or someone else, and you want to 'take it over' for yourself
OKX does not support directly unbinding someone else's email and binding it to you, as this involves identity verification issues. If the account bound to this emailhas not completed identity verification (KYC), you can log into that account and, through security settings, 'migrate' the email to your own account. After migration, the original account will be closed, butensure the original account has no assets, otherwise assets will be lost.
If the original account has already completed KYC, migration is not possible.
