How to Register on OKX via Mobile QR Code Scan?
You can quickly log into an existing OKX account on your computer using the "scan" method, but the registration process itself is recommended to be completed manually on the App or web page. Scanning the QR code is a shortcut for web login and cannot directly replace the registration process.

Prerequisites: Understanding the Role of "Mobile QR Code Scan" on OKX
On OKX, mobile QR code scanning serves two different purposes. Do not get them confused:
Scan to Register: Usually refers to entering the registration page via a "referral QR code" or "download QR code" shared by others, but you still need to fill in the information manually to complete registration.
Scan to Login: This is the real "scan and go" scenario — use the mobile app to scan the QR code on the web page to log into the desktop account directly, without entering a password and verification code.
If you want to "complete registration by scanning", there is currently no one-step registration by scanning your face or ID card; you still need to go through the standard registration process. If you want to "quickly log in by scanning", the steps below are for you.
Step 1: Open the OKX Official Website on Your Computer and Find the QR Code Login Entry
What to do: Open the OKX official website in your computer browser and switch to the "Scan to Login" mode on the login page.
How to do it:
Enter www.okx.com into the browser and go to the OKX official website.
Click the [Log In] button in the upper right corner of the page.
In the login pop-up, do not enter your password directly; find and click [Scan to Login] or the QR code icon.
A dynamic QR code will appear on the computer screen at this point.
How to know if it's done: The computer screen displays an OKX QR code with the message "Please scan with OKX App".
⚠️ The website QR code usually has a validity period (about 60 seconds). If it expires, click the refresh button to generate a new one.
Step 2: Open the OKX App on Your Phone and Find the Scan Function
What to do: Launch the scanner in the mobile app.
How to do it:
Open the OKX App on your phone and make sure you are logged into your account.
There are usually two places to access the scan function:
Top right corner of the homepage: Tap the "Scan" icon (a square similar to a QR code) at the top right of the homepage.
User Center: Go to "User Center" or "Security Settings" and find the "Scan" function.
Allow the app to use the camera permission (if not yet authorized).
How to know if it's done: The scan frame appears on the phone screen; just aim it at the QR code on the computer.
Step 3: Scan the QR Code and Confirm Login
What to do: Use your phone to scan the QR code on the computer screen and confirm the login authorization on your phone.
How to do it:
Align the phone's scan frame with the QR code on the computer screen, keep a moderate distance, and ensure the QR code is fully within the frame.
After a successful scan, the app will pop up a login confirmation prompt showing device information and login location.
Verify the information is correct, then tap [Confirm Login] or [Authorize].
The computer page will refresh automatically and log directly into your OKX account.
How to know if it's done: The computer has logged into your OKX account, showing your assets and trading functions.
Step 4 (If You Need to Register): Download the App from Official Channels and Register Manually
What to do: If you don't have an OKX account yet, you need to create one through the standard registration process.
How to do it:
Open the OKX official website www.okx.com in your mobile browser or on your computer, and click [Download App] to get the official installation package.
After installation, open the app and tap [Register]. During registration, you must bind both phone number and email.
Follow the prompts to enter your email and phone number, receive and fill in the verification code, and set a password (at least 8 characters, containing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters).
After registration, be sure to go to [Identity Verification] to complete KYC, otherwise you cannot deposit, withdraw, or trade.
How to know if it's done: The account has been created, and the KYC status shows "Verified".
Common Reasons for Failure
QR Code Expired: The website QR code has a short validity period. If it expires, refresh and try again.
App Not Logged In or Outdated: QR code login requires the mobile app to be logged into an account. Scanning the code while logged out will redirect to the login page, and authorization cannot be completed.
Camera Permission Not Granted: The app cannot access the camera, so the scan function is unavailable. You need to enable camera permission for the OKX App in your phone's system settings.
Confusing "Scan to Register" with "Scan to Login": Scan to register usually leads to a registration page via an invitation QR code, but you still need to fill in the information manually; scan to login is the true "scan and go".
Risk Reminder
Verify the Source of the QR Code: Before scanning the QR code, confirm it comes from the official page at www.okx.com. Do not scan QR codes sent by strangers or from unknown sources to prevent phishing attacks.
Confirm Authorization Information: When confirming login on your phone, check the device information and IP location displayed on the page to ensure it is your own operation.

How to Confirm You Have Completed the Operation Correctly
Login Scenario: The computer page has automatically redirected to the account homepage, with your account name or avatar displayed in the upper right corner. The [Device Management] page in the mobile app will record the device information of this login.
Registration Scenario: You have successfully logged into the app, and your account has completed KYC verification, allowing you to view your balance and trading functions normally.
