Learn how to restore your OKX Wallet using your recovery phrase. This guide covers complete OKX Wallet restoration across all platforms.
When you create an OKX Wallet, you receive a 12-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the master key to your OKX Wallet and can restore access on any device.
The OKX Wallet recovery phrase uses the BIP39 standard, meaning your OKX Wallet can be restored using any compatible wallet software. However, for best results, use the official OKX Wallet application.
First, download OKX Wallet on your new device. Visit the official website and install OKX Wallet for your platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android).
Launch OKX Wallet and select the "Restore from recovery phrase" option instead of creating a new wallet.
Carefully enter your 12-word OKX Wallet recovery phrase in the correct order. Double-check each word before proceeding.
Create a new password for this OKX Wallet installation. This password encrypts your wallet file on this specific device.
Once restored, your OKX Wallet will display all your cryptocurrency holdings. Verify that your balances match your expectations.
If OKX Wallet rejects your recovery phrase, verify each word carefully. The BIP39 word list has specific spellings. Common mistakes include similar words or incorrect word order.
If your OKX Wallet shows different balances after restoration, you may have entered the wrong recovery phrase or are using a different wallet derivation path.
If you've lost your OKX Wallet recovery phrase and cannot access your wallet, unfortunately there is no way to recover your funds. This is why secure backup is critical.
You can restore your OKX Wallet on multiple devices simultaneously using the same recovery phrase. Each installation of OKX Wallet will have its own password but share the same underlying accounts.
This allows you to use OKX Wallet on desktop, mobile, and browser extension simultaneously, all accessing the same cryptocurrency holdings.
