Restore OKX Wallet

Learn how to restore your OKX Wallet using your recovery phrase. This guide covers complete OKX Wallet restoration across all platforms.

Understanding OKX Wallet Recovery

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.

How to Restore OKX Wallet

Step 1: Download OKX Wallet

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).

Step 2: Select "Restore Wallet"

Launch OKX Wallet and select the "Restore from recovery phrase" option instead of creating a new wallet.

Step 3: Enter Recovery Phrase

Carefully enter your 12-word OKX Wallet recovery phrase in the correct order. Double-check each word before proceeding.

Step 4: Set New Password

Create a new password for this OKX Wallet installation. This password encrypts your wallet file on this specific device.

Step 5: Verify Restoration

Once restored, your OKX Wallet will display all your cryptocurrency holdings. Verify that your balances match your expectations.

OKX Wallet Recovery Phrase Best Practices

Protecting Your Recovery Phrase

  • Never store your OKX Wallet recovery phrase digitally

Troubleshooting OKX Wallet Restoration

Invalid Recovery Phrase Error

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.

Missing Funds After Restore

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.

Lost Recovery Phrase

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.

Multi-Device OKX Wallet Restoration

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.
