OKEx login?
It’s okx.com now.
There’s no separate OKEx login any more. OKEx renamed itself OKX in January 2022, the old www.okex.com address was redirected to www.okx.com, and the OKEx app became the OKX app through updates. Sign in at okx.com or in the OKX app with the email or phone number you registered. If an old OKEx app has stopped working, update or reinstall it from an official source — and treat any other okex-looking site as fake until OKX’s own tool says otherwise.
OKEx login in 2026: what each old OKEx address and app turned into
OKEx and OKX are the same company. OKEx announced its new name on 18 January 2022, and OKX’s rebrand announcement puts it in four words: “We are now okx.com.” So there’s no separate OKEx login page, OKEx app or OKEx account to look for any more. Each old piece maps to something on OKX:
| What you remember | What it is now | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The OKEx brand | OKX, the same company under a new name (announced 18 January 2022) | Look for OKX, not OKEx, in app stores and bookmarks |
| www.okex.com | Internet Archive captures from early 2024 show it answering with an HTTP 308 redirect to www.okx.com | Type okx.com yourself rather than following old okex links |
| The OKEx app | The OKX app. Its App Store listing still uses the bundle ID com.okex.OKExAppstoreFull and its Google Play package is com.okinc.okex.gp — the app was renamed through updates, not replaced | Update it, or reinstall it from the official listing |
| Your OKEx account | Your OKX account | Sign in with the email or phone number you registered |
| A site called “okex-something” that isn’t okx.com | Unverified, whatever it looks like | Check it in OKX’s channel verification tool before you type anything |
New to OKX? Tap the button to sign up and referral code OK66688 is added for you, no typing needed. Only if you register inside the app yourself do you enter OK66688 by hand. OKX’s sign-up page shows a 20% trading-fee discount (checked 2026-10-16); new-user rewards are as shown on the event page.
Where is the real OKEx login page now?
On okx.com, or inside the OKX app. OKX’s own anti-phishing advice is to save the official website, https://www.okx.com/, and use only that. Old okex.com links can still turn up in emails, forum posts and search results, so don’t follow them — go to the site directly:
- Type the address yourself. Enter okx.com in the address bar, bookmark it, and use the bookmark from then on. Skip search ads and links in chats.
- Use the details you signed up with. The email or phone number and password from your OKEx days belong to the same account. Finish the two-factor check as usual.
- Forgot the password? Use “Forgot your password” on the official login page. OKX’s help page says a reset triggers a 24-hour restriction on withdrawals, P2P crypto selling and DEX trading, so don’t reset right before you need to move funds.
- Lost the phone or email you registered with? For verified accounts, OKX describes a recovery route that uses ID verification and face recognition. Start it from the official login page or contact support inside the app, never through someone who messages you first.
You may land on a regional OKX site rather than the global one. That’s normal: OKX serves different regions through different OKX companies. Its Risk & Compliance Disclosure (last updated 8 July 2026) lists restricted locations, including Canada, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Malaysia, plus certain US jurisdictions. If OKX doesn’t serve the place you live, don’t try to get around it. A region mismatch is also one of the reasons a referral code can fail — see why OKX says a referral code is invalid.
Why did the old OKEx app stop working, and how do you switch to the OKX app?
The OKEx app didn’t vanish; it turned into the OKX app through updates. On 2026-10-17, Apple’s public lookup listed it as “OKX: Buy Bitcoin BTC & Crypto”, sold by OKX Inc., version 6.193.0 (released 13 October 2026), still under the old bundle ID com.okex.OKExAppstoreFull. Google Play lists the same app under the package com.okinc.okex.gp and the developer OKX INC. If an old OKEx-branded copy on your phone has stopped working, it’s usually one of these:
| What you see | Likely reason | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The app asks you to update, or won’t open at all | Usually an outdated version, or a network or cache problem | Update it (steps below). For an app that asks to update but won’t open, OKX suggests switching to a stable network, clearing the app’s cache and logging back in |
| You can’t find the app in your store | You’re searching for “OKEx”, or the app isn’t listed where you are. On 2026-10-17 Apple’s lookup found no OKX listing in the China mainland or Philippines storefronts | Search for OKX and check that the developer is OKX Inc. If OKX doesn’t serve your location, don’t work around it |
| Your Android phone blocks the install | Phones often flag apps installed from outside Google Play | Use the Google Play listing where it’s available; otherwise use only the installer from the Download page on okx.com. If the phone keeps warning you, stop and check where the file came from; don’t switch off its security or fraud protection to force the install |
| The app opens but you can’t sign in | Wrong details, or a password or two-factor problem | Use “Forgot your password” or the recovery route described above |
How to swap an old OKEx app for the current OKX app
- Back up any wallet first. If you used the built-in wallet, write down its seed phrase or private key before you update or reinstall. OKX warns that lost wallet data can’t be recovered.
- iPhone: in the app, open the Menu (the nine-dot icon), then About OKX → Check for Updates → Update Now. Or update from the App Store listing whose developer is OKX Inc.
- Android: tap the icon at the top left of the home screen, then About OKX → Check for updates. If “Update Now” does nothing, go to okx.com, choose Download and scan the QR code to install the latest version.
- Remove stray copies. Delete any OKEx or OKX app you got from a file-sharing link, a chat group or a third-party download site.
- Sign in and look around. Log in with the same email or phone number, then check your login history for devices you don’t recognise.
How do you spot a fake okex site?
Old brand names are useful to scammers. People still type “okex login” years after the rename, and look-alike domains and search ads are waiting for them. OKX’s help center describes the same trick in text messages: sender names can be spoofed, so a fake message can land in the same SMS thread as genuine OKX alerts. Watch for these warning signs:
| Warning sign | Why it matters | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A domain that mixes “okex” or “okx” with extra words (login, app, support, vip), hyphens, odd endings, or a zero instead of the letter O | Look-alike domains are set up to collect passwords and codes | Don’t log in; open okx.com from your own bookmark |
| A login page you reached from a search ad, short link or chat message | You can’t see where it really leads until you’ve typed your details | Close it and go to okx.com directly |
| A text or email saying your account is locked, a reward is waiting or you must “verify” now | OKX says it will never ask you to call a number or click a link in an SMS to verify your account | Check inside the OKX app instead |
| “Support” that contacts you first, or gives you a phone number to call | OKX says it won’t ask you to transfer assets, share verification codes or trade through private messages | Contact support only from inside the app |
| Anyone asking for your password, two-factor code or seed phrase | Those alone are enough to empty an account | Never share them with anyone, including people who say they’re from OKX |
How to check a link before you trust it
- Open OKX’s channel verification tool: on the web at okx.com/support-center/channel-verification, or in the app under Profile → Get Help → Official Channel Verification.
- Pick the channel type (website, email, phone number, Telegram, X and others) and paste the link, address or handle.
- For emails, OKX’s help page lists the sender domains the tool covers: @okx.com, @mailer1.okx.com, @mailer2.okx.com and @service2.okx.com.
- If the tool can’t confirm it, treat it as suspicious and don’t enter anything.
From OKEx to OKX: what changed and what didn’t
- May 2017: OKCoin moves its futures trading to a new platform, OKEx.com, set up for global blockchain asset trading.
- 18 January 2022: OKEx announces it is changing its name to OKX. The announcement says the apps would be rebranded too, with more changes over the following six to 12 months.
- Early 2024: archived captures show www.okex.com redirecting to www.okx.com.
- October 2026: the iPhone and Android apps are sold as OKX, while their internal IDs still contain “okex”.
What didn’t change is the company itself: the announcement describes renaming the company, not selling or merging it, so there was nothing for users to move. The referral code field didn’t change either. Codes can only be entered when you register, and our OKX referral code help page covers what to do when one doesn’t work.

OKEx login
FAQ.
01Is OKEx the same as OKX?
Yes. OKEx announced on 18 January 2022 that it was changing its name to OKX, and OKX’s own announcement describes it as renaming the company. Same platform, new name; the Chinese name is 欧易.
02Where is the www.okex.com login page now?
On okx.com. Archived captures from early 2024 show www.okex.com redirecting to www.okx.com, but don’t rely on old links: type okx.com yourself or open the OKX app. If an okex-style address doesn’t end up on okx.com, don’t log in there — check it in OKX’s channel verification tool first.
03Can I still log in with my old OKEx account?
Yes, it’s the same account under the new brand. Sign in at okx.com or in the OKX app with the email or phone number you registered. If you’ve forgotten the password, reset it from the official login page; OKX says a reset triggers a 24-hour restriction on withdrawals, P2P crypto selling and DEX trading.
04Where do I download the OKEx app now?
Get the OKX app instead — it’s the same app under its new name. Use the App Store or Google Play listing whose developer is OKX Inc., or the Download page on okx.com. The app isn’t listed in every country, and OKX doesn’t serve some locations.
05My old OKEx app won’t open. What should I do?
Back up any wallet seed phrase or private key first, then update through About OKX → Check for updates, or reinstall from an official source. Delete any copy that came from a chat group, short link or third-party download site.
06How can I tell if an okex link is fake?
Be suspicious of any address that mixes okex or okx with extra words, hyphens, unusual endings or a zero in place of the letter O, and of login links in ads, texts and chats. Paste anything doubtful into OKX’s channel verification tool; if it can’t be confirmed, treat it as suspicious.
