Navigating the world of cryptocurrency wallets can be challenging, especially when managing security, transactions, and account settings. This guide addresses common questions and provides clear solutions for OKX Wallet users, helping you manage your digital assets with confidence.
Resetting and Recovering Your Wallet
What to Do If You Forget Your Password
If you forget your wallet password, the only way to regain access is by re-importing your seed phrase or private keys. Unfortunately, without these, your assets cannot be recovered. For issues with your OKX account login password, refer to the official support page for assistance.
How to Reset Your Wallet
To reset your OKX Wallet, navigate to Menu > Password > Reset Wallet. Note that this action restores the wallet to its initial state, erasing all seed phrases, private keys, and wallet data. After resetting, you must re-enter your seed phrase or private key to access your wallet.
Importing an Existing Wallet
To import a wallet, open OKX Wallet, select ▼ > Add Wallet > Import Wallet, and choose from options like Restore Keyless Wallet, Cloud Backup, Seed Phrase, or Private Key. For detailed steps, consult the official import guide.
Managing Accounts and Assets
Missing Accounts After Importing Seed Phrase
If you import a seed phrase and can’t find the expected account, consider these possibilities:
- You may have multiple seed phrases; try importing the correct one.
- The desired account might be a derived account under the imported wallet. Try adding an account to see if it appears.
- If the seed phrase wasn’t created in OKX Wallet, use the original wallet app to re-import it.
Backing Up Seed Phrases and Private Keys
Your seed phrase or private key is essential for controlling your assets. Losing them means permanent loss of access. To back up, open OKX Wallet, select ▼ > Manage Wallet, choose the wallet, and select Seed Phrase or Cloud Backup. For more details, read the backup guide.
Deleting or Removing Accounts
Due to blockchain’s immutable nature, accounts cannot be deleted once created. However, you can remove them from your wallet:
- For derived accounts created with a seed phrase, remove the entire wallet and re-import it.
- For wallets imported with private keys, simply remove the wallet from the device.
Transaction Management
Adding Missing Cryptocurrencies
If you can’t find a specific cryptocurrency, go to Manage Crypto > Custom Crypto, select the network, and enter the contract address to add it. Learn more in the custom crypto guide.
Canceling or Replacing Pending Ethereum Transactions
To handle pending transactions, go to More > History on the wallet homepage, find the transaction, and select Cancel Transaction or Speed Up as needed.
Network Fees for Failed Transactions
Yes, network fees are charged for processing transactions, regardless of success or failure. This fee covers network resource consumption and is non-refundable. OKX Wallet does not charge this fee and cannot refund it.
Recovering Funds Sent to Wrong Addresses
Once a transfer is successful, it cannot be reversed due to blockchain immutability. If you sent funds to the wrong address:
- If the address belongs to another platform, contact that platform for assistance.
- If the address is a contract address, reach out to the project team to inquire about recovery options.
