Could not connect
This venue is not ready to connect yet, so the form is disabled rather than taking a key it cannot use. Nothing has been stored. Your api secret and api passphrase have been cleared and must be entered again — we do not send a secret back to your browser.
⚠ This stores a secret
It is encrypted before it reaches the database and never appears in a response or a log. It is still worth knowing: issue a key with trading and withdrawal disabled, and revoke it at the venue if you ever stop using this.
The credential is checked against the venue before it is stored. If it turns out to allow trading or withdrawal, the connection is refused and nothing is saved.

Worth knowing about OKX
  • OKX needs three values, not two. The passphrase is one you invent when creating the key, not your account password.
  • Demo-trading keys are separate from live ones and will import an empty history against a live account.
  • You can delete this key at the exchange at any time. Doing so stops imports immediately and affects nothing else.
Exchanges move these settings without warning. If what you see does not match, OKX API keys ↗ is the authority — and nothing here ever asks you to enable trading or withdrawal.
