OKX Wallet has announced a significant update regarding its keyless wallet service. As of April 7, 2025, the keyless wallet feature is no longer supported on the OKX Wallet browser extension. Users who previously utilized keyless wallets can continue to manage their assets and access full wallet functionality through the OKX mobile application.
This change impacts only the plugin interface; all user assets remain secure and fully accessible. Keyless wallets are a type of decentralized, non-custodial wallet, meaning users always retain ownership of their private keys and funds. The discontinuation of plugin support does not affect asset ownership or security.
OKX remains committed to delivering a high-quality, user-friendly experience across its ecosystem. The team continues to focus on improving product offerings and ensuring secure, reliable service for all clients.

Understanding Keyless Wallets and the Recent Update
Keyless wallets, also known as smart contract wallets or account abstraction wallets, offer a user-friendly approach to managing digital assets without requiring users to store or handle private keys directly. Instead, they rely on social recovery, multi-signature mechanisms, or other innovative authentication methods.
OKX Wallet’s decision to discontinue keyless wallet support on its browser extension is part of an ongoing effort to streamline services and focus on more secure and widely adopted solutions. Users are encouraged to switch to the OKX App for a consistent and upgraded experience.
How to Manage Your Assets After This Change
If you were using a keyless wallet on the OKX Wallet plugin, follow these simple steps to ensure continuous access:
- Download the OKX App on your iOS, Android, macOS, or Windows device.
- Log in using your existing account credentials.
- Access your wallet and view your assets seamlessly.
Your funds and transaction history remain intact—no action is required to migrate or secure assets. The same wallet address and associated data are automatically available within the app.
