I. Difference Between Resetting and Changing Email
- Reset Email: This process does not require verification of the original email code. If your registered email is inaccessible or you can't receive the verification code after adding CoinEx’s email addresses to your whitelist, you can go to [Help Center] > [Reset Email Address] to reset your email.

6. Information verification: You need to complete verification based on your account status.
Case 1: Answer Security Questions
(1) Carefully read the "Attention" and tap [Start now] to answer questions.
(2) You will be presented with 4 questions related to your account information. The answers may be single or multiple choice; please respond based on your actual account details.
(3) If the answers are correct, the email will be reset. Tap [Back] to log in with your new email.
Note:
- You have only 3 attempts to answer the questions. If you fail, you can choose [Continue] or [Submit documents] for manual review to reset your email.
- If you run out of all attempts, you can only reset your email by submitting documents for manual review.
Case 2: Complete Biometric Verification (for accounts that have completed Primary Verification)
The system may require you to submit information for manual review under the following circumstances:
- All answer attempts are used up.
- Either the security tool or the password is unavailable.
- It is a high-value asset account.
(1) Tap [Face Recognition].
(2) Tap [Continue].
(3) Select your country of residence and tap [Continue].
(4) Tap [Continue] to start face recognition. The following tips can help you complete biometric verification smoothly:
- Prepare your camera: Ensure your camera is functioning properly.
- Choose a well-lit area: Complete identity verification in a well-lit environment, avoiding dark or backlit settings.
- Ensure your face is within the frame: Make sure your face is fully visible and centered in the frame.
- To ensure successful verification, please do not wear hats, glasses, or masks.
After submitting biometric verification, patiently wait for the review results.
Note: Even if biometric verification is successful, if your Primary verification is invalid to verify your account ownership, your application may still be rejected. In this case, additional information will be required to reset your email.
Case 3: Validate Historical Deposit/Withdrawal Records from Third-Party Platforms with Screenshots or Screen Recordings
If your account has not completed Primary verification but has deposit/withdrawal records, upload screenshots or screen recordings of historical deposit/withdrawal records from third-party platforms as required. Once approved, your email will be successfully reset.
(1) Screenshot Requirements:
- Screenshots of historical deposit/withdrawal records from third-party platforms must include the currency, amount, time, and Transaction ID.
- If you deposited from Platform A to CoinEx, provide the withdrawal records from Platform A.
