What Happens to a Running KuCoin Bot While You're Locked Out of the Account

The Reset Steps

Forgot Password, verify via email, set a new password, confirm 2FA if enabled — standard mechanics, no different from most exchanges.

What Your Bot Is Doing the Whole Time

A running grid, DCA, or martingale bot continues operating according to its existing configuration regardless of whether you can log in — it isn't paused by a lockout. That's generally reassuring, though it also means you can't adjust or stop it mid-lockout if market conditions shift.

• Open it in a private window if an older invite's cookies are still set in your browser

If 2FA Is Also Lost

This needs a support ticket with identity verification, which takes longer — worth starting promptly, especially if you'd want to adjust a bot's settings once back in.

Once You're Back In

Check in this order:

• Review what the bot did while you were locked out
• Confirm its current settings still match your intent
• Re-secure 2FA with a backed-up method
• Adjust or pause the bot if market conditions changed

More Worth Knowing About KuCoin

KuCoin is worth watching closely here because of built-in grid, DCA, and martingale trading bots, the KCS token, and the Spotlight token-launch program — that's the detail a generic version of this guide tends to skip.

None of the above replaces checking the live account settings and support pages for exactly what's changed since this was written.

• Recheck settings, limits, and support channels directly in the app before acting
• Keep a record (screenshots, ticket numbers) of anything you report
• Run your numbers through a fee calculator once the account issue is sorted
