How to complete your Kraken login

  2. Enter your registered email and password.
  3. Complete two-factor authentication if enabled.
  4. Confirm device recognition or approve the login via your authenticator or security key.

Tip: Never share your password or 2FA codes. Always verify the domain before entering your Kraken login details.

Enable 2FA for your Kraken login

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection. Kraken supports authenticator apps (TOTP) and hardware security keys (U2F/WebAuthn).

  • Install an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy)
  • Scan the QR code in your Kraken account settings
  • Keep your backup recovery codes somewhere safe and offline

Frequently asked questions

I forgot my Kraken login password — what should I do?

Use the "Forgot Password" flow on the official Kraken site. If you enabled 2FA, you may need your recovery codes or contact support for further verification.

Is my Kraken login safe with an authenticator app?

Yes. Authenticator apps that use TOTP are widely recommended. For even stronger protection, use a hardware security key (WebAuthn/U2F).
