Secure Login Information

Account Access

Accessing your Kraken account requires your registered email address and password. We recommend using a strong, unique password that you don't use for any other services.

Two-Factor Authentication

For enhanced security, Kraken requires Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a code from your authenticator app in addition to your password.

Security Verification

Our system may occasionally prompt for additional verification to ensure your account's safety. This helps protect against unauthorized access attempts.

Security Best Practices

Use Strong Passwords

Create a unique, complex password with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using personal information.

Enable 2FA

Always enable Two-Factor Authentication using an authenticator app rather than SMS for maximum security.

Verify Website Address

Always ensure you're on the official Kraken website by checking the URL in your browser's address bar before entering credentials.

Monitor Account Activity

Regularly review your account activity and enable notifications for login attempts and other security-related events.

Use Secure Networks

Avoid accessing your account on public Wi-Fi networks. Use a trusted, private connection whenever possible.

Keep Software Updated

Ensure your operating system, browser, and security software are always up to date with the latest patches.
