Kraken®® | Log In™
If you use a password manager, you can use it to enter your credentials securely rather than copying passwords from untrusted sources. Legitimate support personnel should not need your password or private authentication credentials. Temporary service issues can also affect access. If you repeatedly receive unexpected security notifications or believe that someone else may have attempted to access your account, take the situation seriously and follow Kraken's official security guidance.
How to Log In to Kraken
Avoid clicking login links received through unexpected emails, messages, advertisements, or social media posts, as fraudulent websites can be designed to steal account credentials.
What to Do If You Forget Your Password
-
On the Kraken login page, enter the email address or username associated with your account, followed by your password. Make sure your password is entered correctly and that Caps Lock is not accidentally enabled.
-
Kraken may also require additional security verification. Depending on your account configuration, this can include two-factor authentication (2FA) or another security method. Enter the requested verification code or approve the authentication request using your configured security device or application. Two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of protection because someone who obtains your password may still be unable to access your account without the second authentication factor.
If you cannot remember your password, use Kraken's official password-recovery process rather than relying on third-party websites or individuals claiming to provide account-recovery services. Follow the instructions provided by Kraken and use an email account that you can securely access. Never give your password, authentication codes, recovery information, or private keys to another person.
Protecting Your Kraken Account
Account security should remain a priority after logging in. Use a unique, strong password that you do not reuse on other websites. Enable appropriate security features, keep your email account protected, and review account activity when available.
Using Kraken on Mobile Devices
Your Kraken account is protected by account credentials and security controls, while cryptocurrency transactions can involve wallet addresses, networks, and blockchain confirmations. Always verify transaction details carefully before approving a transfer.
When to Contact Support
Never share sensitive account information publicly or with people claiming they can unlock, verify, or recover your account for a fee.
Final Thoughts
In short, a secure Kraken login involves using the correct official service, entering your credentials carefully, completing any required two-factor authentication, and keeping your account information private.
