Secure Access to Your Cryptocurrency Portfolio
Understanding the login process and security measures for your Kraken account
Accessing your Kraken account requires your registered email address and password. For enhanced security, we recommend using a password manager to generate and store a strong, unique password.
Kraken employs Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) as an additional security layer. After entering your credentials, you'll need to provide a time-based one-time password from your authenticator app.
For maximum security, Kraken supports hardware security keys like YubiKey. These physical devices provide the strongest protection against phishing and account takeover attempts.
All login sessions are protected with industry-standard TLS encryption, ensuring your data remains private during transmission.
After several failed login attempts, your account will be temporarily locked to prevent brute force attacks.
Receive immediate email alerts for any new login activity, allowing you to quickly identify unauthorized access attempts.
Visit the official Kraken website and locate the login section. Always verify you're on the legitimate Kraken domain to avoid phishing attempts.
Provide your registered email address and password. Ensure you're using a secure network connection when entering sensitive information.
Open your authenticator app to retrieve the current 6-digit code. Enter this code when prompted to complete the authentication process.
After successful authentication, you'll be directed to your account dashboard where you can manage your portfolio and trading activities.
