Quick Kraken Login Overview
The Kraken login process is designed to be secure and simple. To sign in, you'll need the email address associated with your Kraken account and your password. If you have enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) — which we strongly recommend — you'll also provide your 2FA code.
Step-by-step: Kraken Login
Open Kraken's official website
Always confirm the URL is https://www.kraken.com and that the SSL padlock is present in your browser.
Click Sign In
Find the Sign In or Log In button at the top-right and click it to open the login form.
Enter your email and password
Type the email and password exactly — passwords are case-sensitive. Use a password manager to fill credentials safely.
Complete Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
If 2FA is enabled, enter the code from your authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy) or your hardware key as required.
You're logged in
After successful authentication, you'll be redirected to your Kraken dashboard where you can trade, deposit, or withdraw (subject to verification limits).
Troubleshooting Common Kraken Login Issues
Forgot password
Use the "Forgot password" link on the Kraken login page. Follow the emailed password reset instructions and then re-enable 2FA.
2FA problems or lost device
If you lose access to your 2FA device, use Kraken's account recovery process. Keep backup codes in a secure place and consider a hardware security key for recovery.
Account locked or suspicious activity
Contact Kraken support immediately using the official support channels. Do not respond to emails claiming to be Kraken without verifying the sender and checking your account directly on the Kraken website.
Security Best Practices for Kraken Login
- Enable 2FA and use an authenticator app instead of SMS where possible.
- Use a strong, unique password and a reputable password manager.
- Enable withdrawal whitelist and additional account protections offered by Kraken.
- Verify URLs, avoid public Wi‑Fi for trading, and keep your device OS and browser updated.
