Sign in safely to your Kraken account to trade cryptocurrencies, fund your account, manage withdrawals, and monitor portfolio performance. This portal emphasizes security-first access — enable two-factor authentication (2FA), use trusted devices, and follow recommended account protections.

Security-first access to your assets 🔒

Kraken uses a layered security model combining encryption, device verification, and optional hardware keys. Follow these core safeguards:

  • Enable 2FA: Use Authenticator apps or U2F hardware keys for login and withdrawal confirmation.
  • Trusted devices: Approve your browsers and mobile devices; review and revoke access regularly.
  • Encrypted communications: TLS/HTTPS protects credentials and session data in transit.
  • Account alerts: Set up email/SMS alerts for logins and large withdrawals.
Tip: Use a hardware security key for the strongest login protection, and keep recovery codes in a secure offline location.

Fast execution & advanced trading ⚡

Kraken provides a range of trading features for different experience levels:

  • Spot trading, margin trading, and futures (where available by region).
  • Order types: market, limit, stop-loss, take-profit, and conditional orders.
  • Staking and yield products for selected assets.
  • Clear fee schedules and order confirmations to maintain transparency.

Login flow & troubleshooting

  1. Open your bookmarked Kraken login page to avoid phishing attempts.
  2. Enter your registered email and secure password.
  3. Complete 2FA using your Authenticator app or security key.
  4. If prompted, confirm device verification via email link.

If you cannot sign in

  • Check your email for password reset links and ensure they aren't in spam.
  • If 2FA codes fail, verify device time is correct (TOTP requires accurate time).
  • Clear cookies/cache or try an incognito window and disable interfering extensions.
  • Contact Kraken Support for account recovery if you lose all 2FA methods.
