Kraken Access Guide

Practical steps to access your Kraken account safely and reduce the risk of compromise.

How to access your Kraken account (safely)

Open your browser and navigate to Kraken by typing the domain manually or using a trusted bookmark.
Confirm the site uses HTTPS and the browser shows the padlock before entering credentials.
Use the official Kraken mobile app from verified app stores when on mobile.
Enter credentials only on the verified page — avoid links from email/messages unless you confirm sender identity.

Pro tip: Bookmark the verified Kraken homepage and use that bookmark to reach the site every time.

Account protection checklist

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) — prefer authenticator apps (TOTP) over SMS.
Use a unique, strong password stored in a password manager.
Enable email alerts for withdrawals and large account actions.
Review and revoke API keys or third-party app access you no longer use.

If you lose access

Use Kraken’s verified account recovery or password-reset flow only on the official site.
Be prepared for identity verification (KYC) for account recovery — follow official instructions.
If you suspect an account breach, secure your email and withdraw funds to a safe wallet if possible.
