Kraken Login: Secure Access to Your Account
Sign in to your Kraken account to access trading, portfolio management, staking, and account settings. Protected by industry-leading security.
Sign In to Kraken
Access your Kraken account through the secure login portal. Every login attempt is protected by your password and two-factor authentication (2FA), ensuring that only you can access your account. Kraken supports multiple 2FA methods including authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy), hardware security keys (YubiKey), and SMS verification.
For enhanced security, Kraken recommends using a hardware security key or authenticator app rather than SMS-based 2FA. Hardware keys provide the strongest protection against phishing attacks and SIM-swapping. The Kraken Global Settings Lock feature adds another layer by preventing changes to your security settings without a cooling-off period.
Login Requirements

Kraken Account Security Features
Kraken provides multiple layers of security to protect your account and assets.
Two-Factor Authentication
Mandatory 2FA protects your account from unauthorised access. Choose from authenticator apps, hardware security keys, or SMS verification. Each method adds a time-sensitive code requirement beyond your password for every login.
Global Settings Lock (GSL)
The GSL prevents changes to your account security settings, API keys, and withdrawal addresses. Once enabled, a mandatory cooling-off period must pass before any security modifications take effect, protecting you even if your credentials are compromised.
Device Management
Monitor and manage all devices that have accessed your Kraken account. Revoke access to unrecognised devices instantly. New device logins trigger email notifications so you can detect unauthorised access attempts immediately.
