Welcome — quick, secure access to your crypto
Logging into Kraken.com® is the first step to actively managing your crypto holdings and pursuing market opportunities. Whether you check prices on the go, place a limit order, stake assets for yield, or prepare tax documents, your login experience needs to be instantaneous and secure. We design our sign-in flow around three priorities: speed, clarity, and protection. Speed so you don’t miss market-moving moments; clarity so you always know what action you’re taking; and protection so your funds and identity stay secure.
Security built for real world risks
Security is never an afterthought. Kraken.com® supports modern protections like two-factor authentication (2FA), biometric sign-in on supported devices, and FIDO2 hardware security keys for advanced users. Device approval and email/SMS alerts warn you about new sign-ins, while session management tools let you review active logins and revoke access you don’t recognize. For high-risk actions — large withdrawals, account settings changes, or margin transfers — we add extra verification steps to ensure only you can authorize those events.
Accessible recovery and account continuity
Losing access happens. Kraken.com® makes account recovery straightforward without sacrificing security. Use backup codes, secondary email verification, or identity verification processes to regain access. We guide you step-by-step and provide clear expectations about the documentation required. If you ever need hands-on help, our support team is available through secure channels to assist with recovery while ensuring the rightful owner is protected.
Sign-in options that fit your workflow
Different users prefer different sign-in methods. Some choose classic email + password plus 2FA for maximum control. Others enable biometric unlock on their mobile devices for one-tap entry. Power traders often pair a secure password with a hardware key for the fastest and safest setup. You can save trusted devices for quick access or require 2FA every time for added security. Every choice is reversible — you remain in control.

Best practices — keep your account safe
A few simple habits drastically improve account safety: enable two-factor authentication and store backup codes offline; use a password manager to create and store long, unique passwords; keep your devices updated and avoid public computers for sensitive tasks; and consider a hardware security key for the highest level of protection. Treat recovery information like keys — store it securely and only share through verified channels.
