How to do a kraken login (step-by-step)

Follow these clear steps to successfully perform a kraken login. This guide emphasizes safety and practical troubleshooting tips so you can get back to trading or checking balances quickly.

  1. Open the official Kraken site — always verify the URL and the SSL padlock in your browser.
  2. Click “Sign In” and enter the email address associated with your account.
  3. Enter your password and complete your 2FA prompt if enabled (Auth app or hardware key).
  4. If you can't log in, use "Forgot password" or follow the official recovery steps. Avoid third-party guides that ask for private keys or full account access.

Safety checklist

  • Confirm the site is the official Kraken domain (check certificate).
  • Always enable 2FA and prefer an authenticator app over SMS when possible.
  • Use a unique password or passphrase — consider a password manager.
  • Beware of phishing emails asking you to "re-enter" credentials.
