Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
- Log in to Kraken through the verified site or app.
- Go to Security → Two-factor authentication.
- Choose an authenticator app (recommended) or a hardware security key if supported.
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app and save backup/recovery codes in a secure offline location.
If you lose your 2FA device, follow Kraken’s verified recovery instructions — you may need to complete identity verification (KYC).
Account Verification (KYC) — Best Practices
- Provide clear, valid identity documents when requested for verification.
- Upload documents only through the official Kraken verification portal.
- Keep personal information up to date to speed up recovery and support requests.
