As one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Kraken is committed to protecting users' digital assets. With growing threats of hacking and phishing attacks, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) is essential for keeping your Kraken account secure.
Two-factor authentication requires a secondary means of verifying your identity beyond just a password. When logging in, Kraken will prompt for a single-use code from your authenticator app in addition to your username and password.
Kraken supports 2FA via the Google Authenticator, Authy and SMS text message codes. Google Authenticator is recommended for highest security by generating codes locally on your device without an internet connection.
Enabling 2FA takes just a few minutes. Go to your Kraken account settings and select "Two-factor authentication". Scan the QR code with your authenticator app or enter the secret key manually. Kraken will then require the generated codes during login.
With the extra layer of 2FA, even if hackers obtain your credentials, they won't be able to access your account without the second code. This significantly increases security compared to a single password.
With bank-level 2FA security, Kraken users can focus on taking advantage of top trading features without worrying about account takeovers. Enable 2FA today to fully protect your Kraken login and digital assets.
