Use hardware-backed authentication

If Kraken supports hardware security keys, use them. A hardware key binds a cryptographic credential to the real domain so phishing pages can’t trick you into authenticating. It’s the most reliable protection against credential-harvesting sites.

Always use your bookmark

Create and use a bookmark to access Kraken. Bookmarks prevent typos and reduce the chance of loading a spoofed domain. Combine bookmarking with checking the padlock icon and certificate details for additional assurance.

Handling codes safely

Do not share one-time codes or recovery codes. Legitimate support will never ask for your authentication codes in chat or email. Store backup codes offline and treat them like cash — physical and protected.

Reporting & verification

When in doubt, save the suspicious message and verify via your saved support route. Reporting suspicious communications helps protect others and improves platform defenses over time.
