I can't sign in to my account

Last updated: 24 ліпеня 2026 г.

If you’re unable to sign in to your account and our status page shows everything is running normally, one of the following may be causing the issue:

  • An incorrect username or email
    Check for typos, extra spaces, or the wrong email address.

  • Email sign-in is not enabled on your account
    Try signing in with your username instead of your email.

  • Incorrect password entered
    Make sure Caps Lock is off.
    Try resetting your password.

  • Invalid Two-factor Authentication (2FA) code
    Enter the most recent code from your authenticator app and ensure your device time is set correctly.
    Additional troubleshooting can be found on Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Troubleshooting.

  • Passkey not working
    Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both your phone and computer.
    Check your device's password manager is selecting the correct passkey for your account. Additional troubleshooting can be found on Passkey Troubleshooting Guide.

  • New device approval required
    Check your email and spam for a device approval message and approve the login attempt.
    Ensure that both the device that you are trying to sign in with, and the device that you are approving the device from, are on the same network and using the same connection to the internet.

These steps are for web only. If you need help signing into your account, via the Kraken app, please view our recovery steps for your account username and password.

If you have lost access to your Sign-in 2FA you can use your Master Key as a 2FA sign-in method. If you don't have a Master Key or have lost access to it, please submit a support request, and select I can't sign in to my account, Issue with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), select the appropriate choice for you. Fill out the details, and click Submit.

If you receive a "Session Invalid" message your system may have changed its IP address during your sign-in session. This feature is in place to combat session hijacking.

If you continue to get the "Session Invalid" message, you can contact your ISP to see if they can stop changing your IP, or you can try using a VPN to connect to Kraken.

    The password reset link expires two hours after it is sent and can only be used once. If you missed the two hour time period, you will need to request a new password reset again.

  • I get the message "Your password must be at least 12 characters"

  • I get the message "Your password must contain at least one number"

    For security purposes we only allow passwords that include at least one number, add a number to your password to continue. We recommend using a reputable password manager that can generate and remember a safe password for you.

  • I get the message "Passwords do not match"

    One of the two passwords that you entered does not match the other, fill out both passwords again and make sure that you save your password in a safe place. We recommend using a reputable password manager that can generate and remember a safe password for you.

  • I get the message "Failed to set password"

    It could be that you have a Master Key enabled, fill the Master Key in the appropriate field. I have a Master Key, but don't remember it or don't have access to it any longer. Please submit a support request to receive help from our Support team.
