Kraken Pro is the advanced trading platform from Kraken, one of the world’s most popular cryptocurrency exchanges. It’s designed for professional traders and serious crypto users who want more control, deeper charting tools, advanced order types, and a flexible trading interface — all while using the same Kraken account you already created on the main site.

📲 Kraken Pro Login: Overview

You don’t need a separate account to log in to Kraken Pro. If you already have a verified Kraken account, you can use those same credentials to sign in to Kraken Pro — whether you’re on web or the mobile app.

🔹 On the Web

  1. Go to https://pro.kraken.com — the official Kraken Pro trading platform.
  2. Click “Sign In” in the top-right corner.
  3. Enter your Kraken email (or username) and password.
  4. Complete your Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) if you have it set up — this is a highly recommended security step.

Once authenticated, you’ll be inside your trading dashboard with full access to markets and tools.

📱 Kraken Pro Mobile App Login

Kraken Pro also offers dedicated iOS and Android apps tailored for advanced trading on mobile devices.

Here’s how to log in:

  1. Download the Kraken Pro app from:
    • Apple App Store
    • Google Play Store
  2. Open the app and tap “Sign In.”
  3. Enter your Kraken email/username and password.
  4. Complete 2FA (if enabled).
  5. Optionally, enable biometric login (Face ID or fingerprint) for quicker access next time.

Once logged in, you stay signed in unless you manually sign out — making mobile trading fast and convenient.

🔐 Why Kraken Uses Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

For every login — especially on Kraken Pro — the platform strongly recommends enabling 2FA. This adds an extra layer of security beyond just your password. Some common 2FA methods include:

  • Authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy)
  • Hardware security key (like YubiKey)
  • (Mobile apps often support biometric 2FA too)

2FA protects your account from unauthorized access, even if someone obtains your password.

🧠 Tips for Smooth Login

Here are some best practices to ensure your Kraken Pro login goes smoothly:

Make sure you’re logging in through:

  • https://pro.kraken.com — for web trading
  • Official mobile app stores — for your phone app
    Avoid clicking unknown links from emails or messages.

✔ Keep Your Password Secure

Use a strong, unique password you don’t share anywhere else. Consider using a password manager.

✔ Enable 2FA

Two-factor authentication greatly increases security and is highly recommended.

✔ Biometric Login

Once you’ve logged in the first time on mobile, you can enable Face ID or fingerprint unlock for future logins.

🛠 Common Login Issues & How to Fix Them

Even with a straightforward process, sometimes users encounter problems. Here are a few situations and quick suggestions:

❗ “Invalid Credentials”

  • Double-check your email/username and password.
  • Ensure your keyboard isn’t auto-correcting or capitalizing.

❗ Deposit and Account Verification Blocks

Some users find they cannot access certain features until KYC verification is complete. Make sure you've uploaded and verified your documents on the main Kraken site.

❗ 2FA Code Issues

If your authenticator app’s codes aren’t working:

  • Ensure device time is set to automatic/synced.
  • Use backup codes if necessary.

❗ App Device Glitches

Occasionally, the app might freeze or fail to login due to local issues. Try:

  • Restarting the app
  • Clearing app cache
  • Reinstalling the app
    If problems persist, Kraken’s support center can help.

🧩 Why You Might Be Asked to Re-login

For security reasons, Kraken and Kraken Pro may require a fresh login or re-authentication occasionally — especially after:

  • Logging out manually
  • Clearing app data
  • Device changes
  • Security updates

This helps protect your account and assets.

🧑‍💻 Final Thoughts

Logging into Kraken Pro is designed to be secure yet intuitive. Whether you’re using the web platform or the mobile app, the process relies on your existing verified Kraken account and is protected with industry-standard security features like two-factor authentication and optional biometric access.
