How to use imKey Pass S6 with Kraken

Kraken supports FIDO security keys as a method for two-factor authentication (2FA). After you add imKey Pass S6, you’ll be required to insert the hardware key and complete local verification (fingerprint / PIN) when signing in or performing sensitive security actions—greatly improving phishing resistance and account protection.

Before you start

Please make sure you have:

• The Kraken App installed and you’re already logged in
• A way to connect a USB-C security key (if your device only has USB-A, use a high-quality adapter)
• An imKey Pass S6 that works normally
• Recommended: You have already completed the PIN setup and fingerprint enrollment on a PC.

1. Add imKey Pass S6 in the Kraken App (Security Key 2FA)

1. Open the Kraken App home page.
2. Tap the avatar in the top-left corner to open Account.
3. Select Security .
4. On the “Security” page, find Two-factor authentication (2FA) and tap Passkeys.

5. Tap Add passkey.
6. When a pop-up appears (e.g., “Add a passkey?”), tap More options.
7. Select Other devices, then tap Use Security key.

8. Insert imKey Pass S6 and follow the prompts to touch the fingerprint sensor to complete registration.
9. After the binding is completed, you will see the newly added security key in the key list.
10. For easier management in the future, it is recommended to add a name to the key:
    • In the key list, click the three-dot position on the right side of the corresponding key;
    • Enter the editing page, fill in the name in the description (for example: imKey Pass S6 / Backup Key);
    • Click "Save".

2. How to use imKey Pass S6 when signing in

Follow these steps to verify with imKey Pass S6 during login:

1. On the Kraken App home page, tap Sign in.
2. Complete device unlock verification if prompted (device passcode or Face ID).
3. Select the account you want to log in to (if prompted).

4. Enter your Email or username and password.
5. On the Two-factor Authentication (2FA) page, tap the purple button at the bottom: Use Passkey.
6. When the selection window appears, tap Use Security key, then tap Continue.
7. Insert imKey Pass S6 and follow the prompts to touch the fingerprint sensor to verify and sign in.

3. Manage / replace / remove your security keys

Path: Kraken App → Account → Security guaranteed → Two-factor authentication (2FA) → PassKeys

You can:

• Add passkey (recommended to keep a backup)
• Tap ··· next to a key to manage it (Edit description / Remove)

⚠️ Important: Before removing any key, make sure you still have another working verification method (a backup key or another 2FA method), so you don’t get locked out of your account.

Important security tips

• Separate Storage: Keep one key with you and another in a secure location (home, office, or safe).
• Back up before you remove: ensure at least one other sign-in/verification method still works.
• Watch out for phishing: only sign in through the official Kraken app/website—avoid unknown links.
