KuCoin Login — Official Sign-In & Security Guide

Clear, accurate instructions from KuCoin support for secure account access and recovery.

Summary — KuCoin Login essentials

This page describes how to perform a KuCoin Login, available methods (email/phone + password, QR code, mobile app), security controls (Google 2-step verification and trading password), and how to recover access if you forget credentials or lose 2FA. The procedures below are based on KuCoin’s official support resources. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

How to complete KuCoin Login (web or app)

To perform a standard KuCoin Login, go to kucoin.com or open the official mobile app, choose "Log In", and enter the email address or phone number registered to your account and your password. You may be prompted to complete a CAPTCHA and a two-factor authentication (2FA) check before the session is granted. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

QR code and mobile app login

KuCoin supports QR code login: from the web login screen select "QR" and scan with the KuCoin mobile app. QR login pairs your device session quickly and avoids typing credentials on shared computers — still follow device security best practices when using QR login. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Account security and 2FA for KuCoin Login

KuCoin strongly recommends enabling Google Authenticator (or another TOTP app) as a second factor. After you bind Google 2FA, login attempts will require a time-based 6-digit code in addition to your password. Follow the official binding and reset instructions if you change phones or lose access to your authenticator app. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Separately, KuCoin uses an optional trading password for critical operations (trades/withdrawals). Keep distinct, secure credentials and record recovery information offline. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Forgot password or lost 2FA — recovery steps

If you forget your login password, click "Forgot password?" on the KuCoin login page and follow the email/phone verification prompts to reset it. If you lose 2FA access or your trading password, use KuCoin’s guided self-service flows to verify identity; for complex cases you may need to submit an account recovery ticket with supporting ID. Follow the official procedures exactly for a timely resolution. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Quick troubleshooting checklist

Before filing a ticket, verify: (1) you’re on the official kucoin.com domain, (2) your email/phone is reachable, (3) CAPTCHA or network issues are not blocking requests, and (4) the authenticator app time is synced. If codes fail repeatedly, proceed with the reset workflow. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Five essential best practices for KuCoin Login

  1. Use a unique, strong password and a reputable password manager.
  2. Enable Google Authenticator (TOTP) for every login and backup your recovery keys.
  3. Keep your registered email and phone number up to date for recovery.
  4. Prefer QR login on trusted devices to avoid exposing credentials on public machines.
  5. Confirm you are on the official KuCoin domain before entering any credentials. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
