Last updated: 20 студзеня 2026 г.

To set up PGP/GPG encryption of Kraken Pro you can find out how here!

How do I set up PGP/GPG encryption for my email?Before setting up PGP encryption, we recommend reviewing our short explanation of the topic. Note that this is an optional security feature. You will be able to receive our emails without PGP enabled, and will receive those emails with standard security methods enabled like TLS.

To start with setting up PGP, you will need software that can create your private and public key so that you can:

• Encrypt emails that you send.

• Decrypt emails that are sent to you.

We recommend that you review the software list of OpenPGP to find the best match for you.The most popular methods are:

• Protonmail, an email provider with in-browser cryptography (no extensions required).

• FlowCrypt browser extension for Gmail compatible with Chrome, Firefox, and Brave browsers.

• Mozilla Thunderbird software compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

Once you have created your private and public key, you will now be able to receive encrypted emails from Kraken by sharing your public key with us through your account settings. To find your public key, review the documentation provided by your PGP software; every software provider stores public keys in different ways.

Note: you should never share your private key with anyone. Kraken will never ask for your private keys.

Please note: Only automated emails from Kraken will be encrypted using the account's PGP public key. See: How can I contact your support team using PGP/GPG email encryption?
