I have always refused to use 2FA and I don't feel the need and I'm not actually interested.
I know it's just an extra security layer but I'm fine and I don't want anything extra. At my own risk, I know it. I don't want to bother to look at how it works, to use a google product and to waste my time searching how to use an alternative that may be not working for all websites.
Trully, that's good for Kraken but not for me, I may ever look at another alternative. Even banks don't use it.

On Kraken, the 2-FA can just be a second password, no need to use google authenticator if you don't want to.

do they still allow a static password for a 2fa? i remember that was true several years ago but i'd be amazed if they haven't removed that option. it's really insecure. proper 2fa is composed of "something you know" (password) and "something you have" (like TOTP authentication on your phone).

i thought this statement from the OP meant you need to use one-time passwords at kraken:

Now, Two Factor Authentication has been made a requirement by the exchange. There are now two options available to the clientsGoogle Authenticator and YubiKey.

I just checked my Kraken security and there is still the static password as a supported method. Huh
