The problem seems to be that I changed my password, then added a new withdrawal address. There is a 24 hour hold on new addresses created after a password change, so I expect to see my BTC going where it's supposed to be going after the 24 hrs have passed Smiley. Thanks everyone.
I was first surprised when you said your transaction is not on the blockchain, which is strange, and from what you said here, the transaction was not sent at all by Kraken.
You believe it was sent cause you don't notice the platform response, and this is what you need to pay attention to when on the internet if you don't want to be a victim of a crypto scam.

I must add I found the 2FA a pain. 2 different authentication apps that I attempted to use offered me a 3 day free trial and my credit card number flashed up so I hope I'm not signed up for these as I can't see anywhere to unsubscribe.
2FA apps are free, and the particular app is properly scammer idea. Use the Aegis authenticator.

Yes, it's an annoying measure, but it can help with security. If someone steals your account and changes the password, you have 24 hours to let Kraken know

But about this 2FA, be careful, you can use free apps without having to enter anything, not even a credit card
There's Google's Authenticator, and Authy, which is the one I'm using at the moment, both of which are good and serve me well
I will advise you to use Aegis authenticator, which is open source app, instead of the Google authenticator and Authy, which are not open source. Once have time synchronization and multiple failed attempts when registering the device on the app, respectively.
