Klarna links your cards, your bank and a running record of your purchases and payment plans, so a stranger getting in could spend in your name. A strong, unique password and two-factor authentication keep it safe. Our GetMyPassword team covers how to change your Klarna password, reset it when you are locked out, and protect the account from the scams that target shoppers.
Change your password in settings
- Open the Klarna app or klarna.com and sign in.
- Go to your profile or Settings.
- Open the Security or login section and choose Change password.
- Enter your current password, then the new one, and save.
Klarna often signs you in with a code to your phone or email; if you use a password too, make it long, random and unique because real money sits behind it.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in page choose Forgot password? and enter your email. Klarna sends a reset link or code; follow it to set a new password. You may need to confirm your identity, so keep the email and phone number on your account current and under your control.
Watch for payment scams
Buy-now-pay-later accounts attract fraud. Be wary of messages about a “missed payment,” “refund” or “account problem” with a link to log in or confirm card details. Klarna will not ask you to re-enter payment details or share a code through a link in a message. Verify anything suspicious by opening the official app yourself.
A pay-later account is a credit line in your name. Treat its login like your bank’s: a unique password, two-factor authentication, and a firm rule that you never confirm payments through a link someone sent you.
Secure it with a unique password and 2FA
Give Klarna a password you use nowhere else, created with our password generator, and turn on two-factor authentication. Protect the email and phone tied to the account too, since they receive your sign-in codes. With those in place, your payment plans and cards stay yours alone.
