Log In | Robinhood® Login® – Sign In to Your Account

Why a thoughtful sign-in matter

Logging in is the gateway to your portfolio — the place where real money and sensitive personal data live. Treat the login page and the process that leads to it as the first line of defense. Whether you use the Robinhood mobile app or the web interface, a secure sign-in flow reduces the chance of unauthorized access and limits stress when you manage investments.

Signing in — step by step (web and mobile)

Robinhood offers two primary ways to sign in: via the official website and via the mobile app (iOS / Android). The steps are similar:

• Open https://robinhood.com/login in your browser, or launch the Robinhood app.
• Enter the email address or username associated with your account.
• Type your password — use a password manager to avoid typos.
• If you have multi-factor authentication enabled, enter the temporary code from your authenticator app or SMS when prompted.
• Confirm any device prompts (push notifications) if you use the Robinhood mobile login approval.

Quick checklist before you tap "Sign in"

• Confirm the web address is robinhood.com (watch for lookalike domains).
• Verify your device is running updated software and browser/app versions.
• Use trusted networks — avoid public or untrusted Wi‑Fi when accessing financial accounts.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) and why it's essential

Two-factor authentication adds a second verification layer. Robinhood supports push-based authentication and time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) via authenticator apps, and may also support SMS codes. An attacker who obtains your password still needs the second factor — making account compromise much harder.

Recommended 2FA setup

• Use an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar) instead of SMS when possible.
• Keep backup recovery codes in a secure place (not in email or plain text on your phone).
• Consider a hardware security key if you want the strongest protection.

Troubleshooting common login issues

Even with everything set up correctly, you may run into login problems. Below are the most common issues and how to resolve them.

Forgot password

Use the "Forgot password" link on the login page. Robinhood will email a reset link to the address on file. If you no longer have access to that email, follow account recovery steps available on the official Help Center.

can't receive 2FA codes

If your authenticator app or SMS codes fail, check that your phone's time settings are accurate (TOTP depends on time synchronization). For SMS, ensure your carrier has service and isn't blocking short codes.

Account locked or flagged

Robinhood may temporarily restrict an account after suspicious activity or repeated failed attempts. If your account is locked, contact Robinhood Support via the official Support page. Have identification and account details ready to expedite verification.

Account recovery and contact options

When you can't sign in, head to the Robinhood Help Center and Support pages listed above. Common recovery steps include email verification, identity confirmation (photo ID), and phone verification. Avoid sharing personal details on public forums — always use the official support channels.

What to prepare before contacting support

• Registered email address and phone number
• Last successful login date
• Any error messages you saw (copy/paste them)
• Scans or photos of government-issued ID if requested

Best practices to keep your Robinhood sign-in secure

Follow these habits to reduce risk and make login problems rare:

• Use a strong, unique password per account — store it in a reputable password manager.
• Enable 2FA and prefer authenticator apps over SMS.
• Keep the mobile app and device OS updated with security patches.
• Review active devices and sessions in your Robinhood account settings periodically.
• Watch your email for account-change notices and verify any unfamiliar activity immediately.

Protect against phishing attempts

Phishing is the most common way attackers try to harvest credentials. Phishing messages may mimic Robinhood branding and ask you to click a link to "verify" your account. To avoid phishing:

• Never click links in suspicious emails — instead navigate directly to robinhood.com.
• Double-check sender addresses and look for subtle misspellings.
• Use an email service that marks suspicious senders and enables sender verification.

Mobile vs. Web: which is safer?

Both mobile apps and the web interface can be secure if you follow best practices. Mobile apps benefit from OS-level biometrics and app sandboxing; web access can be safe when using a modern browser, up-to-date plugins, and HTTPS. The best choice is the one you keep updated and use cautiously.

Session management

Always sign out on shared computers and clear the browser cache if you suspect someone else used your device. Review active sessions and revoke access to unfamiliar devices from your account settings when available.

Legal and privacy notes

Robinhood's Terms & Policies and Privacy pages explain how your data is used and the limits of liability. Familiarize yourself with these documents — they contain useful details about account access, data retention, and dispute procedures. Links to these pages are included above.

Final checklist before signing in

• Is the URL correct and secured with HTTPS?
• Is your device patched and up to date?
• Is 2FA enabled and working?
• Do you have a password manager and strong unique password?

Signing in to a financial account deserves the same careful approach you apply to other important parts of your digital life. Small habits (strong passwords, 2FA, verified devices) compound into significant protection over time.

Example quick actions:
• Visit https://robinhood.com/login
• Click "Forgot password" if needed
• Open your authenticator app for the 6-digit code
• Contact Support from the official Support page if you need help
