Robinhood Login — Quick overview

Robinhood is a popular commission-free trading platform for stocks, ETFs, options, and crypto. This guide shows how to sign into your Robinhood account on web and mobile, common login problems and fixes, two-factor authentication (2FA) tips, account recovery steps, and best practices to keep your investment account safe.

How to sign in (step-by-step)

You can sign in to Robinhood using the mobile app (iOS or Android) or through the web. The process is straightforward:

Open the Robinhood app or go to the Robinhood website.
Enter your registered email address or phone number and your password.
If prompted, complete the two-factor authentication challenge (SMS, authenticator app, or push notification).
On a new device, confirm any security prompts sent to your email or phone.

Troubleshooting common login problems

If you can’t sign in, try the following in order — most issues are resolved by these quick steps.

Double-check that your email/phone and password are entered correctly (watch for accidental spaces or wrong keyboard language).
Use the “Forgot password?” link to request a reset email if your password is incorrect.
Ensure app or browser is updated — an outdated version can cause errors.
Clear browser cache or try a different browser or private/incognito mode to rule out extension conflicts.
If 2FA codes aren’t arriving, check your device’s time sync (for authenticator apps) and that your SMS is not blocked by carrier filters.

Important: Never share your password, email confirmation codes, or authenticator codes. Robinhood support will never ask you for your full password.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) and device security

Enabling 2FA significantly improves account security. Robinhood supports SMS and authenticator apps (e.g., Google Authenticator). For the strongest protection, use an authenticator app or hardware security key when available.

Enable 2FA from account settings after you sign in.
Store recovery codes in a secure password manager or a safe physical location.
Remove old devices and browser sessions from your account settings regularly.

Account recovery: locked out or lost access

If you lose access to your email or 2FA device, follow Robinhood’s account recovery flow: use the password reset option, follow prompts to verify identity, and supply any requested verification documents. If automated recovery fails, contact Robinhood Support through official in-app help or the website and be ready to provide identity verification (photo ID, account details, and answers to security questions).

Security best practices

Use a long, unique password stored in a reputable password manager.
Enable 2FA (preferably via authenticator app or hardware key).
Enable biometric unlock on mobile devices (Face ID/Touch ID) for convenience without compromising security.
Keep your email account secured with 2FA — it’s often the recovery channel for financial services.
Be cautious of phishing attempts — check sender addresses and avoid clicking links in unsolicited messages.

When to contact support

Contact Robinhood Support if you suspect unauthorized access, cannot recover your account using available tools, or need help with sensitive actions like withdrawing funds. Use the official in-app help or support channels — avoid sharing personal details on public forums.
