Robinhood Login — How to Sign In and Keep Your Account Secure

This concise guide walks you through the Robinhood Login process, common problems and fixes, two-factor authentication (2FA) setup, and account recovery steps. Perfect for new and returning users.

Quick overview

Robinhood offers a mobile app (iOS and Android) and a web portal for trading stocks, ETFs, options, and crypto. To access your account you need your registered email/username and password. For improved security, Robinhood supports multi-factor authentication and additional account recovery options.

How to sign in (step-by-step)

Open the Robinhood app or visit robinhood.com on your browser.
Enter the email address or username you used to register.
Type your password and tap Sign In. On desktop, click the Sign In button.
If 2FA is enabled, enter the verification code sent to your phone or generated by your authenticator app.
Once verified, you’ll land on your account dashboard.

Troubleshooting common login issues

Forgot password: Use the Forgot Password link on the sign-in screen and follow the emailed reset link.
Incorrect credentials: Double-check for typos and ensure Caps Lock is off.
App not loading: Update the app, clear cache, or reinstall the app. Restarting your device often helps.
Verification code not received: Confirm your phone number in account settings or check your SMS/voice settings with your carrier. Also check spam filters for email codes.
Account locked: Repeated failed logins may temporarily lock access. Follow on-screen instructions or contact Robinhood Support.

Setting up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2FA adds a second verification step beyond your password. Robinhood supports SMS-based codes and authenticator apps. Steps to enable:

Open Account > Security inside the app.
Select Two-Factor Authentication and choose SMS or an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator).
Follow prompts to verify and save backup codes in a secure place.

Account recovery & support

If you lose access to your email or phone, contact Robinhood Support through the app or their official help center. Have proof of identity ready (government ID, recent account activity) to speed up verification.

Security tips

Use a unique, strong password and a password manager.
Enable 2FA and store backup codes offline.
Beware of phishing: always confirm the URL and never share your password or codes.
Keep your app and device OS up to date.
