Robinhood Login — Quick sign-in, troubleshooting & security tips
Clear, actionable steps to sign in to your Robinhood account, fix common issues, recover access, and keep your account secure.
How to sign in to Robinhood (web & mobile)
- Open the Robinhood app on your smartphone or visit robinhood.com from a desktop browser.
- Tap or click Log in. Enter the email address or username associated with your account and your password.
- If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, enter the verification code sent to your authenticator app or phone.
- After verification you should be signed in and taken to your portfolio or home screen.
Tip: Use the official Robinhood app downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store — avoid third-party app stores.
Troubleshooting common login problems
- Forgot password: Use the “Forgot password?” link on the login page to request a reset email. Follow the link and set a new password.
- Not receiving verification codes: Check your phone signal, SMS filtering, and spam folders for email-based codes. If you use an authenticator app, ensure the device time is correct.
- App crashes or won’t load: Update the app, restart your device, and try again. Reinstall the app only if necessary.
- Account locked: Multiple failed attempts may temporarily lock login. Wait a short time and try again or follow account recovery steps below.
Account recovery & unable-to-login steps
If you can't access your email, phone, or authenticator, open the Robinhood app or website and choose the account recovery option. You may be asked to:
- Verify personal information (name, date of birth, SSN last 4 digits in the US).
- Upload identity documents if requested.
- Contact Robinhood Support directly when automated recovery isn't sufficient.
If your account involves funds or securities, account recovery can include additional verification steps for safety and regulatory compliance.
Security best practices
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) with an authenticator app rather than SMS when possible.
- Use a strong, unique password stored in a reputable password manager.
- Keep your device OS and apps updated, and avoid public Wi-Fi when accessing finances.
- Beware of phishing: do not click links from unknown emails or texts claiming to be Robinhood. Always verify sender addresses and visit the official site directly.
FAQ
- Q: I changed my phone — how do I move 2FA?
- A: If you used an authenticator app, transfer or reconfigure the authenticator on the new device using recovery codes or by scanning the QR in your account settings (if you can still sign in).
- Q: How long does password reset take?
- A: Password reset emails should arrive within minutes. If not, check spam folders and ensure the correct email is entered.
