Robinhood Account Login — Manage Your Investments

What this guide covers

This page explains how to sign in to your Robinhood account, best practices for choosing and protecting your password, setting up multi-factor authentication, and sensible steps to take if you encounter login problems.

Before you log in

1. Use a personal, secure device and a trusted network—avoid public Wi‑Fi for financial account access.
2. Confirm you are on Robinhood’s official site or official mobile app. Look for correct domain names and app store listings.
3. Have your authentication method (SMS, authenticator app) available if you have 2FA enabled.

How to log in — step by step

1. Open the Robinhood app or go to the official Robinhood website and click Log In.
2. Enter the email address associated with your Robinhood account and your password.
3. If prompted, complete two-factor authentication via SMS or an authenticator app.
4. Once authenticated, you will land on your portfolio dashboard where you can view balances, positions, and recent activity.

Tip: If you use a shared device, always log out when finished and avoid saving passwords in the browser.

Password best practices

1. Choose a unique, strong password: at least 12 characters with mixed case, numbers, and symbols.
2. Do not reuse your Robinhood password on other websites (especially email or banking sites).
3. Use a reputable password manager to create and store complex passwords securely.
4. Consider passphrases — a few unrelated words combined with punctuation are easier to remember and very strong.

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

1. Open your account settings in the Robinhood app or web dashboard.
2. Choose a 2FA method: SMS (less secure) or an authenticator app (recommended).
3. Follow the prompts to register your phone number or scan the QR code with an authenticator app.
4. Store backup codes in a secure, offline location in case you lose access to your 2FA device.

Authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator provide better security than SMS-based codes.

Forgot password & account recovery

1. On the login screen choose Forgot password? and enter your registered email.
2. Follow the password reset link sent to your email. If you don’t receive it, check spam/junk folders.
3. Robinhood may require identity verification for account recovery—have ID and account details ready if requested.

If your email account is compromised, an attacker could request resets—protect your email with strong passwords and 2FA.

Managing investments after login

1. Review your portfolio and recent notifications. Confirm transactions and unsettled trades before placing new orders.
2. Use limit orders and set alerts for price thresholds to manage risk and execution price slippage.
3. Regularly check account statements and tax documents available in the Robinhood account settings.

Security checklist

• Keep your device and Robinhood app updated to the latest version.
• Enable device-level security (biometrics, passcode) on your phone and lock your computer when away.
• Be skeptical of unsolicited emails or calls claiming to be Robinhood—never share your password or 2FA codes.
• Set up account notifications for logins and large transactions if available.

Troubleshooting common login issues

1. Can’t remember your email? Search your inbox for previous Robinhood emails to find the account address.
2. Not receiving 2FA codes? Confirm your phone number, check signal, and try an authenticator app if possible.
3. Account locked or suspicious activity? Contact Robinhood Support immediately through official channels and follow their identity verification steps.
