Sign in to your account quickly and securely. Follow this guide for step-by-step instructions, common issues, security tips, and helpful links.
Why secure login matters
Your Robinhood account gives access to sensitive financial data and the ability to trade. Protecting your account with strong login practices helps prevent unauthorized access and financial loss. Below you'll find a clear, user-friendly guide to signing in on desktop and mobile, plus immediate troubleshooting and security best practices.
Quick Sign-In (Desktop)
Open a modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari).
Navigate to the official Robinhood sign-in page: https://robinhood.com/login.
Enter the email address associated with your account in the Email field.
Enter your password in the Password field. Tip: use a password manager to paste a long, unique password.
If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, you'll be prompted for your verification code. Enter the code from your authenticator app or SMS.
Click Sign In. If credentials are correct, you'll be taken to your dashboard.
Sign in using the Robinhood mobile app on iOS or Android for a smoother experience.
Open the Robinhood app on your device.
Tap Sign In on the welcome screen.
Enter your email and password or use biometric sign-in if available and configured.
Complete any required 2FA step and tap Continue to access your account.
Tip: enable Face ID or fingerprint login if your device supports it — it speeds access while keeping security high.
Full Desktop Sign-In Walkthrough
1. Verify the URL
Always confirm you are on the correct website. Look for robinhood.com in the address bar and a secure padlock icon. Avoid logging in from links in unsolicited emails or messages.
2. Enter Credentials
Type your email and password carefully. If you use a password manager, let it fill the fields for you — it reduces the risk of phishing attacks.
3. Two-Factor Authentication
If enabled, Robinhood will request a second form of verification. Use an authenticator app (recommended) or SMS. Authenticator apps (Authy, Google Authenticator) are more secure than SMS.
4. Security Prompts
You might be asked to verify recent activity or confirm your device. Follow the prompts carefully. If something looks unfamiliar, pause and contact Robinhood support.
Troubleshooting: Can't Sign In?
If you run into problems signing in, try these steps first — they solve most common issues.
Incorrect password: Use the "Forgot password" link to reset it. Use a unique, strong password you haven't used elsewhere.
Account locked: Multiple failed attempts may temporarily lock access. Wait a few minutes before trying again and use the password reset flow if necessary.
2FA problems: If your authenticator app or phone isn't available, use backup codes you saved during setup, or follow the account recovery flow.
Suspicious activity: If you believe your account is compromised, contact Robinhood Support immediately and change your password from a secure device.
Browser issues: Clear cache and cookies, disable browser extensions, or try a private/incognito window.
Security Best Practices
Protecting your account requires both secure habits and the right tools. Adopt the following practices to lower the risk of unauthorized access:
Use a password manager: Generate and store long, unique passwords for every site.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Prefer authenticator apps over SMS when possible.
Watch out for phishing: Never enter credentials on pages that arrived through unsolicited emails or messages. Manually type robinhood.com into your browser or use a saved bookmark.
Keep software updated: Install OS and app updates promptly to patch security vulnerabilities.
Limit device access: Log out of shared or public computers. Use biometric or device-level locks on mobile devices.
Monitor account activity: Check your account for unfamiliar trades or withdrawals and report anything suspicious.
Account Recovery Steps
If you completely lose access to your account, follow the recovery steps:
Attempt password reset via the "Forgot password" link.
Use backup 2FA codes or alternate verification methods you previously configured.
If those aren't available, open a support ticket with Robinhood and be prepared to verify identity (photo ID, personal information, or other requested documents).
Follow instructions from official Robinhood channels only; do not share sensitive information in public forums.
