Robinhood Login — Quick guide to signing in, troubleshooting & securing your account
Clear, step-by-step instructions for web and mobile users plus best practices for account recovery and safety.
Overview
Logging into Robinhood lets you manage investments, transfer funds, and view account activity. This guide covers the standard sign-in process, troubleshooting tips when login fails, how to recover access, and recommendations to keep your account secure.
How to sign in (Desktop & Mobile)
Follow these steps depending on your device:
On the web (desktop/laptop)
- Open your browser and go to the Robinhood sign in page.
- Enter the email address or username attached to your account.
- Type your password. If you use a password manager, confirm it fills the correct fields.
- Complete any two-factor authentication (2FA) prompts if enabled (SMS/code app).
- Click Sign In to access your dashboard.
On the Robinhood mobile app (iOS / Android)
- Open the Robinhood app.
- Tap Log In.
- Enter your email/username and password.
- Approve the 2FA prompt if required.
Common login problems & fixes
- Forgot password: Use the "Forgot password" link on the sign-in page to request a password-reset email and follow the instructions.
- Incorrect email/username: Try alternate email addresses you may have used or check saved credentials in your password manager.
- 2FA issues: If you no longer have access to your phone number or authenticator app, use account recovery (see the Account Recovery section).
- App crashes or won’t load: Update the app, clear the app cache (Android), or reinstall the app. Restart your device if needed.
- Security lockouts: Multiple failed attempts may temporarily block sign-in — wait a few minutes and try again or follow the account recovery steps.
Account recovery & password reset
If you can’t sign in at all:
- Start with the "Forgot password" flow to reset your password via your registered email.
- If you no longer control that email or phone number, look for an account recovery link or contact Robinhood support through their official help channels. Prepare identifying details like full name, date of birth, last transactions and any IDs they request.
- Be prepared for verification steps — account recovery prioritizes security and may take time.
Security best practices
- Enable two-factor authentication (prefer an authenticator app over SMS when available).
- Use a strong, unique password and a reputable password manager.
- Monitor account activity and set up account alerts for logins or transfers.
- Beware phishing emails: verify sender addresses and never share your password or 2FA codes.
- Keep your mobile OS and app up to date to receive security patches.
Quick FAQs
Q: What if I see an unknown device logged in?
A: Immediately change your password, sign out other sessions if available, enable 2FA, and contact support.
