Robinhood Login — Quick Guide to Sign In, Recover Access & Stay Secure
This page provides a concise, step-by-step Robinhood login guide: how to sign in on mobile and web, troubleshoot common problems, reset access, and follow security best practices to protect your investing account.
How to Sign In (Web and Mobile)
Web: Open robinhood.com, click Log In at the top-right, enter your email/username and password, then complete two-factor authentication (if enabled).
Mobile (iOS / Android): Launch the Robinhood app, tap Log In, enter your credentials and 2FA code. If biometric login is enabled, you can use Face ID or fingerprint for future sign-ins.
Troubleshooting Common Login Problems
- Wrong password: Use the Forgot password link to request a reset email. Follow the instructions and create a strong, unique password.
- No 2FA code: If you use an authenticator app and codes don’t work, check device time sync or use backup codes (if you saved them).
- App crashes or won’t load: Force-close and reopen, clear app cache (Android), or reinstall the app. Ensure your OS is updated.
- Account locked or suspicious activity: Contact Robinhood Support immediately using the in-app help or official support channels.
Account Recovery & Resetting Access
If you can't sign in, follow these steps:
- Use Forgot password to receive a reset link by email.
- If you have lost access to your 2FA device, check for saved backup codes. If none, use the account recovery flow in the app which may require ID verification.
- If automated recovery fails, reach out to Robinhood Support and be prepared to provide identity verification (government ID, selfie, recent account details).
Security Best Practices
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) with an authenticator app — it’s safer than SMS.
- Use a unique, strong password and a reputable password manager.
- Enable biometric login for convenience without weakening security.
- Monitor account notifications and enable email / push alerts for logins and transfers.
When to Contact Support
Contact Robinhood Support if you notice unauthorized trades, withdrawals you didn't authorize, account lockouts that you cannot resolve with the automated flows, or identity verification issues. Use only official channels within the app or verified contact pages.
