This guide walks you through every step required to log into your Robinhood account: from opening the site or app, to multi-factor verification, handling locked accounts, and security best practices. Whether you’re a brand-new user or returning after a break, follow these steps in order to sign in safely and troubleshoot common obstacles.
Open a browser and go to the official Robinhood sign-in page. Use a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox). Avoid clicking links in random emails — type the URL or use a bookmark.
Open the Robinhood app on iOS or Android — apps are generally faster for MFA prompts (push notifications) and for contacting support from inside the app.
On desktop type https://robinhood.com/login or open the Robinhood app and choose "Log In". Confirm the site uses HTTPS and the domain is correct before entering credentials.
Type the email address associated with your account. If you have multiple email addresses, use the one you registered with. Avoid copy-pasting from unknown documents — type it or use your saved browser autofill.
Type your password into the password field. If you use a password manager, allow it to fill the field. If you see unexpected prompts or the page layout looks off, close the page and try again.
Robinhood often requires a second step: a time-based one-time password (TOTP), SMS code, or a push notification to the Robinhood app. Open your authenticator or check your phone for the code, then enter it promptly.
For new devices or locations, Robinhood may prompt to "Approve this device." Approve only when you recognize the device and location. If not recognized, choose "Don't approve" and contact support.
On success you’ll land on your Home / Portfolio screen. Verify that balances and holdings display correctly. If anything looks abnormal (unexpected trades), contact Robinhood Support immediately.
MFA adds a second barrier so stolen passwords alone won’t give full access. Use an authenticator (Google Authenticator, Authy) over SMS when possible — authenticator apps are more resistant to SIM-swapping.
If you frequently log in from new devices, review the approved devices list in your account settings and remove any you don’t recognize.
Use the "Forgot password" link on the login page. Follow the email instructions to reset; check your spam folder if you don’t see it. If the reset link expires, request a new one.
If Robinhood locks your account due to suspicious activity or multiple failed login attempts, do not create a new account. Use the official support channels to prove identity — expect identity verification steps for safety.
Generate and store a long unique password. That reduces the risk if another service leaks credentials.
Authenticator apps (TOTP) are safer than SMS. Save backup codes in a physically secure location.
Phishing emails and texts mimic Robinhood branding. Always check the sender, domain, and never enter credentials from an emailed link unless you verified the URL.
Review recent activity, linked bank accounts, and external transfers. Immediately flag anything unusual through official support channels.
Below are direct official pages useful during login, support, and legal reference. Each link is styled so you can visually use them in a presentation.
Tip: When presenting these links in slides, use the colored blocks as buttons. Replace target URLs with your organization's tracked links if needed for analytics.
