Go to Robinhood Login (opens in a new tab)

Pre-Login Checklist (What you'll need)

Before you start

  • Your Robinhood username (or email) and password.
  • Access to the device that receives authentication codes (phone or email).
  • Stable internet connection—avoid public Wi‑Fi for security reasons.
  • Latest version of the Robinhood app if using mobile (App Store / Google Play).

Tip: Use a password manager to store credentials securely rather than reusing weak passwords.

Step-by-Step: Logging in on the Web

Steps

  1. Open your browser and visit robinhood.com.
  2. Click Log In at the top-right or visit /login.
  3. Enter your username or email, then your password. Click Log in.
  4. If prompted, complete two-factor authentication (2FA) using your SMS code or authenticator app.
  5. Once verified, you'll land on your portfolio/dashboard.

What if the login button doesn’t respond?

Clear your browser cache, disable ad blockers temporarily, or try an Incognito window. If problems persist, try a different browser.

Step-by-Step: Logging in on Mobile

Using the Robinhood app (iOS & Android)

  1. Open the Robinhood app. If you don’t have it, download from the App Store or Google Play.
  2. Tap Log in on the welcome screen.
  3. Type your username/email and password, then tap to continue.
  4. Approve any 2FA requests (push notification, SMS, or authenticator app).
  5. Enable optional biometric login (Face ID / fingerprint) for faster future access.

Enable app updates automatically so you always have the latest security fixes.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Why 2FA matters

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second verification step beyond your password. It helps stop unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.

Common 2FA methods

  • SMS codes sent to your phone.
  • Time-based codes from an authenticator app (recommended).
  • Push approvals sent to your registered device.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and fixes

  • Forgot password: Use the "Forgot password" link on the login page to reset via email.
  • Didn’t receive a 2FA code: Check phone signal, spam filters, or use backup codes/authenticator app.
  • Account locked: Contact Robinhood Support; do not share credentials with third parties.

Security Best Practices

Keep your account safe

  • Use a strong, unique password and a reputable password manager.
  • Enable 2FA (authenticator app preferred over SMS).
  • Never share login details or temporary authentication codes.
  • Beware of phishing—never click suspicious links claiming to be Robinhood unless verified.

Advanced Tips

Convenience without sacrificing security

Consider setting up biometric login for your mobile device, but keep 2FA and your password strong. Use trusted devices and log out on shared computers.

Monitoring

Regularly review account activity and enable email notifications for new logins or security events.
