Quickstart: Signing In
Accessing Robinhood® safely begins with a secure login. Always use a strong password, enable multi-factor authentication, and keep your devices updated to protect your account.
1
Use a verified email address to register and receive confirmation.
2
Create a strong, unique password and store it securely using a password manager.
3
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) via an authenticator app or security key.
4
Review device activity and revoke any unrecognized sessions.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA adds an extra layer of security to your Robinhood account. Use TOTP authenticator apps or hardware security keys whenever possible. Avoid SMS-based MFA for sensitive accounts.
TOTP
Use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy. Keep your backup codes safe offline.
Security Keys
Hardware keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn) provide phishing-resistant authentication.
Security tip: Store backup codes offline and never share your authentication details.
Account Recovery
If you lose access, use backup codes or contact Robinhood support for account recovery. Ensure identity documents are up-to-date for a smooth recovery process.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure correct email and password.
