How to sign in (quick steps)
1. Open the official Robinhood app
Launch the Robinhood mobile app you downloaded from the official App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Avoid opening login links sent by email or text unless you confirmed the message is from Robinhood.
2. Enter your phone number or email
Type the phone number or email address associated with your Robinhood account. Make sure there are no extra spaces or typos.
3. Use your secure passcode or password
If you set up a passcode or device PIN, use that; otherwise enter your account password. If you forgot your password, tap Forgot password to start the official password reset flow.
4. Complete two-factor verification (if enabled)
Robinhood often uses two-factor authentication (2FA). You may receive a one-time code by SMS, an authenticator app, or a push prompt. Enter or approve the code to finish signing in.
Troubleshooting common issues
Can't receive SMS codes?
Check your phone signal, confirm your carrier is not blocking short codes, and ensure the phone number on file is current. If problems persist, consider switching to an authenticator app in your account's security settings.
Forgot password or locked out
Use the app's official password reset link. You will be guided through identity verification steps. Be careful: avoid third-party pages that mimic this flow.
Device or app update problems
Keep your mobile OS and app updated. Reinstalling the official app can resolve some issues, but always re-download from the App Store / Google Play only.
Best practices for account safety
- Enable two-factor authentication and use an authenticator app.
- Never reuse passwords — use a strong, unique password for your brokerage account.
- Use a reputable password manager to store credentials and generate random passwords.
- Enable device-level security (biometrics or passcode) for the app when available.
- Beware of phishing: check sender addresses and avoid clicking unexpected links that ask for logins.
