If you're new to Robinhood or just want a fresh look at how to log in safely in 2025, you’re in the right place. This guide walks you through each step, plus tips to avoid mistakes and keep your account secure.

1. Before You Begin

Make sure you have a few things ready to make your login smooth:

• Your Robinhood email address or username — the one you used when signing up. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
• Your password. Remember passwords are case‑sensitive. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• If you’ve enabled Two‑Factor Authentication (2FA), you’ll need the method you chose (SMS, authenticator app, etc.). :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• A device with internet: phone, tablet or computer. Make sure your app or browser is updated. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

2. How to Login via Mobile App

Using mobile is often the easiest way:

1. Open the Robinhood app on your iPhone or Android device. If you don’t have it, download from the App Store or Google Play. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
2. On the app’s home screen, tap “Log In” or “Sign In.” :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
3. Enter your username or email, then your password. Double‑check for typos. Caps lock and spaces matter. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
4. If you have 2FA turned on, you’ll be asked to provide your verification code now. It might come via SMS or from your authenticator app. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
5. Once everything is correct, tap “Log In” or “Submit” and you’ll be taken to your account dashboard. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

3. How to Login via Web (Computer / Browser)

1. Open a trusted web browser like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Go to robinhood.com. Make sure the site is secure (look for “https://” and the padlock icon). :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
2. Find the “Log In” button, often at the top‑right of the homepage. Click it. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
3. Enter your email or username, then your password. Double check that you typed them correctly. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
4. If you've enabled 2FA, you’ll be prompted for the verification code here. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
5. After verifying, you’ll be logged in and can view your portfolio, balances, etc. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}

4. What Happens if You're Using a New Device

If you try to log in from a device you haven’t used before, Robinhood may ask for extra verification to make sure it’s really you. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

• You might have to approve the new device via your old device. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
• They may send you an SMS code. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
• They may ask for identity checks: a photo ID, selfie, or other proof. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
• If you had set up “Passkeys” (available for Apple devices), you might use that instead of a password for faster login. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}

5. Security Tips to Keep Your Account Safe

• Enable 2FA. It adds a second layer of protection even if someone gets your password. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}
• Use a strong password — mix upper and lower case letters, numbers, symbols. Don’t reuse it on other sites. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}
• Keep your email and phone number up to date. If you lose access to one, recovery is easier. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}
• Avoid using public Wi‑Fi when logging in — it can be less secure. If you must, use a VPN.
• Check for phishing attempts. Always make sure the site says “robinhood.com” and not something that looks fake. :contentReference[oaicite:22]{index=22}
• Log out when using a shared or public device. Remove saved passwords and exit the session.
• Keep your app and browser updated. Updates often fix security and login bugs. :contentReference[oaicite:23]{index=23}

6. Common Login Problems & Solutions

• Forgot Password: Click “Forgot Password?” and follow the steps. You’ll get an email or SMS to reset your password. :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}
• Wrong Email / Username: Make sure you’re using the same email/username used when signing up. If not sure, check older emails from Robinhood. :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25}
• 2FA Code Not Working: If using SMS, make sure your phone has signal. If using an authenticator app, check that it’s synced properly. :contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26}
• Browser/App Errors: Sometimes clearing cache, restarting the app, or reinstalling helps. Also check you have the latest version. :contentReference[oaicite:27]{index=27}
• Account Locked or Suspended: This can happen after many failed login attempts or suspected fraud. You’ll usually get a notification or email. If that happens, contact Robinhood support. :contentReference[oaicite:28]{index=28}
• New Device Verification Fails: If Robinhood asks for ID or selfie, follow the instructions. Make sure photos are clear. If something’s wrong, reach out to support. :contentReference[oaicite:29]{index=29}

• If you choose “stay signed in,” use it only on private devices. If you don’t see that option, just close the browser/app after using.
• Check your account settings once logged in — make sure security options (2FA, device approvals) are turned on.
• Regularly review your login history or recent device activity (if Robinhood shows it) to see if anything looks unusual.
• If you ever think your account is compromised (password leak, weird login), reset your password immediately and contact support.
