Security best practices
1. Use a strong, unique password
A strong password is long (12+ characters), unique to Robinhood, and not used on other sites. Consider a password manager to store complex passwords safely.
2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
Turn on 2FA for your account. Choose an authenticator app (recommended) or SMS-based codes as a fallback.
3. Watch out for phishing
Always check the URL, never share one-time passwords or verification codes, and verify messages that ask for credentials.
4. Monitor account activity
Review recent activity and account statements regularly. If you spot anything suspicious, contact Robinhood support immediately.
Device management
Remove access for old devices and sign out of lost devices via Account Settings > Security.
Troubleshooting common login issues
Forgot password
Use the password reset flow at Reset Password. You’ll receive instructions at your registered email or phone.
Account locked or suspicious activity
If your account is locked or you’re asked for identity verification, follow the prompts and contact support if needed. Keep documentation handy for identity checks.
2FA problems
If you lose access to your authenticator or phone, use your recovery codes or contact support for additional verification steps. Avoid uninstalling authenticator apps while you still need access.
