This is an educational guide to help you access and protect your Robinhood account. This is not a login page and does not impersonate Robinhood. Always follow official channels when signing in.
Financial accounts are prime targets for attackers. Before signing in, always confirm you’re on the official Robinhood site (robinhood.com) or using the official app from Apple or Google app stores. On desktop, check the address bar carefully for typos; on mobile, verify the app publisher and reviews. Avoid signing in on public or untrusted Wi-Fi networks without a secure VPN.
Most account takeovers start with a user entering credentials on a fake page. Verifying the domain and TLS certificate is a quick habit that prevents many attacks. On desktop, check for subtle typos or extra characters; on mobile, check the app publisher and rating in the app store. If a message pressures you to "verify now" or "click here to secure your account," be skeptical — these are common phishing tactics.
Pick a long, random password — avoid dictionary words or reused credentials. Password managers (Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass) make it easy to use unique passwords for each financial account. If your email account is compromised, an attacker can reset many services, so secure your primary email with strong authentication as well.
Enable 2FA immediately after creating your account. Prefer authenticator apps (TOTP) like Google Authenticator or Authy, or use hardware security keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn) for the strongest protection. Avoid SMS-based 2FA when possible because SMS can be intercepted via SIM-swapping. Store recovery codes offline in a secure place so you can recover access if you lose your 2FA device.
When completing identity verification (KYC), upload documents only via official encrypted channels and the verified support portal. Keep copies of needed recovery information offline—never in plain text on cloud storage or photos on your phone. For long-term disaster protection, consider a fireproof safe or safety deposit box for critical recovery codes.
Send a very small test transfer when moving funds to or from Robinhood for the first time. Crypto transactions are irreversible; fiat transfers may have routing and timing rules. Confirm deposit/withdrawal addresses and use whitelisting for frequent destinations if the platform supports it. Keep a record of transaction IDs and timestamps in case of support inquiries.
Phishing attempts impersonate support or display urgent warnings to prompt action. Red flags include mismatched domains, poor grammar, requests for secrets, or attachments asking you to sign in. If you receive something suspicious, don’t click links. Open your browser and go to the official support page for guidance and to report the message.
