H3 — On mobile (iOS / Android)

H4 — Passkeys and modern sign-in

Robinhood supports modern sign-in options like passkeys and mobile-based verification to reduce password reuse risks. Always prefer strong, unique credentials and enable an authenticator app where available. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

H2 — Security: lock your account down

Protecting your investment account is top priority. Below are recommended security steps that every Robinhood user should do right away.

H3 — Top security practices

• Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Use an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy) or hardware key when possible. 2FA is an essential second factor that prevents many account takeovers. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• Use strong, unique passwords: a password manager helps create and store secure credentials.
• Beware phishing: Robinhood will never pressure you to act urgently via email — report suspicious messages. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• Set up account recovery options: verify your phone number and check recovery email regularly.
• Consider a hardware security key: for the highest protection, a YubiKey or similar device can be paired with many services. (Optional but recommended for heavy traders.) :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

H4 — How to enable 2FA in Robinhood (short)

1. Open the app → Account (profile) → Settings → Security and privacy → Two-factor authentication.
2. Choose SMS or authenticator app and follow on-screen prompts. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

H2 — Troubleshooting: can't log in?

If you face login problems, follow this checklist. Many root causes are simple fixes.

H3 — Quick checklist

• Confirm you’re using the official login page or app (avoid links in random emails). :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• Check your internet connection and any VPNs that might block auth services.
• Try resetting your password from the official "I forgot my password" flow.
• If you don’t receive 2FA codes, check your SMS service or authenticator app; try the “Need help?” options on the login screen. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
• Use the "Sign in with a new device" help article if you lost your old phone. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
• If all else fails, contact Robinhood Support via the app’s Help → Support or the Contact page. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}

H4 — Common error scenarios

H5 — "Invalid credentials"

Double-check caps-lock, keyboard language and password autofill. If forgotten, use the reset flow.

H5 — "Verification code not received"

Try the authenticator app option or request the code again; verify that your phone has signal and SMS is working. Consider switching to an authenticator app for reliability. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

If Robinhood has temporarily restricted access (for verification or security), follow the instructions in your email or in-app messages and contact Support. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
