Why login security matters
Your Robinhood account controls investments and withdrawal options — the login is the front line. Strong authentication, sensible session policies, and awareness of phishing attacks are essential to prevent unauthorized access and financial loss.
Practical steps
- Create a unique, high-entropy password with a password manager.
- Enable additional verification methods offered (authenticator apps or hardware keys where supported).
- Keep recovery contacts and email addresses up to date for account recovery notices.
Session hygiene
Regularly check active sessions and sign out of devices you no longer use. Immediately revoke sessions if a device is lost or you see suspicious activity.
Quick reminder: Robinhood support will never ask for your full password or private keys. Treat any request for those as malicious.
