2-factor authentication

2-factor authentication (2FA) helps protect your Robinhood account by requiring two sources of verification to sign in: something you know (your password) and something you have (your mobile device). Every time you log in or make changes to your Robinhood account, you will get a request for a verification code.

All Robinhood accounts are protected with 2FA for new devices. This is a layer of security applied to all Robinhood accounts to keep your Robinhood account secure.

How it works

2FA can verify your identity by SMS. You will get a one-time code sent through SMS on your mobile device.

How to enable 2FA

Using SMS:

  1. Select Account (person icon)
  2. Select Security and privacy
  3. Select 2-factor authentication
  4. Select SMS
  5. Check your SMS messages and copy the verification code from Robinhood
  6. Paste the code into your Robinhood app, and select Continue
