Security best practices

Using strong passwords, learning how to identify scams, and monitoring your login activity can help protect your account.

Strengthen your password

One of the most important things you can do is use a strong password for your Robinhood account. A strong password:

  • Is one you don’t use for any other app or service or share with anyone
  • Contains at least 10 characters
  • Includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters
  • Is generated and safely stored in a password manager

A great way to make a strong password is to use a passphrase that’s easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess. You can also consider using a password manager to create and store strong passwords as well.

Never share your password. If you’ve shared your Robinhood credentials with anyone else or if you use the same password for a different online account, change your password immediately.

Monitor your login activity

Device monitoring allows you to view and manage every device that has been used to log in to your Robinhood account.

To view your devices:

  1. Select Account (person icon) → Menu (3 bars) or Settings
  2. Select Security and privacyDevices to view them

It’s important to remain vigilant and keep an eye on your activity. We recommend regularly reviewing the listed devices and removing any you don’t recognise or no longer use. If you see activity that you don’t recognise or didn’t authorise on your account, or have any other reason to believe it has been compromised, contact Robinhood Support immediately by emailing report@robinhood.com or by requesting a call from a live agent within your Robinhood account.

Learn how to identify scams

Scammers can target any account, and learning how to identify scams can help you safeguard your information and account.

Phishing is a common way scammers try to target you in order to obtain sensitive information, such as your username and password, Robinhood account information, or National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) number or passport number. A scammer may call, email, or text you, or even reach out to you via social media, pretending to be someone from Robinhood or another company or authority you know or trust. Remember that scam websites, links, and social media profiles may look similar to real websites or profiles you recognise.

Keep in mind

Robinhood Support will never do the following:

  • Ask you for your Robinhood account password
  • Ask you for your account information or credentials for other trading platforms
  • Ask you to send money through different apps, such as CashApp or WhatsApp, or text messages
  • Ask you to transfer assets
  • Request that you download remote desktop access software
