Device approvals add an extra layer of security to your Robinhood account. When you update your account information or log in with a new device, we’ll send a notification to each of your mobile devices to verify it’s really you taking the action. You can either approve the notification to complete the action, or deny it to block the action and secure your account instantly.

In some cases, you may need to complete additional identity verification steps to ensure your account’s security. These measures are designed to protect your account and keep it safe. Verifying it’s you and Security best practices have more details.
