Device approvals

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.

What are device approvals?

Device approvals are an extra level of security meant to help keep your Robinhood account safe. Any time you update your account information or log in to Robinhood on 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 help secure your Robinhood account instantly.

Enabling device approvals

In the app or on the web:

  1. Select Account (person icon) → Menu (3 bars) or Settings (gear)
  2. Select Security and privacy
  3. Select Device approvals
  4. When prompted, enter the verification code sent as a text message to your phone number, and confirm your settings

What to do with an unexpected device approval?

If you receive an unexpected notification on your device and it isn’t you taking the action:

  1. Review the activity and select Deny to block the attempt
  2. After that, immediately change your password
  3. Review devices associated with your account and remove any you no longer use or don’t recognise
