Verifying it's you
When you’re logging in or updating sensitive information, we may ask you for an additional verification code to make sure it's really you authorizing these updates.
When you’re logging in to your Robinhood account, we’ll ask you to verify your login with a second piece of information in addition to your password. This may use device approvals, a verification code generated with your preferred authenticator app, or a verification code sent to your phone number via text message. We do this to make sure that the login attempt is from a device that you have access to, and not from an attacker.
When you update sensitive Robinhood account information such as your email or phone number, we'll ask you to verify it's you through a device approval request or a verification code—either generated with your preferred authenticator app or sent to your phone number via text message. We do this to make sure that you've authorized these updates.
