Securing Your Robinhood Crypto®™ Account
Logging in is only one part of staying secure. Below are the best practices for protecting your Robinhood Crypto®™ wallet and personal data.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
2FA adds an extra layer of protection. To activate it:
- Go to Account → Settings → Security
- Enable “Two-Factor Authentication”
- Link a trusted authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy)
Use a Unique and Strong Password
Your Robinhood password should be unique, long, and difficult to guess. Avoid names, dates, or common patterns.
Secure Your Email
Since your email is the gateway to account recovery, make sure it's also protected with a strong password and 2FA.
Recognizing and Avoiding Threats
Phishing Emails
Hackers often impersonate Robinhood through emails. Always verify the sender and avoid clicking unknown links.
Fake Login Pages
Only enter credentials on robinhood.com. Double-check the URL and SSL certificate (lock icon in the browser).
Unsecured Wi-Fi
Avoid logging into your account on public or untrusted Wi-Fi. Use a VPN for added protection.
