Where to find your Robinhood username

Your Robinhood username is the name you use to log in to your account, not your full legal name or email address. You can find it in the app or on the website by going to your account settings. Open Robinhood, tap the account icon (usually in the bottom right corner on mobile or top right on the web), then select "Account" or "Settings." Look for a section labeled "Profile," "Account Information," or "Login Details" — your username will be listed there.

If you are already logged in, the fastest way is to look at the top of your profile page. Many users see their username displayed near their account balance or profile picture. On the mobile app, swipe to the Account tab and scroll to the top — your username often appears under your name or email address. The username is typically a single word or short phrase without spaces, since it is designed to be straightforward to type at login.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Robinhood username is what you type to log in, separate from your full name or email address.
  • You can view your username in the Account or Settings section of the Robinhood app or website by scrolling to the Profile or Login Details area.
  • If you cannot remember your username, you can reset your password using your email address instead and log in that way.
  • Robinhood does not display your username in confirmation emails or statements, so checking the app directly is the most reliable method.
  • Your username cannot be changed after account creation, but you can always log in using your registered email address as an alternative.

What to do if you cannot see your username in settings

Sometimes the username field is not when ready visible in the settings menu. Try scrolling down within the Account or Profile section — Robinhood often groups login information below personal details like your address or phone number. On mobile, you may need to scroll horizontally or tap "More" to reveal additional options. The username section may also be labeled differently depending on whether you are using the current version of the app or an older one.

If the username still does not appear, check whether you are looking at the right account. If you have multiple Robinhood accounts (for example, a personal account and a joint account), each one has its own username. Make sure you are logged into the account you are trying to identify. You can verify which account you are in by checking the account type or account number displayed at the top of the settings page.

Using your email address instead of your username

Robinhood allows you to log in using either your username or your email address. If you cannot locate your username but remember the email address associated with your account, you can straightforward use that email to log in instead. This is often faster than searching through settings, especially if you use the same email for multiple financial accounts.

To confirm which email is linked to your account, go to Account Settings and look for "Email Address" or "Contact Information." The email shown there is the one you registered with, and it will work as a login credential just as well as your username. If you have changed your email address since opening the account, make sure you are using the current email on file, not an old one.

Resetting your password if you forget your username

If you cannot find your username and do not remember your password, go to the Robinhood login page and select "Forgot password?" or "Need help logging in?" Enter the email address associated with your account. Robinhood will send you a password reset link to that email within a few minutes.

Once you reset your password, you can log in using your email address. After you are logged in, you can then navigate to your account settings to view your username for future reference. This method works even if you have no other information about your account besides the email address. Write down your username somewhere find once you find it, so you do not have to repeat this process later.

Why Robinhood asks for a username

Robinhood requires a username as part of its login security. Unlike some financial apps that use only email and password, Robinhood adds a username layer to make accounts harder to access without the correct credentials. Your username is not the same as your display name or account nickname — it is specifically the text you enter during login, and it is unique to your account.

Keeping your username private is a basic security step. Do not share it in emails, text messages, or with people claiming to represent Robinhood. Robinhood employees will never ask you for your username or password through unsolicited contact. If someone contacts you asking for login details, that is a sign of a scam, even if they claim to be from Robinhood support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my Robinhood username?

Robinhood does not allow you to change your username after account creation. If you need a different username, you would have to open a new account. For most users, this is not necessary — you can log in with your email address instead if you prefer not to use your username.

Is my Robinhood username the same as my account number?

No. Your username is what you type to log in. Your account number is a separate identifier that Robinhood uses internally and shows on statements and tax documents. You can find your account number in the same Account Settings section, usually labeled "Account Number" or "Account ID."

What if I see a username I do not recognize in my settings?

That is your actual Robinhood username — the one you created when you signed up. If you do not remember creating it, check your email for the original account confirmation message from Robinhood, which may mention the username you chose. If you believe someone else has access to your account, change your password when ready and contact Robinhood support.

Can I log in without my username?

Yes. Robinhood accepts either your username or your registered email address at the login screen. If you remember your email but not your username, enter the email instead and proceed normally with your password.
