How to Sign In to OANDA (Step-by-step)

This guide explains how to perform an OANDA login on desktop and mobile, common problems and fixes, account recovery steps, and practical security tips so you can access your trading account with confidence.

1. Quick login (web)

Open your browser and go to OANDA or directly to the login page.
Click Sign in (or Log in) at the top right.
Enter your registered email address and password, then click Sign in.
If you use single sign-on (SSO) or a broker-connected account, choose the appropriate provider and follow on-screen steps.

2. Login via mobile app

Download the OANDA Trade app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Open the app and tap Log in. Use the same email and password tied to your account. If you enabled biometric sign-in (fingerprint/Face ID), you can enable that after the first successful login.

3. Two-factor authentication (2FA)

OANDA supports 2FA for added security. If you have 2FA enabled, you will be prompted to enter a code from your authenticator app or SMS. If you lose access to your 2FA method, follow the account recovery steps below.

Tip: Save your trusted device after successful login to reduce repeated 2FA prompts, but only on personal devices.

4. Troubleshooting common login issues

Incorrect password: Use the Forgot password link to reset. Check your spam folder for reset emails.
Can't find email: Make sure you're using the email address registered with OANDA. Try any work or personal addresses you might have used.
Browser issues: Clear cache and cookies or try an incognito/private window. Ensure JavaScript is enabled.
App problems: Update the app, restart your device, or reinstall the app.
Account locked: Multiple failed attempts may temporarily lock access; wait 30 minutes or contact support.

5. Account recovery and reset

If you cannot log in, use the Forgot password option. For lost 2FA, look for an account recovery link when prompted, or contact OANDA support. You'll typically need to confirm identity with email verification and possibly additional KYC documents for high-security account resets.

6. Security best practices

Use a strong, unique password and a reputable password manager.
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (preferred over SMS).
Never share your password or verification codes.
Monitor account activity and set up trading notifications and email alerts.

7. Contact support

If problems persist, reach out to OANDA support through the official website help center or the contact page. Provide account details (but never share your password) and a clear description of the issue.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How long does a password reset take?
