Accessing Your Groww Investment Account
Our platform provides secure and convenient methods for investors in India to access their Groww accounts. Both web and mobile app logins are supported with uniform security standards. We incorporate two-factor authentication and biometric options where possible to enhance safety. Users can choose between email, mobile number, or integrated Google and Apple ID sign-ins. First-time device logins require extra verification to protect accounts from unauthorized access.
| Login Method | Security Level | Average Login Time | Device Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email + Password | High | 15 seconds | All devices |
| Mobile + OTP | Very High | 25 seconds | All devices |
| Google Account | High | 10 seconds | Android/Web |
| Biometric | Very High | 5 seconds | Mobile only |
Step-by-Step Login Process for Mobile App
Begin by downloading the Groww app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Supported Android versions start from 5.0 and iOS from 12.0. Open the app and tap “Login” on the welcome screen. Enter your registered email or mobile number and tap “Continue”. Proceed to input your password carefully, using the toggle to view characters if needed.
After entering your password, tap “Login” to authenticate. The system processes the credentials within a few seconds. On success, you reach your personalized dashboard displaying your portfolio and market data. In case of errors, the app displays precise messages such as incorrect password or unverified email.
Web Browser Login Instructions
Open a supported web browser, including Chrome 80+, Firefox 75+, Safari 13+, or Edge 80+. Visit the official Groww website and click the “Login” button at the top-right. Enter your registered email or mobile number in the prompt. Our platform uses SSL encryption and browser fingerprinting to secure your session.
Automatic logout occurs after 15 minutes of inactivity to protect accounts on shared devices. Session cookies store encrypted tokens valid for 24 hours, ensuring faster logins on the same browser. Clearing browser cache may resolve persistent login problems.
Browser-Specific Security Features
We enable CSRF protection and recommend enabling your browser’s password manager for additional security. Suspicious login attempts trigger alerts and may require extra verification. Manual logout is advised when using public or shared computers.
Two-Factor Authentication Setup
Enhance your account protection by activating two-factor authentication (2FA). Access “Account Settings” after signing in to locate the 2FA option. Choose between SMS-based OTP or an authenticator app for generating time-sensitive codes. SMS 2FA works with all major Indian networks like Jio, Airtel, and Vi.
Authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator can be installed from your device’s app store. Scan the QR code displayed in Groww’s security settings to link your account. Backup codes are provided during setup and must be stored offline securely.
Troubleshooting Common Login Issues
If you forget your password, use the “Forgot Password” link on the login screen. Submit your registered email to receive reset instructions valid for 24 hours. After five failed login attempts, accounts lock temporarily for 15 minutes to prevent brute force attacks.
Unverified email addresses block login even with correct credentials. Resend verification emails from the login screen if needed. Gmail users should check the “Promotions” tab, while other providers rarely delay delivery.
- Invalid credentials: Verify spelling and password accuracy
- Account not verified: Complete email verification first
- Too many attempts: Wait or recover account
- Session expired: Clear cache and retry
- Network error: Check connectivity and device
Account Security Best Practices
Create strong passwords with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Passwords should be at least 12 characters and unique to Groww. Enable automatic logout on shared devices from security settings, setting timers between 5 and 30 minutes.
Regularly review login activity logs accessible in your account dashboard. The system tracks the last 50 login attempts with timestamps, IP addresses, and device details. Suspicious activity triggers instant email alerts for prompt action.
Monitoring Account Activity
Report unauthorized access immediately to support. We freeze compromised accounts and investigate within 24 hours. Export your activity logs for personal record-keeping from the security dashboard.
| Security Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Password Complexity | Minimum 12 characters with mixed types |
| Auto Logout | Configurable inactivity timer (5-30 minutes) |
| Login Activity Log | Last 50 attempts with IP and device info |
| Email Alerts | Notifications on suspicious logins |
| Account Freeze | Temporary lock on suspected breaches |
Mobile App vs Web Platform Features
Groww’s mobile app supports biometric login methods including fingerprint, Face ID, and pattern unlock for faster access. The app provides push notifications for real-time alerts on market movements and order executions. Offline portfolio viewing is available for basic data access without internet.
