TD Ameritrade is an online broker for investors; with a wide range of services and tools. Part of its appeal is the easy-to-use interface that makes it simple for investors to manage their portfolios using TD Ameritrade's website and mobile app. But what happens if you forget your password? Here's how to reset your TD Ameritrade password and get back into your account.

Go to the TD Ameritrade Login Page

  • Go to the TD Ameritrade website and log in with your email address and password.
  • Under the Personal Information section, click on Account Settings.
  • Click on the Password Security tab and select Change Password from the drop-down menu next to Change Your Password at the top of the page.

Click Forgot Password?

After clicking on Forgot Password, enter the telephone number associated with your account and click Submit. You will receive an email with instructions to create a security question and answer, which you'll need to complete before resetting your password.

Telephone Number

If you're unsure which phone number to enter, call TD Ameritrade's 24/7 customer service number, and they'll be happy to help.

Create a Security Question and Answer

When you create a security question, it should be something that only you would know. This question can be anything from your favorite food to your dog's name. The more personal and unique the answer is, the better.

Ensure that the answer is not a common password, such as password1 or 123456. You also want to avoid using information like your birthday or social security number as this could make it easier for someone else to access your account if he/she has your personal information.

Check Your Email Inbox

  • Check your email inbox for an email with instructions, and click on the link to reset your password. You will receive a prompt to update your password by entering a security question and answer.
  • If you don't receive an email, check the junk folder in case TD Ameritrade mistakenly sent it there instead of in your inbox.
