Step 1: Choose Your Platform – Mobile App, Desktop, or Web
Before we begin, the first question to ask yourself is: How do you prefer to access Webull? Webull offers incredible flexibility, allowing you to manage your investments from virtually anywhere.
Mobile App: The Webull mobile app (available for iOS and Android) is perfect for on-the-go trading. It's designed for intuitive navigation and quick access to market data. If you already have the app downloaded, great! If not, head to your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS) and search for "Webull: Investing & Trading" or similar.
Desktop Application: For a more comprehensive trading experience with larger charts and multiple windows, the Webull desktop application is your best bet. It offers advanced charting tools and a robust trading interface. You'll need to download and install this from the official Webull website.
Webull Web Platform: If you prefer not to download any software, the Webull web platform allows you to access your account directly through your web browser. This is a convenient option for quick checks or when using a shared computer.
Once you've decided on your preferred access method, proceed to the relevant section below.

Choose Your 2FA Method: Depending on your setup, Webull might send a verification code via:
SMS (Text Message): A code will be sent to your registered phone number.

Many modern smartphones offer biometric login options like fingerprint scanning or facial recognition (Face ID). If your device supports it and you've enabled it in your Webull settings, you might be able to log in with just a touch or glance after your initial password entry. This makes subsequent logins incredibly fast and secure.

Remember to choose a strong, unique password with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Verify your phone number/email: Ensure the phone number or email displayed for sending the code is indeed the one you have access to.
Wait a moment and request a resend: Sometimes there's a slight delay. Request a new code after a minute or two.
Check network connectivity: Ensure your phone has good signal for SMS, or your internet is working for email/authenticator app.
Time sync for authenticator apps: If using an authenticator app, ensure your device's time is synchronized correctly with network time.
Contact Webull Support: If you've tried everything and still can't get the code, reach out to Webull customer service.
