Getting Started
Log on to Scottrade
Go to www.scottrade.com and look to the upper right area of the screen for the Secure Login box. Enter your account number in the Account # box and your password in the Password box. Click the Log In button to go to your Scottrade home page. Your home page is the default setting, but if you would like to select another start page, you can do that by making a selection in the drop-down menu on the Secure Login page under your Account #, Password and Language Preference.
If either your account number or your password were entered incorrectly, you'll receive a message saying so within the Secure Login section. Check that Caps Lock is not set on your computer and follow the directions above to try again.
Note: When you type your password, you will see something like •••• or **** instead of your password text. This is a standard browser security measure implemented so that someone isn't able to steal your password by simply looking at your computer screen.
Log off of Scottrade
To immediately log off of Scottrade at any time, click the Log Off button found in the top right corner of every page. After clicking, you'll be taken to a Secure Login page.
For security reasons, the Scottrade site will automatically log you off after 90 minutes of inactivity.
Note: For additional security, be sure to verify that the Secure Login page is shown after clicking the Log Off button.
