How to fix no login credentials from Zerodha after account opening

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

No welcome or login email from Zerodha usually means the credentials were never issued, not that they were lost in transit. Zerodha sends login credentials within 48 working hours of you completing the account-opening process and passing document verification. When nothing arrives, the two documented causes are an incomplete application that never reached verification, or supporting documents that were rejected. Before raising a ticket, three checks settle most cases: the spam and promotions folders, the registered email address, and the account-opening status tracker.

How to set up your password on Zerodha

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Zerodha never sends you a ready-made password. When your account opens, the welcome email from welcome@zerodha.com carries your 12-character user ID and a link to set the password yourself, nothing more. The absence of a password in that email is the design, not a delivery failure. This guide walks the first-login setup: opening the welcome email, creating the password, and configuring the 6-digit PIN or TOTP authenticator that the SEBI two-factor rule makes compulsory on every Kite login.

Why the Zerodha welcome email has a user ID but no password

The Zerodha welcome email carries your user ID and a link to create your own password, and it deliberately contains no password, because Zerodha stores passwords only as one-way encrypted hashes that it cannot read, let alone email. The user ID it delivers, also called the client ID, is the six-character code (two letters then four digits, such as AB1234) you use to log in to Kite and Console . The password is something you set yourself on first login through the credential-creation link, gated by a one-time password to your registered mobile and email. This article explains the security model behind that split, why no broker emails a password, and what to do when the credential link has expired.
