Deriv Login Guide (2025): Access Your Real, MT5 & Mobile Account Easily

Logging into Deriv should be simple — but many traders get stuck.

I’ve been with Deriv since 2016, and over the years I’ve seen the same login issues again and again:

• Logging in with the wrong method (especially if you used Google or Facebook to sign up)
• Confusion between the Deriv.com login and the MT5 login
• App errors or invalid credentials on mobile
• Forgotten passwords, wrong server, or mistyped login IDs

This guide will save you the headache.

Whether you’re trying to access your real account, log into MT5, or use Deriv Go or Deriv X — I’ll show you exactly what works in 2025, plus how to fix common login problems.

🧭 Before You Do Deriv Log In: Quick Checklist

✅ Already signed up for a Deriv account? If not, open one here — it only takes a few minutes.

✅ Use the same method you used during registration:

• If you signed up using Google, Apple, or Facebook, you must use that same method to log in
• If you used email and password, that’s your default method — and personally the one I recommend for better control

✅ Double-check your internet connection. Weak or unstable internet often causes login issues, especially on MT5 or mobile.

1. Log in to Deriv.com (Main Website): Deriv Login With Email

This is your primary account. This allows you to trade binary options, multipliers, and to access the Trader’s Hub with the rest of your accounts.

Here’s how to do Deriv login with email login and password

✅ Step-by-step (Web Browser)

Once inside, you’ll see your dashboard and wallet.

1. Visit Deriv.com. Always cross-check the URL to avoid phishing scams. The correct URL is www.deriv.com. Be sure of this before you do Deriv sign in with email
2. Click “Log In” at the top right.
3. Choose your login method:

• Email + Password (default)
• Google / Facebook / Apple if you registered with one of those (see instructions below)

4. Once inside, you’ll see your dashboard and wallet.

TIP: This is how you do Deriv login with email sign up. If you used Google signup, you won’t be able to use your email and password unless you reset and unlink Google first.

Logging in With Gmail, Facebook, or Apple? Read This First

If you signed up using Gmail, Facebook, or Apple ID — you must use that same method every time you log in. But there’s a catch most people overlook.

⚠️ WARNING: If your Google, Facebook, or Apple account gets hacked, the attacker could also access your Deriv account — no extra password needed.

This is why I personally prefer using email + password with 2FA enabled for extra control.

✅ How to do Derive Log in With Gmail (Google Sign-in)

1. Go to Deriv.com and click “Log in”
2. Click the Google icon under “Or login with”
3. A Google login window will open — enter your Gmail or phone number
4. Enter your Google password
5. Once verified, you’ll be redirected to your Deriv Dashboard

TIP: If your Gmail name doesn’t match your ID name, you may face problems during verification. It’s best to correct this early.

✅ How to do Deriv.com Log in With Facebook or Apple ID

1. On the Deriv.com login page, select the Facebook or Apple icon
2. Enter your login details for that service
3. Approve access when prompted
4. You’ll be taken straight to your Deriv account dashboard

⚠️ Facebook Tip: Only use Facebook if the name on your profile matches your official ID. Otherwise, you could run into verification issues later.

Security Tip: Once you’ve logged in, go to your settings and enable 2FA — this protects your account even if your social login gets compromised.

The steps above will help you get into your main Deriv account. The main Deriv account dashboard allows Once you’re logged in to your main Deriv account, you’ll be able to:

• Deposit and withdraw funds
• Trade using Binary Options, Accumulators, and Multipliers
• Open new trading accounts (like V75 or Boom & Crash) and move funds between them

Tip: You can switch between real and Deriv demo accounts from the same dashboard.

But if you want to trade on Deriv MT5, it’s a different login altogether.
You’ll need to copy your MT5 login ID, password, and server details from your dashboard and log in separately on the MT5 platform.

🔐 How To Do Deriv Log MT5 (DMT5)

This is where most traders slip up.

Your MT5 login is not the same as your Deriv.com email and password. It uses a completely separate set of credentials — and you need to create a dedicated MT5 account first.

🧭 Step 1: Choose the Right Deriv MT5 Account

Deriv offers six types of MT5 accounts — and each is designed for different traders:

• Standard Account → Trade both synthetic indices and forex in one place
• Financial STP → Direct market access for forex
• Financial → Focused on forex, commodities, crypto, and real-world instruments — no synthetics
• Swap-Free → For Islamic accounts
• Gold Account → Trade gold, silver, and platinum
• Zero Spread → For Scalpers or High Frequency Trading bots

Choosing the wrong one can limit what assets you see inside MT5.

✅ Step 2: Log in to MT5 App

Once your MT5 account is created, follow these steps:

1. Open the Deriv MT5 app
2. Tap Settings → Use Existing Account
3. Search for Deriv in the broker list
4. Select the correct server (e.g. Deriv-Server or DerivSVG-Server-02)
5. Enter your:
   • Login ID (numerical)
   • Password (set during account creation or reset later)
   • Server (must match exactly)

📩 These login details are also sent to your email when you open the account.

⚠️ Deriv Login Not Working?

The most common reason is wrong server selection. Even a small space or missing hyphen can cause login errors.

📲 Deriv Go Login (2025 Guide)

Deriv Go is the official mobile app built specifically for trading multipliers — ideal for traders who want quick exposure to forex, synthetic indices, and crypto without risking more than their stake.

I use it when I’m away from the charts and still want to catch short-term moves.

Here’s how to log in to Deriv Go and avoid the usual app errors:

✅ Steps for Deriv Go Login:

1. Download the Deriv Go app from Google Play or Apple Store

   → If you used Google, Facebook, or Apple to register, tap the matching icon

• Double-check your password and login method (email vs. Google/Facebook)
• If the problem persists, reset your password using the “Forgot Password” link

🧭 Logging Into Deriv X and cTrader

While Deriv Go is built for multiplier trading, Deriv X and Deriv cTrader offer more advanced setups — ideal for traders who want customizable layouts, deeper order types, or forex-style interfaces.

Both platforms use your main Deriv login credentials. Here’s how to access each one:

🔹 Deriv X Login

Deriv X is a browser and mobile trading platform with drag-and-drop widgets, split-screen multitasking, and built-in charting.

To log in:

3. Tap “Log In”
4. Use the same method you registered with — email/password, Google, Facebook, or Apple
5. You’ll land on the Deriv X dashboard where you can access your CFD account

🔹 Deriv cTrader Login

Deriv cTrader is designed for precision trading and scalping. It offers Level II pricing, detachable charts, and an interface many forex traders are familiar with.

To log in:

1. Download the Deriv cTrader app from your app store
2. Launch the app and tap “Log In”
3. Enter your Deriv login details — or sign in with your linked account method

📌 Note: You need to create a Deriv cTrader account first from the trader’s hub on Deriv before logging into the app.

🔁 How To Reset Your Deriv Account Password

Forgot your Deriv login password? No stress — here’s how to get back in within minutes:

How To Fix Common Deriv Login Problems

Problem	Fix
Forgot Password	Reset it at deriv.com/login → “Forgot Password”
Used Google to Sign Up	You must log in with Google — not email/password
Incorrect Password	Double-check spelling or reset it via the “Forgot Password” option
Verification Email Not Received	Check your spam/junk folder
Account Locked	Contact Deriv support for manual review
Website Not Loading	Check your internet connection, switch browsers, or clear cookies
MT5 Login Not Working	Use MT5 login ID + correct server — not your email address
App Says “Invalid Login”	Log in via browser first, then try again on the app
Account Suspended	Contact Deriv live chat for assistance

Want to lock down your account even further? Let’s set up two-factor authentication — your first and best defense.

🔐 How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on Deriv

If you’re serious about protecting your account, don’t skip this.

A friend of mine had his Deriv password leaked after his email got hacked — but because he had 2FA on, the attacker couldn’t get in. That’s what saved his funds.

With two-factor authentication, even if someone guesses or steals your password, they can’t log in without a unique code from your phone.

✅ Set Up 2FA on Deriv:

1. Log in to your Deriv account
2. Go to Account Settings → Security & Safety → Two-factor Authentication
   Or head straight to: app.deriv.com/account/two-factor-authentication
3. Choose your preferred app — I recommend Google Authenticator
4. Scan the QR code and follow the setup prompts
5. Done — next time you log in, you’ll need both your password and the 2FA code

📌 Tip: Don’t store your 2FA backup codes on the same device you trade with. Email them to yourself or keep a physical copy somewhere safe.

🛑 How to Protect Your Deriv Account from Phishing Emails

Phishing is one of the most common ways scammers try to steal your Deriv login — and they often make the emails look almost legit.

I get these types of emails every week. Some even include real-looking buttons, logos, and even fake account IDs.

Here’s an actual example of a phishing email I received recently:

At first glance, it looks fine. But look closer:

• The link in the button points to **deriv.app.link** — not deriv.com or deriv.app
• It claims a bonus deposit of $251.80, which is a classic hook to get you to click without thinking
• It uses urgency to get you to act fast and click “Go to my dashboard” — which actually leads you straight into the trap

🔎 Here’s how to spot fake Deriv emails:

• Suspicious domains like @deriv-login.net, @derlv-support.com, or anything that’s not @deriv.com
• Spelling or grammar issues
• Warnings like “your account will be suspended” or fake prize messages
• Unusual CR numbers or bonus offers that don’t match your actual activity

✅ What to do if you’re not sure

If you receive an email and something feels off:

• Don’t click anything
• Don’t enter your password
• Instead, go directly to www.deriv.com in your browser and use the live chat to verify with support

A few seconds of caution can save your entire account.

If you look closely on the link below the button it will take you to deriv.app.link/. This is a fake URL designed to trick you. The correct URL should’ve been deriv.app/.

So always be on the lookout and cross check the URLs.

Other ways you can identify phishing emails include:

• Spelling mistakes/grammar errors
• Emails requiring urgent login eg account suspended, you have won a prize etc
• Wrong cr number
• Email not from @deriv.com but from an address like @deriv-login.net or @derlv-support.com

If you see any suspicious email don’t click on any link. rather visit www.deriv.com and chat with customer support.

✅ Quick Recap About Deriv Login Before You Go:

There are 3 different login systems on Deriv — and mixing them up is the #1 reason traders get stuck:

• Main Deriv login → for Deriv.com dashboard and Trader’s Hub
• Deriv MT5 login → requires separate login ID and server
• App login → same as your main credentials, but must match your signup method

✅ Pro tip: Always log in from browser first before trying apps — it helps sync your account fully.
