ZT – Login, Passwords, 2FA Authentication
Traders,
We have introduced newer platforms since this post was published. Check out this user manual for Kite and Kite explainer videos here.
Once the installation of ZT is complete, you will require the login ID and password before starting to trade. You would have received your passwords in an email from [email protected]
Follow the process mentioned below to login to the trading platform.
Step 1: Login to your registered email ID and look for an email from [email protected] You will see an email which would look like what is shown below:
ZT Login Passwords
Step 2: As you will see the login ID at Zerodha is a six character alpha numeric ID, 2 alphabets followed by 4 numerals.
You will also see 2 passwords: a Login password required to login to the platform and a Transaction password required before placing a trade. Do note that the transaction password won’t be asked every time you trade, it will be asked only once when you login to the platform or whenever you logout and re-login.
Step 3: Double click on the Zerodha Trader icon on your desktop(you can also right click on the Ztrader icon and click on the option “run as administrator”), mention your login ID and click on Go. Now mention your password and click on “confirm scrips download’ and “launch plus” and then click on login. Look at the image below:
ZT Login
Step 4: As an authentication measure, you are now asked to choose a display image from a list of 5 images. This image will be displayed every time you login subsequent to this login. Choose any 1 image and click on save as shown below:
ZT Secure Access Image
Step 5: As part of a 2-factor authentication (2FA) mandated by SEBI, we need 2 extra levels of security other than just the login password. The display image mentioned above acts as the first authentication and for the second authentication, you are asked to answer 5 questions amongst a random bunch of questions. Every time you login after that, you will be asked to answer 2 of these 5 questions randomly, failing which you will not be able to login. Ensure that you are sure about the answers you mention and remember them, but if you want to keep it easy, you can answer all the 5 questions with just ‘ a’ or something similar. Check out the image below:
ZT 2 – Factor Authentication (2FA)
Step 6: Either the first time you login or every time you reset your password, when you are logging in you will get the following message next, Click on OK.
ZT Login Password
Step 7: You will see the following image after this. Mention your old login password that has been sent to you on the email (step1), Change the password, by mentioning the new login password twice. Once you change the login password, you will be prompted to change the transaction password. Follow steps 1 to 4.
ZT Login Password
Step 8: Once you change the password, you will see a progress bar which shows the download of scrip files. This might take upto 15 minutes the first time you are logging in and you will see the progress bar slowing down or stalling at 35% as almost 16000 different F&O contracts will be downloading at this time. Check the image below:
ZT Scrips Download
Step 9: Once the progress bar above reaches 100%, you will see the window as shown below. You will see a window asking if you are already registered on Nest Plus or not, and if not you will get an option to register. Your account with Zerodha will come to you pre-enabled on Nest Plus, but this might take upto 24 hours. If you don’t want to wait for that long, you can go ahead and register immediately, it will be an instant registration. Details of Nest plus will be mentioned in a future blog. Nest Plus is used for various advanced features as mentioned in this link.
Nest Plus
You are logged in and set to go now!
Happy Trading,

My Trading Account have been activated yesterday & I received passwords in my mail. Today when I tried to log in for first time in ZT or Web Platform it says USER IS BOLCKED. My Login ID is DS1975. I can login to the backoffice however…plzz help.
Resetting it now, but send these requests to [email protected] in the future.
Hi,
Zerodha can provide OTP (from mobile ) login as additional secured login.
Thanks
We’ve considered this in the past, but SMS delivery has always been patchy and this is not worth the trouble when OTP isn’t delivered.
If SMS is buggy then consider other Authentication methods like Google Authenticator. I don’t feel safe just by password and security questions. SMS/Authenticator don’t make mandatory but provide as extra option for those who feel the Need for more security.
Will consider this, but it’ll take some time.
Vinayaka correctly said. Even I feel insecure about this. In case OTP thing is an issue the better option is to enable email/SMS service whenever a new machine (either mobile/PC) is used to log in into the Zerodha account, the way Gmail send us an email when we login by a new device.
This notification when your account is logged in on a new device is in the works and should be live soon. In the meanwhile, you can set up TOTP on Kite as explained here.
Maine friday ko e-sign kiya aur mere email pe welcome onboard message aaya jisme client ID tha but 24hrs k baad v password nhi aaya

Sagar,
Can you send an email to [email protected] with your client id, someone will get back to you immediately.
Sir I received mail regarding verification when I will get the ID n password
Since these 3 are holidays, you might get it only by tuesday/wednesday.
my trading account has been activated yesterday. when i logged in to ZT, it is saying Nest plus is a plug in on ZT and takes 24 Hrs and to activate it immediately, click Yes.
what is the login for this.
how much time to take for loginfirst time
Varun,
The first time the platform downloads over 20,000 scrips and hence can take between 3 to 10 minutes based on your system and internet speed. It will be much faster from the second time onwards.
Cheers,
i tried to log in at trade.zerodha.com as I cannot install the software in my system
But its not logging in,The page simply stays there(login screen) after pressing the log in button
You are going to the webversion, check this section on everything to do with ZT our software version from installation to everything else.
I cannot install the software as I am using my official laptop. How to trade in web version?
Karthick, we have a HTML 5 version, check Z5
Thanks for your support.
It is working now, it may be due to server error in the morning.
how to change password in nest plus
Changing your password in Nest Plus is actually unnecessary because all Zerodha accounts are directly mapped to Nest Plus. You just need to select the “Launch Plus” button and login for seamless connectivity between ZT and Nest Plus.
If you really need to change your password on Nest Plus, do it from the website plus.omnesysindia.com
now i tried to open my trading account it shows user is blocked,why it is?
Best to send such queries to [email protected] with your client id, it must be blocked because of wrong password entry.
My Trading Account have been activated yesterday & I received passwords in my mail. Today when I tried to log in for first time in ZT or Web Platform it says USER IS BOLCKED. My Login ID is RP1370. I can login to the backoffice however…plzz help.

I’m new customer. Installed NEST Trader.But getting below message. NEST INSTALLATION FAILED FOR INTERACTIVE ENGINE : <>
this is ridiculous…I cant imagine, company like zerodha can provide their users trading platform like this. Very poorly designed and hopeless. Definitely engineers who created codes for this were poor quality and looted zerodha in software development.
My ID is blocked as wrong answers now I don’t know what to do.
POOR QUALITY SOFTWARE…
Pranav, you can use our new trading software Pi. Check this: https://zerodha.com/pi/. You can check this to know everything about Pi. You can send an email to [email protected] to reset your passwords/answers, you can also do this on your own by clicking on forgot password.
I am a new customer wanted to have zerodha pi but didn’t get any link to download. Also tried to login Q but it is asking for Customer Id where as I didn’t receive any customer id, only I have userid which is “DP2620”. Could you please help me to get pi install in my machine?
Pradeep user ID for Q is the same DP2620. You would have received a welcome letter with password to Q. If you don’t have it, use the forgot password on Q. Trading password and backoffice password is different.
which is better nest or pi.??
Definitely Pi.
Please send me a link for zerodha PI to download in my desktop.
Thanks

They have also received all the documents and verified and confirmed them on 12/04/2017. However since then I have yet not received the login credentials. I have repeatedly followed up with the sales manager as well as with the support team. However, no progress has been made. Kindly suggest a suitable method to resolve issue quickly.

Hi ,

Thanks,
Sowmya
How Sowmya, that’s it. Due to the long Diwali weekend, the generation of your login credentials might be delayed. You will receive an email when they are.
i am using zerodha pi but how to use zerodha kite can i use both the platform
Shankar, to use kite login to kite.zerodha.com however you cannot use Kite and Pi simultaneously.
I open account at zero dha on 23 october. Everything is okay . But i don’t receive my login credentials in my email. Please guide me what are the processes after register om zero dha?
My Login ID is YA4450. Didn’t get any welcome letter and passwords yet. Please help.
Antariksh, will have someone from our team get in touch with you.
my client id is YB7756
i have set up password on zerodha q
i want to login into zerodha kite,
1- do i have to use same id for zerodha q as well as zerodha kite?
2- i have tried like 10-15 times to login to zerodha kite using same zerodha q id and zerodha q password but have not succeeded.
3 – whenever i try to reset password for zerodha kite, the system either says invalid client id or user is blocked (so system never sent me any email to reset zerodha kite password but system sends emails when i try to reset password for zerodha q)
4- do i need pc to login into zerodha kite? i have never used pc (all those login attempts have been made on my phone)
The Kite and Q passwords aren’t the same. The system generated password for Kite is sent sometime AFTER the Q password is sent. Please check your email and use that password to log in. If you see a message saying your account is blocked, you’ll have to call customer support and get it unblocked. The ID remains the same for Kite and Q, but the passwords aren’t.
I have registered for a trading account yesterday. How long will it take to get trading ID and password. Is there any mobile app developed by Zerodha for on line trading in IOS.
Takes up to 4 working days.
My login id is YG0229
Whenever I get logged in to 2fa authentication it always says that the 2fa answers are incorrect even though I have entered it correctly.
After setting all the 2fa answers as a, the kite is easily logged in.
how do i reset my security question and answer
You can see a reset 2FA link that you can click on the 2FA page.
How do i change my security questions ?
On the 2FA screen, you’ll see a ‘Forgot answers’ link that you can use to change the security questions.

Hi,
I have a account with zerodha currently enabled for F&O and equities. I would like the same to be enabled for Commodity product as well, I read the entire zerodha procedure to enable it and did follow all the procedure like login account, password reset page and fill in the details requested like Pan number, account..etc.. But once filled and submitted I am getting a server 505 error.
I have been chasing the customer support for the past few days.. but no help from it.
Can you please help it
I am getting the error Request failed (kitetrade-xmlapi).
This is a serious issue and causing us a loss if we want to exit the trade.
Zerodha should ensure that such error are not caused every now and then.
Zerodha platform has become very slow and is sluggish to response.
Some times the system response is very good while most of the times it non responsive.
Vikram, when did you come across this issue while logging in?
Can you share the time/date and the device you are using so that we can have it checked?
