How do I login? (Desktop/ laptop)

Below are some instructions to help log you into your account on fool.com with a desktop/ laptop device:

  1. Open a web browser (i.e., Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, etc.). In the web address bar (located near the top of your screen) type in: www.fool.com and press the ‘Enter’ key. This will redirect you to The Motley Fool homepage.
  2. Once your page loads, you will see a light gray bar running across the top of your screen. Look in the top right-hand corner of the screen. You will see a combination of either one of the following in white lettering: ‘Log Out' 'Help' and 'My Fool Membership' or 'Log In' 'Help' and 'Join The Motley Fool'
    • If you see ‘Log Out' 'Help' and 'My Fool Membership' you are already logged in, and may now access your premium services.
    • If you see ‘Welcome Back’ in white letters in the middle of the screen, you are already logged in and may now access your premium services.
  3. If you see  'Log In' 'Help' and 'Join The Motley Fool' you are not yet logged into your Motley Fool account. Click the ‘Log In’ button. This will redirect you to a page where you may then enter your ‘email/ username’ and ‘password’ associated with your Motley Fool account.
  4. If you find that the ‘Email/ Username’ and ‘Password’ fields are prefilled, your web browser may have saved your login information in the past:
    • The prefilled information may or may not be your correct ‘email/ username’ and ‘password' - to ensure that this information is correct, you may find it most reliable to delete the prefilled information and re-enter your ‘email/ username’ and ‘password' manually.
    • Depending on your browser, you may need to simply click the ‘Email/ Username’ or ‘Password’ field to erase the prefilled information, OR you will need to delete the information by clicking into the field and pressing the ‘backspace’ button until the field is left blank.
  5. In the ‘Email/ Username’ field, type the email address associated with your Motley Fool account. In the ‘Password’ section, type the password you have already created.
    • If your ‘Email/ Username’ or /‘Password’ are denied, this means that either that the information was entered incorrectly, or your password is not the password associated with your Motley Fool account.
  6. After successfully logging in, you will be redirected to The Motley Fool's homepage where you may then access your premium service(s) in full.
