Enroll and access your retirement account using the mobile app

Gusto 401(k) participants can use this article to learn about the Gusto mobile app's key features, troubleshoot common issues, and find out how to get help from our support team.

What you can do with the app

The Gusto mobile app makes it easy to manage your retirement savings on the go. With the app, you can:

  • Check your progress — view your portfolios, performance, and retirement savings to date

  • Update contributions — change your contribution amounts or switch investment portfolios with a few taps

Where to download the mobile app

The app is available on the App Store and Google Play Store. It’s designed to provide a mobile experience for your Gusto experience – including your Gusto 401(k)!

Keep your account secure

At Gusto, account security is one of our top priorities. The app makes it easy to enable protective features, such as biometric authentication and 2FA, to securely access your account on your mobile device.

How do I find my 401(k) account in the app?

Once you open the app, click the More icon in the bottom navigation. Select Benefits, then Retirement.

From here, you’ll be able to view and manage your Gusto 401(k) account.

Do I need the app?

While the mobile app makes it easy to access your 401(k) dashboard on the go, everything available in the app is also available in the web or desktop version of your Gusto Retirement account. You can continue to manage and monitor your account even if you choose not to download the app.

Troubleshoot sign-in issues

There are a few reasons you may not be able to sign in to the app.

You have not claimed or opened your account

  • To set up a Gusto 401(k), you need to access the welcome email to claim your account. The account setup process cannot be completed in the app at this time, and must be completed via the enrollment link in that email.

Your password or 2FA is not working

  • If you are having issues with your password, select Forgot password? on the sign-in page of the mobile app. You can also reset your password on the desktop version.

  • If you are having trouble with 2FA, check out our troubleshooting tips.

Your app is out of date

  • As we release new features and updates, new versions of the mobile app become available. If you cannot access the current app, visit the App Store or Google Play Store to confirm it is up to date. If not, try downloading the newest version and signing in again.

There is an error

  • If you have tried the steps above and still cannot access your account through the app, contact Retirement Support. To speed up the resolution process, include the information listed in the "Report a bug or issue" section below

Report a bug or issue

If you think you may be experiencing an error or bug in the Gusto mobile app, check the troubleshooting steps above first. If you are still having trouble, you can report the issue to our Retirement Support team.

To help us investigate, provide the following details when you contact support:

  • Your Gusto Retirement account ID — in the mobile app, select the More icon, then Benefits > Retirement. From here, scroll to the bottom of the page and select Account Details. On the web or desktop version, learn how to find your account ID here.

  • A description of the issue — explain what is happening and where in the app the issue is located.

  • Screenshots or screen recordings — if possible, include visuals that show the issue.

  • Your phone's make and model — the type of phone you have (for example, iPhone 14 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy A32, Google Pixel 4 XL).

  • Your phone's operating system and version — for example, iOS 26.4 or Android 16. Here is how to find this info on your iPhone or Android.

  • Your app version — by providing the version number (for example, Version 1.0.1), we can better pinpoint certain issues.

    • How to find your app version

  • iPhone — go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. A list of your apps will appear. Select the Gusto Retirement app from the list. The version number is listed under the app title.

  • Android — go to Settings, then Apps and notifications or Apps, then See all apps (if needed). Find and select the Gusto Retirement app in the list.
