Troubleshoot sign-in problems

Work out why you cannot get in, starting with the most common cause.

Updated 2026-10-11

Go through these in order. Most sign-in problems are solved by one of the first three.

  1. Check the email address. Use the work email you signed up with, and look for typos.
  2. Reset the password. Choose Forgot password on the sign-in page and use the newest email we send.
  3. Confirm your email. If you never opened the verification message, do it first. See verify your email address.
  4. Check your authenticator code. If you use two-factor authentication, enter the current 6-digit code and make sure your phone's clock is right.
  5. Start over. If you see a message that your session expired, sign in again from the beginning.
