I can't sign in
Sign-in problems are usually one of a few things. This article walks through the most common causes and fixes.
Step 1: double-check your email
Is the email you’re typing the one you signed up with? If you signed up with a Google account, you’ll need to use Continue with Google rather than email and password.
Step 2: reset your password
The most common cause of a sign-in failure is a forgotten or mis-typed password. From the sign-in page:
- Click Forgot password
- Enter your email
- Open the reset email and click the link
- Set a new password
The reset link expires after a short time — if you don’t use it within an hour or so, generate a fresh one.
Step 3: try Google sign-in
If you previously signed up via email and password but you also have a Google account on the same email address, you can switch to Google sign-in:
- Click Continue with Google
- Pick your account
Google sign-in is the most reliable path — there’s nothing for you to remember.
Step 4: check email confirmation
If you signed up recently but never clicked the verification link, your account may be in a pending state. Try signing in:
- If it says “please verify your email”, check your inbox for the verification link
- Didn’t receive it? See I didn’t receive my verification email
Step 5: check that your account exists
If you’ve tried everything and still can’t get in, your account may be associated with a different email address than the one you’re using. Some teachers sign up with a personal email and forget; others sign up with school email.
- Try the alternate email
