Logging in with a different method

  • If you originally signed up using an email and password, you can later log in using a social login method (Google, Microsoft, or Apple) as long as the email address matches.

  • Your account will automatically combine both login methods, allowing you to log in using either your original email/password or your new social login.

When you can't change your login method

  • If you initially signed up using SSO or a social login method (such as Google, Microsoft, or Apple), you cannot switch to using an email and password later.

  • Trying to reset your password for these accounts will not work, and no reset emails will be sent.

  • Please continue to use the SSO or social login you originally chose to access your account.

Managing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

  • MFA is tied to the login method you used when setting it up.

  • To switch your login method after enabling MFA:

    1. Disable MFA first.

    2. Log out, then log back in using the new sign-in method.

    3. Re-enable MFA with your new login method.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: Once MFA is turned on, you must continue using your current login method until MFA is disabled.

Deleting your account

  • Deleting your account does not let you change your login method.

  • If you want to use a new login method, you'll need to create a new account after your old one has been deleted

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting your account does NOT allow you to change your authentication method.
