Login and email-verification problems

Fixes for common sign-in problems: verification emails, sign-in codes, passwords, passkeys, and invitations.

Having trouble signing in or verifying your email? These are the most common causes and fixes.

Verification email not arriving

  • Check your spam or junk folder.

  • Confirm you signed up with the correct email address.

  • Wait a few minutes, then request a new verification email.

Your sign-in code didn't arrive

When you sign in from a browser you haven't trusted, we email you a six-digit sign-in code. If it doesn't come through:

  • Check your spam or junk folder, and wait a minute or two.

  • Choose Send a new code to have a fresh one emailed.

  • Make sure you're checking the inbox for the email address on your account.

The code expired or sign-in took too long

A sign-in code is valid for 10 minutes, and a sign-in has to be finished within that window. If it lapses, choose Send a new code, or enter your password again to start over.

"Temporarily locked"

After several incorrect codes, sign-in locks for about 15 minutes as a safety measure. Nobody has gained access to your account, and there's nothing you need to do — just wait and try again a little later.

Signing in with a passkey didn't work

If a passkey won't sign you in, you can always fall back to your email and password (we'll then email you a sign-in code). You can review or remove passkeys, and add new ones, from your Profile settings — see Two-step sign-in, passkeys and trusted browsers.

Can't sign in with your password

  • Double-check your email and password (watch for caps lock).

  • If you've forgotten your password, reset it — see Resetting your password.

  • Make sure your email is verified; you must confirm it before signing in.

Invitation issues

If you're joining a firm and the invitation won't accept, make sure you're signed in with the same email address the invite was sent to. An invitation sent to a different address can't be accepted while signed in as someone else — sign out and use the invited email. Invitations can also expire, in which case ask for a fresh one.

Still stuck?

Contact support with the email address you're using and a description of what you see, and we'll help you get in.
