I. Go to the Squarespace Login Page
The first step is to go to the Squarespace login page at www.squarespace.com/login.
You’ll see several options for signing in:
Email Address and Password
Use this option if you signed up to Squarespace using your email address and password.
Enter your email and password, then select the Log In button.
Continue with Google
Select this option if you signed up to Squarespace using Google as your login provider.
You will be prompted to sign in to your Google account, and once signed in, you will be redirected to Squarespace.
Continue with Apple
Select this option if you signed up to Squarespace using Apple.
You will be prompted to sign in to your Apple account. When you’ve signed in, you will be redirected to Squarespace.
Continue with Facebook
Select this option if you signed up to Squarespace with Facebook.
You will be prompted to sign in to your Facebook account. Once signed in, you will be redirected to Squarespace.
II. 2-FA (If Set Up)
Two-factor authentication is a security measure that helps prevent unauthorized access to your Squarespace account.
If you’ve enabled 2-FA, you will need to authorize your access before you can log in to Squarespace. There are a few ways of doing this, depending on the 2-FA method you chose. Squarespace offers passkeys, authentication apps, and text messages.
Passkey
With a passkey you can verify your 2-FA through your device using Face ID, Touch ID, or a device PIN.
If you’ve set up a passkey, you’ll be prompted to use your passkey when you log in.
Authentication App
Authentication apps generate authentication codes that you then use to log in.
Use the authentication app on your phone to generate a code and input it to Squarespace when prompted.
Text Message
If you’re using text messages for authentication, Squarespace will send a six-digit code to the phone number added to your account.
Enter the code into Squarespace when prompted. Text message codes expire after five minutes, so if it expires (or you don’t receive a code), select the Resend Code button.
You’ll now be logged in to Squarespace.
III. Select Your Site
After you log in to Squarespace, you’ll see your Squarespace account dashboard, where you’ll find a list of the Squarespace sites, domains, and subscriptions connected to your account.
Click the site you want to open, and you’ll be taken to the Squarespace Editor where you can edit your site content.
Troubleshooting Login Issues
If you’re having trouble logging in, here are a few steps you can take:
Check Your 2-FA
If you have 2-FA set up, double-check that you’re using the right phone number or authentication app.
If you lose access to your authentication method, you can use your backup authentication codes for Squarespace to access your account by:
1. Go to the Squarespace login page.
2. Enter your email and password.
3. Click the Log in button.
4. Select Use a Different Method.
5. Enter an unused backup code and login.
Lastly, remember to update your 2-FA methods so you can login next time.
Check Your Email Address
Make sure you sign in with the email address you used to create your Squarespace account. If you can’t remember which email address you used, try searching your email accounts for emails from Squarespace sent during sign up.
Reset Your Password
If your password isn’t working or you can’t remember it, click the Can’t log in? button on the Squarespace login page. Squarespace will send a reset password email to the email you enter.
If you can’t see it, remember to check your spam/junk folders, and double-check that you’ve added the correct email.
Clear Cache and Cookies
Cache and cookies can prevent you from logging in, so you try clearing them. You can find the steps for clearing your cache from Chrome, Safari, and other browsers. You can also try logging into Squarespace in a private or incognito browser.
Contact Squarespace Support
If you’ve tried these steps and still can’t log in, contact Squarespace customer support. They offer 24/7 email support and live chat on weekdays, so they’ll be able to offer suggestions for your next steps.
