Use a different login option to access your site.

There are two ways you can log into your Squarespace account:

1. Enter an email address and password.
2. Use a social account login such as Apple, Facebook, or Google.

This guide covers how to switch between these login methods, and between different social account logins. To avoid confusion, you should change how you log into Squarespace only when necessary.

To update the email address you use to log in, visit Changing your account email address.

Tip: If you're on an Enterprise plan, you can also log in with Okta.

Switch from email login to social login

To switch from email and password login to social login:

1. On the login page, click the social account you want to log in with.
2. Enter your credentials for the account. If you're switching to an Apple login, select Share my email.
3. You’ll see a message that says Change Login Preference (You usually log in using your email address and password...)
4. Click Use [account].
5. You’ll receive a verification email. Click the link in the email.

Error message: Account doesn't exist

This error generally occurs if you try to switch your login method to a social account under an email that isn’t associated with a Squarespace account. However, if you see this when switching to an Apple login, follow these steps to resolve:

• If you select Hide my email in your Apple ID account settings, then Apple can't share the email address for your Apple ID. As a result, we can't verify if the email addresses match. To resolve this, try the steps above again, ensuring you select Share my email in the Apple settings. To learn more, visit Apple's documentation.
• If you click Create on the error message and select Hide my email, a new Squarespace account is created with an anonymous email generated by Apple. As a result, you can't switch from your existing Squarespace account to an Apple login. To resolve this, visit Apple's documentation and follow their steps to stop using your Apple ID with Squarespace. Then, follow the steps above again, ensuring you select Share my email in Apple's settings.

Switch to a social login with a different email address

2. Update your account email to the email address matching the social account you want to switch to.
3. Switch from an email login to the social login you want.
