Troubleshoot issues with signing in
If you’re unable to sign in to Slack, read on to learn how to troubleshoot some of the most common issues.
You forgot your password
Use our password-free sign in to request a code that allows you to sign in to any workspaces associated with your email address. Once you're signed back in, you can set a new password for your account.
You're not receiving emails
- Check that you created your Slack account with the correct email. If you have different personal and work email addresses, visit https://slack.com/signin and enter your email address to make sure that you’re using the right one.
- Check your spam folder and talk to your IT team. If emails from Slack aren’t getting delivered to your inbox or spam folder, or links in our emails are expiring, ask your IT team to allow emails from @slack.com and @slack-mail.com.
You didn't receive a 2FA code
Review the troubleshooting steps in Set up two-factor authentication (2FA). You may need to ask a Workspace owner or admin to temporarily disable 2FA for your account so that you can sign in.
You sign in with Apple and need to update your email
If you created a Slack account using a hidden Apple relay address and want to use a different email address for your account, you have two options:
- Update your email from your account settings page. To do this, you'll first need to request a password reset email. Once you've set a password for your account, enter it on your account settings page to add a different email to your account.
- Revoke Apple's access to Slack and create a new account. If you want to continue signing in to Slack with Apple, you'll need to revoke Apple's access to Slack and create a new account using a visible email address associated with your Apple ID.
