How to Log Into Squarespace
Step 1: Go to the Squarespace Login Page
Open your browser and navigate to squarespace.com/login. This is the official Squarespace login page where all account authentication starts. Do not use third-party links or search results that might redirect you to phishing pages - always type the URL directly or bookmark it.
Step 2: Choose Your Login Method
Squarespace offers three login options: email and password, Google sign-in, and Apple sign-in. Choose the method you used when you originally created your account. If you signed up with Google, clicking the email and password option will not work - you need to click "Log in with Google" instead. This is the most common source of login confusion.
Step 3: Enter Your Credentials
If using email and password, enter the email address associated with your Squarespace account and your password. If using Google or Apple, click the corresponding button and follow the authentication prompts from Google or Apple. Once authenticated, you will be redirected to your Squarespace dashboard where you can access all your sites.
Step 4: Select Your Site
If you manage multiple Squarespace sites under one account, you will see a list of all your sites on the dashboard. Click on the site you want to edit. If you only have one site, Squarespace may take you directly to the site editor.
How to Reset Your Squarespace Password
If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page. Enter the email address associated with your account and Squarespace will send a password reset link. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for the email, click the reset link, and create a new password. The reset link expires after a set period, so use it promptly.
If you never receive the reset email, confirm that you are entering the correct email address. You may have signed up with a different email or used Google or Apple sign-in instead of an email and password combination. Try logging in with Google or Apple to see if that works.
Squarespace Login Methods Explained
Email and Password Login
This is the traditional login method. You created an account with an email address and a password. To log in, enter both on the login page. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you will also need to enter a verification code from your authenticator app after entering your password.
Google Sign-In
If you signed up for Squarespace using your Google account, click "Log in with Google" on the login page. Squarespace will redirect you to Google's authentication page where you select your Google account and confirm access. You do not need a separate Squarespace password when using this method.
Apple Sign-In
Apple sign-in works similarly to Google. Click "Log in with Apple" and authenticate through Apple's system. If you chose to hide your email when signing up with Apple, Squarespace uses a private relay email - you do not need to know this relay address to log in, but it can complicate account recovery if you lose access to your Apple ID.
How to Log Into Squarespace on Mobile
Squarespace has a mobile app available for iOS and Android that lets you manage your site from your phone. Download the Squarespace app from the App Store or Google Play, open it, and log in using the same credentials you use on the desktop site. The app supports email, Google, and Apple sign-in methods.
You can also log in through your mobile browser by navigating to squarespace.com/login. The mobile browser experience is fully functional but the dedicated app provides a better interface for on-the-go editing, analytics checking, and order management.
Troubleshooting Squarespace Login Problems
Wrong Password or Email
Double-check that you are using the correct email. If you have multiple email addresses, try each one. If none work with the email and password method, try Google and Apple sign-in - you may have created your account using one of those methods without realizing it.
Two-Factor Authentication Issues
If you enabled two-factor authentication and lost access to your authenticator app, you will need to use a recovery code. Squarespace provides recovery codes when you first set up two-factor authentication - if you saved them, enter one to regain access. If you did not save your recovery codes, contact Squarespace support with your account details to request manual verification.
Account Locked After Too Many Failed Attempts
Squarespace may temporarily lock your account after multiple failed login attempts as a security measure. Wait 15 to 30 minutes before trying again. If the lockout persists, reset your password using the "Forgot Password" link and try logging in with the new password.
Browser or Cache Issues
If the login page does not load properly or you get stuck in a redirect loop, clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. You can also try a different browser or an incognito window. Browser extensions - particularly ad blockers and privacy tools - can sometimes interfere with the login process.

Squarespace Login Security Best Practices
Enable two-factor authentication. Go to Account Settings > Security and enable 2FA using an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy. This adds a second layer of protection that prevents unauthorized access even if someone obtains your password.
Use a strong, unique password. Your Squarespace password should be at least 12 characters and not reused from other accounts. A password manager makes this easy - it generates and stores strong passwords so you never need to remember them.
Save your recovery codes. When you enable two-factor authentication, Squarespace provides a set of one-time recovery codes. Save these in a secure location (password manager or printed copy in a safe place). They are your only backup if you lose access to your authenticator app.
Review connected accounts regularly. If you use Google or Apple sign-in, periodically check the connected apps list in your Google or Apple account settings to ensure your Squarespace connection is still active. Revoking access accidentally will prevent you from logging in.
