Logging into Your Squarespace Account
TL;DR:
- Go to squarespace.com/login and enter your email and password
- Use the 'Forgot your password?' link if you need to reset it
- Enable two-factor authentication in your account settings for better security
- Make sure your browser is up to date to avoid login issues
Getting into your Squarespace account is pretty straightforward. Head to squarespace.com/login and enter the email address and password you used when you signed up.
Once you're logged in, you'll land on your dashboard where you can manage all your site settings, edit content, and check your analytics.
When You Can't Remember Your Password
It happens to everyone. If you're stuck at the login screen because you can't remember your password, click the 'Forgot your password?' link underneath the password field.
Enter your email address and Squarespace will send you a reset link. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for an email with instructions. Follow the link and create a new password.
The reset link expires after a while, so don't leave it sitting in your inbox for days.
Adding Two-Factor Authentication
Once you're logged in, it's worth setting up two-factor authentication. This adds an extra security step where you'll need your phone as well as your password to get into your account.
Go to Settings > Security in your dashboard and follow the setup process. You'll need an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy on your phone.
Browser Issues
If the login page isn't loading properly or you're getting error messages, try these fixes:
- Clear your browser cache and cookies
- Try a different browser or incognito mode
- Make sure your browser is updated to the latest version
- Disable browser extensions temporarily to see if one is causing problems
FAQs
Can I log in using my Google or Facebook account?
No, Squarespace doesn't offer social media login options. You need to use your email and password.
What if I have multiple Squarespace accounts?
You'll need to log out and back in with different credentials to switch between accounts. Each account needs its own email address.
Why does it keep saying my password is wrong?
Check you're using the right email address first. Password reset emails go to the exact email address on file. Also make sure Caps Lock isn't on.
Can I stay logged in permanently?
Squarespace will log you out after a period of inactivity for security reasons. You can't disable this feature.
Jargon Buster
Dashboard: Your main control panel where you manage everything about your Squarespace site, from design to content to settings.
Two-factor authentication: A security feature that requires both your password and a code from your phone to log in.
Cache: Temporary files your browser stores to make websites load faster. Sometimes these need clearing if a site isn't working properly.
Wrap-up
Squarespace keeps the login process simple so you can get to work on your site quickly. The password reset system works reliably, and two-factor authentication gives you solid security without much hassle.
Most login problems come down to browser issues or using the wrong email address, so start there if you're having trouble.
