By default, Zulip allows you to log with an email/password pair, a Google account, or
|
|
|
|
a GitHub account.

Organization administrators can
|
|
|
|
[add other authentication methods](configure-authentication-methods),
|
|
|
|
including SSO or LDAP integration, or disable any of the methods above.

You can log in with any method allowed by your organization, regardless of
|
|
|
|
how you signed up. E.g. if you originally signed up using your Google
|
|
|
|
account, you can later log in using GitHub, as long as your Google account
|
|
|
|
and GitHub account use the same email address.

Some ideas:

|
|
|
2018-05-14 23:42:37 +02:00
|
|
|
* If you know your organization is hosted on
|
|
|
|
[zulipchat.com](https://zulipchat.com), go to
|
|
|
|
[find my account](https://zulipchat.com/accounts/find/) and enter the email
|
|
|
|
address that you signed up with.

|
|
|
|
2018-05-14 23:42:37 +02:00
|
|
|
* Try guessing the URL. Zulip URLs often look like `<name>.zulipchat.com`,
|
|
|
|
`zulip.<name>.com`, or `chat.<name>.com` (replace `<name>` with the name of your
|
|
|
|
organization).

|
|
|
* Ask your organization administrators for your Zulip URL.

### I signed up with Google/GitHub auth and never set a password
|
2016-12-21 23:46:16 +01:00
|
|

|
2018-05-14 23:42:37 +02:00
|
|
|
If you signed up using passwordless authentication and want to start logging
|
|
|
|
in via email/password, you can
|
|
|
|
[reset your password](/help/change-your-password).
|
2016-12-21 23:46:16 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2018-05-14 23:42:37 +02:00
|
|
|
### I forgot my password
|
2016-12-21 23:46:16 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2018-05-14 23:42:37 +02:00
|
|
|
You can [reset your password](/help/change-your-password). This requires
|
|
|
|
access to the email address you currently have on file. We recommend
|
|
|
|
[keeping your email address up to date](change-your-email-address).
