‍

If you've followed the above steps and still can't log in, please fill out this form to assist the Squarespace support team in locating your account. Once your identity as the account owner is confirmed, an Advisor will help you resolve the issue.

Password is incorrect

This message indicates that the password you entered does not match Squarespace records. To resolve this, attempt to enter your password again, taking care to avoid any typographical errors. If you continue to face issues, consider resetting your password.

‍

Change login preference 

Each Squarespace account is set up with a single login method. You can log in using an email address and password, or via Apple, Facebook, or Google. You should log in using the same method you used when you signed up, unless you have since changed your login method.

Fixing password reset email issues

3. Handle Multiple Requests Carefully: Remember, if you've sent multiple requests for a password reset, only the link in the most recent email will be valid. To avoid confusion and ensure you use the right link, consider deleting all prior password reset emails before accessing the latest one.

‍

These steps should help you effectively manage any challenges with receiving or using password reset emails.

‍

Password-protect your Squarespace site content

Besides your account password, you have the option to create page-specific or site-wide passwords to secure your content with a lock screen. These passwords are independent of your Squarespace account password and are managed separately.

‍

How to log into your Squarespace 5 site

‍

Log into your Squarespace 5 site at your site's login URL, also called the direct URL: 

1. Go to https://accountname.squarespace.com/display/Login, replacing “accountname” with your site's account name. Ensure Login is capitalized.
2. Use your Squarespace 5 account name and password to log into your site.

For example, if your site's built-in domain is mycoolsite.squarespace.com, you'd go to https://mycoolsite.squarespace.com/display/Login and log in with mycoolsite and your password.

‍

What's my account name?

Your Squarespace 5 site includes a default domain that combines your account name with the Squarespace domain. For example, if your default domain is https://username.squarespace.com, then 'username' is your account name.

‍

Other options

We suggest logging in through your site's specific login URL, but there are a few additional methods you can use:

1. Customized Login Page: Set up a dedicated login page or navigation link on your site.
2. Esc Key Shortcut: When on any page of your site, pressing the Esc key can direct you to your login page if you've set one up. If no custom login page exists, it will redirect you to the standard login URL.

If you want to manage one or more Squarespace sites using either an email and password or a social account, consider upgrading to Squarespace 7. To explore the advantages of upgrading and for a comparison of Squarespace 5 with newer versions, Squarespace 5 vs. newer versions.
