I'm experiencing issues with my login or password

• Make sure you are using the email address associated with your Hootsuite account.
• Pay attention to capitalization when entering your password.
• Request a password reset to be delivered to the email address associated with your Hootsuite account here hootsuite.com/reset-password. Check your spam and junk mail folders if you can't find the reset password email.
• If you still aren't receiving emails from Hootsuite, you or your IT team may need to add Hootsuite email addresses to your safe senders list. For more information, see Troubleshoot Hootsuite email issues.
• If you are being asked to verify your account or enter a Google Authenticator code, see About login verification and Set up two-step verification for more details.

I want to use Single Sign-On

Enterprise plan account owners have the option of enabling Single Sign-On (SSO) so that team members can login to Hootsuite with their corporate credentials (for more information, see the Single sign-on set up guide). If this feature is enabled for your organization, you can log in using SSO.
