NOTE: This article is intended for school owners and admin users. If you are a student looking for a login guide, check out the Student Guide: Logging In article.

Overview

Once you create a Teachable school, you will be prompted to confirm your account via an account confirmation email. After confirming your account, you will be able to log in directly to your school’s login page to access your school admin dashboard.

NOTE: All school owners have Teachable Accounts that are automatically created when you make your school. Teachable Accounts provide a centralized Teachable Account dashboard where you can access all your associated Teachable school accounts in one place, and allow you to login directly via the Log in button on Teachable’s homepage:The screen shows the homepage for www.teachable.com. The LOG IN button in the top right corner of the page is circled.
It’s important to note as a school owner, you can choose to enable or disable Teachable Accounts for students in your school—this will impact how your students can log in to your school. Learn more about Teachable Accounts and the student login experience.

How to log in

  1. Navigate to your school’s unique login page. You can access the login page by either:

    2. Navigating directly to your unique login URL. Your school’s login URL includes the domain of your school (e.g., yourschool.teachable.com) with /sign_in appended to the end.

If you experience issues logging in, refer to our troubleshooting section below.

Login attempts on new device(s)

Primary owners, owners, authors, affiliates, and custom user roles will receive an unrecognized device notification each time they login to their school on an unrecognized device. This notification can trigger when:

  • You log in on a new device for the first time
  • You use an incognito browser
  • You log in after clearing your browser cache

Students do not receive unrecognized device notifications.

Once triggered, you will receive a new device access email (titled “Login attempt on a new device”).

The email shows an email titled NEW DEVICE ACCESS. The content of the email contains a six-digit CONFIRMATION CODE, as well as some details on the login attempt - such as DATE, LOCATION, IP ADDRESS, and DEVICE.

To confirm your device:

  1. Copy the confirmation code from the email and paste it into the Confirmation code field on your login screen.
  2. Click Next to continue.

The screen shows a login portal window that states NEW DEVICE DETECTED. There is a field for CONFIRMATION CODE, with a button that says NEXT.

It’s important to note that the confirmation code is valid for one hour. If your code is expired, or if you never received the code in the first place, click the resend the confirmation code link on the screen to send a new email. Always use the most recent email received when confirming your new device.

If you don't recognize the login attempt or device, we strongly recommend resetting your password immediately.

Troubleshooting login issues

I’m trying to log in but it says my email address and/or password are incorrect.

If your password is invalid, or if you have forgotten your password, you can reset it any time. Learn more about how to reset your account password.

If your email address is invalid, there are a few potential scenarios:

- You may have misspelled your email address when you created your account—if so, contact Teachable Support by completing this form.

- If you previously edited your email address for your account, you may have only edited the Teachable Account email address (without editing the email address for the individual school account), or vice versa. If so, try logging in from both the direct Teachable Accounts dashboard and your individual school login page, as outlined below:
