Click “Forgot password?” on the login page and follow the steps to reset it, or contact your Workspace administrator.

If you’re not an admin, logging into admin.google.com may redirect you to your Gmail or Workspace homepage automatically.

Desktop Login Steps

Open your browser and navigate to accounts.google.com or directly to the Google app you want to use (Gmail, Drive, Calendar). Enter your full Workspace email address — this is your company email, not a personal Gmail address. Enter your password. If your organization requires 2-Step Verification, complete the verification step using your configured method (authenticator app, security key, or SMS code).

If you are already signed into a personal Google account, click your profile icon in the top-right corner, select “Add another account,” and sign in with your Workspace credentials.

Mobile Login

Setting up Google Workspace on your phone or tablet involves adding your Workspace account to the Gmail app or your device’s account settings. The process differs slightly between Android and iOS. For complete step-by-step instructions, see our Google Workspace mobile login guide.

Admin Console Access

The Admin console at admin.google.com is restricted to accounts with an assigned admin role. If you need to manage users, configure security settings, or handle domain verification, you must sign in with an admin account. For a complete walkthrough of admin access, including SSO bypass and common admin sign-in problems, see our Admin console guide.

Security and Account Protection

Google Workspace accounts are protected by the security policies your organization’s administrator configures. At a minimum, most organizations should enforce 2-Step Verification for all users. For a complete overview of Workspace security settings and admin best practices, see our Google Workspace security guide.
