Locked Out of ClickUp Access
If you find yourself locked out of ClickUp, there are specific steps you can follow to sign back in, reset your password, and regain access to your workspace while keeping your account secure.
Common Reasons You Are Locked Out of ClickUp
Several issues can lead to being locked out of your account. Understanding these helps you choose the fastest solution.
- Incorrect email or password used during sign-in
- Forgotten password or lost login details
- Account disabled or removed from a workspace
- Login method changed, such as switching from email to SSO
- Browser or device problems preventing successful login
Before you start recovery steps, make sure you are using the correct email address associated with your profile.
How to Recover Your ClickUp Password
If you remember your email but not your password, resetting it is usually the quickest way to restore access.
Step-by-step ClickUp password reset
- Go to the ClickUp login page in your browser.
- Select the option to reset or forgot your password.
- Enter the email address you use for your ClickUp account.
- Check your inbox for the password reset email.
- Click the reset link and follow the instructions to create a new password.
- Return to the login page and sign in with your updated password.
If the reset email does not arrive, double-check your spam or junk folders, and make sure you did not mistype your email address.
Tips to avoid another ClickUp lockout
- Store your new password in a secure password manager.
- Use a strong, unique password that you can remember.
- Update saved passwords in your browser or apps after a change.
Addressing ClickUp Login and Device Issues
Sometimes you are locked out of ClickUp because of a browser, app, or device problem rather than your account details.
Troubleshooting ClickUp sign-in problems
- Clear your browser cache and cookies.
- Try a different browser or an incognito or private window.
- Disable browser extensions temporarily, especially those related to privacy or ad blocking.
- Ensure your browser is up to date.
- Test login from another device to see if the issue is device-specific.
If you normally use the mobile app, try signing in from a desktop browser to confirm that your account is still active and your credentials are correct.
Single sign-on and ClickUp access
If your organization uses single sign-on (SSO) or a similar system, a problem with that identity provider can also cause a lockout. In that case:
- Confirm with your IT team that your company SSO is functioning.
- Verify that your company login has not been disabled or changed.
- Ask whether any new security policies affect your ClickUp access.
Workspace Access and ClickUp Permissions
Being locked out of ClickUp can also mean you no longer have permission to access a specific workspace, even if your profile still exists.
Check if your ClickUp account is deactivated
If you cannot access any spaces or projects that you previously used, your account may have been removed from the workspace or deactivated.
- Contact your workspace owner or admin using another channel, such as email or chat.
- Ask them to confirm whether your profile is still active in the workspace.
- Request that they re-invite you if your access was removed.
Only a workspace owner or admin can restore your membership if you were intentionally removed or if your role changed.
Resolving ClickUp role and permission issues
Even if you can log in, you might appear locked out of ClickUp features because of changed permissions.
- Verify your current role in the workspace with an admin.
- Confirm whether any new restrictions were added to spaces, folders, or lists.
- Ask for an appropriate role if your work requires more access.
When to Contact ClickUp Support
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve your lockout, reaching out to support may be necessary.
Information to include for ClickUp support
Prepare details before you open a support request to speed up the process:
- The email address tied to your account
- Device and browser or app you are using
- Any error messages shown during login
- Steps you already tried, such as password reset or using another browser
With this information, the support team can more quickly determine why you are locked out and guide you to the correct fix.
