Sign in to ClickUp with Google

You can quickly sign in to ClickUp with your Google account to simplify access, reduce password management, and improve security for your workspace.

This guide explains how Google sign-in works, how to enable or disable it, and what to do if you run into problems.

What is Google sign-in for ClickUp?

Google sign-in lets you access your ClickUp workspace using your Google credentials instead of a separate email and password. This creates a smoother login flow, especially if your team already uses Google Workspace.

When you use this option, ClickUp relies on Google to authenticate you. If the Google account email matches a ClickUp account, you can log in without typing a ClickUp-specific password.

Requirements to use Google sign-in

Before you use Google to sign in, make sure the following conditions are met:

• You have an existing Google account.
• Your Google email address matches the email you use for your ClickUp account, unless you are creating a new account.
• Your admin or organization security policies allow third-party OAuth connections, if applicable.

No additional configuration is needed inside ClickUp if you are simply using the standard Google sign-in button on the login page.

How to sign in to ClickUp with Google

Follow these steps to log in using your Google account:

1. Open the official sign-in page for ClickUp in your browser.
2. On the login screen, locate and select the option labeled Continue with Google or similar Google sign-in button.
3. If prompted, choose the Google account you want to use, or enter your Google email and password.
4. Review the permissions screen, then confirm to grant access so ClickUp can use your Google identity for authentication.
5. After Google verifies your credentials, you are redirected back to your ClickUp workspace.

If you already had a ClickUp account associated with that email, you are logged in immediately. If not, you may be guided through a short account creation flow using your Google details.

First-time login to ClickUp with Google

The first time you press the Google sign-in button, ClickUp may ask you for a few extra details:

• Basic profile information, such as your name and profile picture.
• Workspace preferences, like creating or joining an existing workspace.
• Notification configuration, depending on your setup.

Once these steps are complete, you can use Google sign-in as your primary method to access ClickUp going forward.

Switching from password login to Google in ClickUp

If you initially created a password-based account and want to start using Google sign-in, you can do so by linking the same email address.

Link an existing ClickUp account to Google

To start logging in with Google when you already have an account:

1. Log in to ClickUp using your current email and password.
2. Go to your account or profile settings from the main navigation.
3. Look for a section related to login methods or connected accounts.
4. Choose the option to connect or enable Google sign-in.
5. When redirected, select your Google account and approve the requested access.

After linking, you can use the Google button on the sign-in page instead of entering your password, as long as both accounts share the same email address.

Managing Google sign-in settings in ClickUp

Depending on your role and workspace configuration, there may be controls that affect how people sign in with Google.

Personal login preferences

As an individual user, you can typically choose to:

• Use only Google sign-in.
• Use both Google sign-in and a password.
• Revoke Google access and rely on a password if allowed by workspace security rules.

To change personal login preferences, open your profile or security settings in ClickUp and review any available authentication options.

Workspace or organization controls

Workspace owners or admins may have more advanced controls, especially in larger organizations. Depending on your plan and admin center options, they might be able to:

• Require specific authentication methods for members.
• Limit access to certain email domains managed through Google Workspace.
• Combine Google sign-in with other security policies such as SSO or two-factor authentication.

For detailed and official configuration information, review the documentation at Sign in with Google for ClickUp.

Security considerations when using Google with ClickUp

When you rely on Google authentication, your security depends on both your Google account and your ClickUp configuration. Keep these best practices in mind:

• Enable two-factor authentication on your Google account.
• Use strong, unique passwords if you also maintain a standard ClickUp password.
• Regularly review devices and sessions connected to your Google account.
• Follow your organization’s security guidelines for third-party services.

Because Google handles the primary login step, losing access to your Google account can affect your ability to sign in to ClickUp. Make sure your recovery information is up to date within Google.

Troubleshooting Google sign-in issues in ClickUp

If you have trouble logging in, use the steps below to narrow down and resolve the problem.

Google account does not match ClickUp email

If you see an error indicating no matching account:

• Confirm that the Google email you are using is the same one registered in ClickUp.
• If your workspace uses a different email, log in with your existing method, then link the correct Google account in your settings.
• Ask a workspace admin to verify your user email if you are part of a managed organization.

Authorization or permission errors

In some cases, your organization’s policies may block the connection.

• Check with your IT team or Google Workspace admin to confirm whether third-party OAuth connections like ClickUp are allowed.
• Try logging in from an approved device or network if your company uses access restrictions.
• Revoke existing app access in your Google account, then attempt to connect again to refresh permissions.

General login failures

If the login page keeps reloading or shows a generic error:

• Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again.
• Use an incognito or private window to rule out extension conflicts.
• Attempt to log in from a different browser or device.
• Verify that you can sign in to your Google account directly, outside of ClickUp.

If the problem persists, contact workspace support or use the official support resources referenced in the main product help center.

Best practices for teams using ClickUp and Google

For teams that rely heavily on Google Workspace, aligning login methods can streamline onboarding and daily work.

• Standardize sign-in instructions for new team members so they know to choose the Google option for ClickUp.
• Document who is responsible for managing account access if employees leave the organization.
• Encourage use of secure Google accounts, including two-factor authentication and regular security reviews.
• Provide internal training on how to switch between workspaces and accounts in ClickUp when people belong to multiple teams.
