Common Login Issues

Forgot your password

On the sign-in page, click Forgot password? and enter your email. Anthropic will send a reset link. If you signed up with Google, you don’t have a separate Claude password — just use the Google option.

Not receiving the verification email

Check your spam folder. The email comes from an @anthropic.com address. If it’s not there after a few minutes, try signing in again to trigger a new send.

“Account not found” error

You may have signed up with a different email or via Google. Try the Google sign-in option even if you think you used email — it’s the most common source of this confusion.

Claude.ai is down or slow

Check status.anthropic.com for current system status. Anthropic publishes live uptime and incident reports there.

Creating a New Claude Account

Go to claude.ai/signup. You can sign up with Google or with an email address. Phone verification may be required depending on your region. The free tier is available immediately after signup — no payment info required. For plan details, see the complete Claude pricing guide.
