Password settings

There's a few different options for signing into your Notion account. You can use a permanent password, or remove your password to use a temporary passcode sent to your inbox for each login, and there's Continue with Google and Continue With Apple as well.

Regardless of how you log into Notion, we'll keep you logged in for 90 days per device before you're asked to login again.

👉

Important Note: Never share your password with anyone, even Notion support! If someone's claiming to be Notion support and asking for your password, it's not us. All passwords are encrypted on our servers, so we don't have access to any password data.

Set a permanent password

Click Settings & Members at the top of the left sidebar, and then My Account.

If you're on mobile, tap Notifications & Settings in your sidebar.

Click the Set a Password button.

Enter a password that meets the security requirements, and repeat to confirm.

Change password

You can change an existing password by clicking the Change Password button:

Remove password (Use temporary passcodes sent to your email)

If you'd rather not associate a password with your account, you can remove it.

If you don't have a permanent password associated with your account, we'll send a temporary passcode to your inbox for each login.

To do this, click Remove Password.

👉

Note: The temporary passcodes sent to your email inbox expire after 30 minutes.

Reset password

If you forgot your password, navigate to notion.so/login in your web browser.

Click the Continue with email button.

Enter the email address associated with your Notion account.

Click the Forgot password? button, and then the Send Reset Link button.

We'll send a link to your email address. When you click that link, you'll be taken to Settings & Members in your Notion workspace, where you'll have the option to set a new password.

If you do not set a new password at this point, you'll return to logging in via temporary password for each new login.

Continue with Google

You can use Continue with Google for a faster login as long as your Notion account email is the same as your Google email.

For example, if your Google email is adalovelace@gmail.com, you can use Continue with Google to login as long as that's the email you see in the My account section of Settings & Members in Notion. More on changing your email →

When you choose Continue with Google to login, you'll be asked for your Google password in a pop-up window, not your Notion password.

If you have 2-Step Verification enabled for your Google account, you'll need to authenticate with a second device.

Continue with Apple

You can use Continue with Apple for a faster login as long as your Notion account email is the same as your Apple ID.

For example, if your Apple ID is adalovelace@icloud.com, you can use Continue with Apple to login as long as that's the email you see in the My account section of Settings & Members in Notion. More on changing your email →

When you use Continue with Apple for the first time, you'll see two options:

Share My Email: Choose this option if you want to link Continue with Apple with an existing Notion account. If you're creating a new Notion account, we'll use the email associated with your Apple ID as your Notion account email.

Hide My Email: Choose this option if you want to hide your email from Notion. A brand new account will be created with a unique email such as dpdcnf87nu@privaterelay.appleid.com, which will only work with Notion.

You won't be able to link Continue with Apple with an existing Notion account if you choose Hide My Email.
You'll still receive Notion emails forwarded to the email associated with your Apple ID.

To stop using Continue with Apple with Notion, or to change your Share My Email / Hide My Email preference, go to the Apple ID section of your device settings, then Password & Security. Apple Support guide here →

When you choose Continue with Apple to login, you'll be asked for your Apple ID password in a pop-up window, not your Notion password.

If you have two-factor authentication enabled for your Apple ID, you'll need to authenticate with a second device.

🎒

Tip: Continue with Apple allows you to use Face ID or Touch ID to log in to Notion!

Start your calendar week on Monday

Calendars in Notion will use Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week, depending on your region. That includes the date picker for reminders and calendar databases. If you prefer, you can change this manually.

Within Calendar Settings, toggle on Start Week on Monday.

Click Update at the bottom to save the change.

FAQs

How can I link my existing Notion account with Continue with Apple?

I tried changing my email address but got an error message saying: "A user with this email already exists."

If you'd like to change your account email to one that already exists within Notion, you can log into the account that holds the email you want and delete that account to free up that email address.

To delete the account, go to Settings & Members in the left sidebar, then My Account, then Delete My Account.

Then log into your current account, and go to Settings & Members, then My Account, and select Change email. You should be able to switch to the freed up email address.

My company is changing their domain name. How do we migrate?

Our system will recognize and change the account emails to the new domain automatically upon login with the new domain, as long as the email address is the same (i.e. "john@makenotion.com" → "john@notion.com").

If the email address is not the same (i.e. js@makenotion.com → john@notion.com), you will need to manually change your account email in My Account under Settings & Members in the sidebar.
