Log In | Gemini — Sign In

Securely access your Gemini account. This article explains the sign-in flow, common issues, and best practices to keep your account safe.

What you'll need

  • An active Gemini account (email or phone linked)
  • Your account password
  • Access to your second factor (Authenticator app, SMS, or hardware key) if enabled

Step-by-step: How to sign in

  1. Open the Gemini website or mobile app and click Sign in.
  2. Enter the email address or phone number associated with your account.
  3. Type your password. If you use a password manager, autofill is safe when using your personal device.
  4. If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, complete the 2FA step.
  5. When signed in, verify your account details and check for any security alerts.

Below is a simple mockup of a sign-in form for documentation purposes (non-functional):

<form action="/session" method="POST" aria-labelledby="signin-heading">
<h3 id="signin-heading">Sign in to Gemini</h3>
<label>Email or phone<input type="text" name="identifier" required></label>
<label>Password<input type="password" name="password" required minlength="8"></label>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="remember"> Keep me signed in</label>
<button class="btn" type="submit">Sign In</button>
</form>

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

2FA protects your account by requiring a second proof of identity. Common options:

  • Authenticator app (recommended): Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar — generates time-based codes.
  • SMS: convenient but less secure due to SIM-swapping risks.
  • Hardware security key (FIDO2 / WebAuthn): strongest option for protection.

Troubleshooting

Forgot password

Use the "Forgot password" link on the sign-in page. Gemini will send reset instructions to your registered email. If you don't receive the email, check spam and verify the address you used.

Unable to receive 2FA codes

  • Try a backup method (backup codes or an alternate device).
  • If using an authenticator app, make sure device clock is accurate (set to automatic time).
  • Contact Gemini support if you cannot recover access; expect identity verification steps.

Security best practices

  • Enable strong 2FA (prefer authenticator app or hardware key).
  • Use a unique, high-entropy password. Consider a password manager.
  • Never share your private keys, recovery phrases, or 2FA backup codes with anyone.
  • Verify URLs and bookmarks — phishing sites often mimic legitimate pages.
  • Keep your OS and browser up to date.
