Log In with Your Email Address

Each Salesforce user account includes a valid username as well as an active email address. Usernames must be formatted to look like an email address, so some users have a username that’s identical to their email address and some don’t. Because you know your email address and Salesforce requires you to add it to your account, why not use that to log in instead of a potentially random username?

Note You can log in with your email address only if no one else has access to the email account. If you use a shared email address or you can’t receive messages sent to your email address, you must continue to log in using your username.

When you click Log In with Email and enter your email address, Salesforce automatically detects your authentication method. If you have only one auth provider, it redirects you to the corresponding login experience. If you have more options, Salesforce displays these options for you to choose.

If you use single sign-on (SSO), the service sends you to your identity provider to complete the login process.

To access the Log In with Email page, click Log In with Email on login.salesforce.com. If you always log in with your email, continue to do so using welcome.salesforce.com or your normal login method.

• Locate Your Email Address and Username
  Every user account has both an email address and a username that’s formatted to look like an email address. It can be confusing to keep track of these values, but you can look them up in your account settings.
• Log In with an Email Address Associated with One Account
  Log in to your Salesforce user account with your email address.
• Log In with an Email Address Associated with Multiple Accounts
  Confirm your email address with a verification code, choose the Salesforce user account, and log in.
• Add an Email Address
  When you log in with your email address again, the page lists previous email addresses that you signed in with. You can choose an email address from the list or log in with a different email address.
