# Log in and log out

Use **Log In** when you already have a FlowerBuddy account. Enter the **Email** and **Password** for that account and select **Sign In**, or use the Google sign-in option described below. A successful sign-in opens FlowerBuddy after any required email verification is complete.

The Log In page offers email and password access alongside Google sign-in, with password recovery and sign-up links below.

## Sign in with Google

Select **Sign in with Google** and choose the Google account that uses your FlowerBuddy account's email address. Complete Google's prompts to return to FlowerBuddy.

Follow any message shown on the Log In page:

* If no FlowerBuddy account is found, use [Sign up](/reference/account-access/sign-up.md) to create one.
* If FlowerBuddy asks you to sign in with your password before connecting the Google account, use your existing FlowerBuddy email and password first. Use [Reset your password](/reference/account-access/reset-your-password.md) when you do not know that password.
* If your organization requires sign-in with a work Google account, choose that work account rather than a personal Google account.

Choosing a different Google email does not give that account access to your existing FlowerBuddy workspaces. Check the account chooser when you have more than one Google account.

## Use the alternate access links

The Log In page also provides **Forgot your password?** and **Sign up**. Select **Forgot your password?** when you need a reset link. Select **Sign up** only when you need to create an account. If you opened a workspace invitation, FlowerBuddy keeps that invitation connected to the access path and can pre-fill its email address.

If the Log In page reports that the Email and Password do not match an account, check the email address and password. Use [Reset your password](/reference/account-access/reset-your-password.md) instead of repeatedly trying a password you do not know.

## Follow an internal event link

An internal FlowerBuddy event link can send you to **Log In** when your session has expired. Sign in with an account that belongs to the workspace containing the event. After sign-in, FlowerBuddy can open the event only when that account can view it in the current workspace. A tab-specific link can open its named event tab when that tab is available to the account.

This does not make the link public and is not a Client Portal link. If FlowerBuddy reports that the event was not found or cannot be viewed, check the current workspace after signing in. See [Use the sidebar](/reference/navigation-shell/use-the-sidebar.md) for the event-link messages and workspace checks.

## Log out

When you are signed in, select your profile picture or account icon in the upper-right corner and choose **Log Out**. FlowerBuddy returns you to account access. Signing out ends the current session but does not remove your account from any workspace.

If you are using a shared computer, log out when you finish. Logging out does not delete saved events or retail plans, alter workspace membership, or change another person's access.
