Answer

Important: The steps outlined in this article are intended for customers who use our native authentication. If your account uses SSO to authenticate your users, see the article: Accessing your Zendesk account when your SSO service is down.

If you are having issues signing in, reset your password.

To reset your password

Browse to https://yoursubdomain.zendesk.com/access/help, replace yoursubdomain with your account-specific subdomain name. Or use the button below to select your subdomain and be redirected directly to the password reset page.
Go to password reset page

Enter the email address you use to sign in, and click Submit.

Check your inbox associated with the email address provided and follow the instructions on the email you have just received.

Note: You will receive two email notifications when resetting your password. The emails will have separate branding. For example, This email is a service from [brand_name]. Delivered by Zendesk, and This email is a service from [account_name]. Delivered by Zendesk.
