# Sign in to Podigee

Sign in to Podigee with your email address and password, or with a Google, Apple, or Microsoft account.

Use this task to open the Podigee app with an existing account. Sign in with your email address and password, or with the provider account that you used at sign-up.

## Before you start

* Have a Podigee account. See [Create your Podigee account](/documentation/start-here/start-here/create-your-podigee-account.md).
* Know the sign-in method of the account: password, or Google, Apple, or Microsoft.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Classic view" %}

### Complete the task

1. Open the Podigee sign-in page. The page title is **Welcome back!**
2. Choose one method:
   * Enter your **Email** and **Password**, then select **Log in**.
   * Select **Login with Google**, **Login with Apple**, or **Login with Microsoft** and complete the provider sign-in.
3. Wait for the app to open.

![The classic sign-in page Welcome back! with the Email and Password fields, the Forgot your password? link, the Log in button, and the Google, Apple, and Microsoft buttons](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b6a3b744c2d3a4e323a82cf3917ed8ace1686a42%2Fdoc-start-003-classic-sign-in.png?alt=media)

The sign-in page offers the password form and the three provider buttons.

### Expected result

The app opens the page that you tried to open before you signed in, or the podcasts page.

When you sign in with a provider for the first time and no account with that email address exists, Podigee creates a new account. When an account with that email address exists, Podigee uses that account.

### If you cannot complete the task

* **We could not log you in with that Email & Password, please try again**: check the address and the password. Select **Forgot your password?** to set a new password.
* You signed up with Google, Apple, or Microsoft: use the same provider button. These accounts have no password.
* **You must confirm your email address before continuing**: request a new verification link. See [Verify your email address](/documentation/start-here/start-here/verify-your-email-address.md).
* **Your account has been suspended**: contact Podigee Support.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Podigee workspace" %}

1. Open the sign-in page of the Podigee workspace. The page title is **Log in to Podigee** and the heading is **Open your Podigee workspace.**
2. Choose one method:
   * Enter your **Email address** and **Password**, then select **Log in**.
   * Select **Login with Google**, **Login with Apple**, or **Login with Microsoft** and complete the provider sign-in.
3. Wait for the workspace to open on the **Overview** page.

What is different:

* The page shows **Welcome back** as a small line above the heading. The email field is **Email address**.
* The workspace opens on the **Overview** page, not on the podcasts page.
* When the address is not verified yet, the page shows the link **Resend verification email**.
* **Forgot your password?** works the same way in both interfaces.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/start-here/start-here/sign-in-to-podigee.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
