Quick answer

Affinity needs a Canva account to activate. If the browser hand-off hangs, finish with the Continue prompt, retry in your default browser, or check that your team has Affinity enabled.

Most likely fix: Complete the browser hand-off

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Complete the browser hand-off

    1. Sign in on Canva in your default browser
    2. When 'Almost in the app' shows, select Continue
    3. Allow the browser's prompt to open Affinity

  2. 2. Choose a different team

  3. 3. Retry cleanly

    1. Quit Affinity, disable VPN or blockers briefly, and relaunch to sign in again
    2. Set Chrome, Safari or Edge as the default browser if the hand-off opens nothing
