Can't Log In to Todoist
Workaround available All Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Most failed logins come from using a different sign-in method than the one you signed up with (Google vs email/password). Try each option on the login page, check status.todoist.net for an outage, and use Todoist's account recovery if Google login stopped working.
Most likely fix: Use your original sign-in method.
Symptoms
Wrong password errors, 'account not found', Google sign-in failing, or a new empty account appearing.
Why it happens
- Signing in with email/password when the account uses Google (or vice versa)
- Accidentally creating a second account with a typo in the email
- Google sign-in no longer linked or working
- Todoist login outage (e.g. June 9, 2026 for some Google sign-ins)
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Use your original sign-in method
- If you signed up with Google, click Continue with Google
- If unsure, try each option on the login page
2. Check for an outage
- Open status.todoist.net
- If an incident is active, wait; short login incidents in 2026 were resolved within hours
3. Reset your password or recover Google access
- Use Forgot password on the login page
- If Google login stopped working, follow Todoist's steps for regaining account access
4. Check for a duplicate account
- If you see an empty account, log out and confirm the exact email used originally
