Can't Log In to Trello (Atlassian Account Login Loop)
Workaround available Web, iOS, Android, Desktop Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Trello logins go through Atlassian accounts; most loops are caused by stale cookies or the browser picking the wrong account. Clear trello.com and atlassian.com data or use a private window.
Most likely fix: Clear site data.
Symptoms
Login page reloads endlessly, 'incorrect email' even with the right password, signed in to the wrong Atlassian account, can't find boards after logging in.
Why it happens
- Stale cookies for trello.com, atlassian.com or id.atlassian.com
- Browser profile auto-selects a different Google/Atlassian account
- Logging in with a different email than the one tied to the boards
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Clear site data
- Delete cookies and cache for trello.com, atlassian.com and id.atlassian.com
- Restart the browser and log in again
2. Use a private window or another browser
- Avoids the browser profile choosing the wrong account
3. Log in via Atlassian
- Go to id.atlassian.com or use 'Log in with Atlassian' on trello.com/login
4. Check which email owns your boards
- Try every email you may have used (including Google sign-in)
- Use password reset to confirm which address has an account
5. Contact support
- Open a ticket at trello.com/contact — replies to support email addresses may bounce
