Go to the sign-in page, type your email address and password, and select **Sign in**.

The page is headed **Sign in to Evolve**. It has two fields and no other credential entry: there is no single sign-on button, no social provider, and no option to stay signed in.

## Sign in with your email address and password

1. Open `/en/signin`.
2. In **Email address**, type the address your Account was created with.
3. In **Password**, type your password.
4. Select **Sign in**.
5. If two-factor authentication is on for your Account, a **Multi-factor Authentication** dialog opens. Type the six-digit code from your authenticator app and select **Verify**.

You land on the page you were trying to reach, or on your AI Studio thread if you came to the sign-in page directly.

## If you were invited

An invitation link carries a token, and the sign-in page shows the banner **Sign in to accept your invitation.** After you sign in, a dialog asks **Accept invitation?**. Select **Accept invitation** to add the Account now, or **Not now** to decide later from the same link.

## If it did not work

- **We couldn’t sign you in.** means the email address or the password did not match. Retype both, then use [Reset a forgotten password](/help/system/reset-a-forgotten-password) if it fails again.
- **Some existing accounts need to reset their password once before signing in to the updated platform.** appears under that error. Select **Reset password** and set a new one.
- **Too many sign-in attempts. Try again later or reset your password.** means the attempt limit was reached. Wait, then try again or reset the password.
- **Your account isn't ready for Evolve access. Ask your organisation admin for an invite or contact support.** means no Account membership exists yet for that address. See [Help and support](/help/system/help-and-support).
