Start with a clean session (sign out, clear cache/cookies, disable extensions), then verify plan/permissions, check status/incidents, and retry on another network. If it persists, capture logs/error details and contact support.

Claude supports 3 login methods: Google OAuth, Apple ID, and email+password — using the wrong method for your account type is the single most common cause of login failure. Start by clearing cookies for claude.ai, trying incognito mode, and confirming you are using the exact sign-in method you registered with. Verification code delays average under 2 minutes; check your spam folder for emails from noreply@anthropic.com and wait 5 minutes before requesting a new code.
If account deletion won’t complete, try a clean session, ensure email verification works, and contact support with screenshots if it keeps failing.
If an invite link is expired, request a new invite from the owner, ensure you’re logged into the correct email, and accept in incognito if redirects loop.

Claude's desktop app login failures are usually caused by a corrupted app session, outdated app version, or a network issue specific to the desktop app's built-in browser. Try signing out completely and back in, then update the app to the latest version. If the app login continues to fail, use claude.ai in a regular web browser as a working alternative while you troubleshoot.
Mobile Claude login failures are most commonly fixed by force-closing and reopening the app, then signing out and back in. If the login screen does not load, check your internet connection and update the app to the latest version — outdated mobile apps frequently have authentication issues. Google and Apple login on mobile requires the native app (not a webview) to complete the OAuth handshake properly.
Clear browser data, verify your email address, or try logging in with a different authentication method (Google, email link).
Start with a clean session (sign out, clear cache/cookies, disable extensions), then verify plan/permissions, check status/incidents, and retry on another network. If it persists, capture logs/error details and contact support.
Hard refresh the page, disable extensions, clear cache/cookies, and try another browser or network. If it still won’t load, check for outages or regional blocking.
Fix Claude login problems by clearing site cookies, disabling extensions/VPN, completing OAuth re‑authorization (Google/Apple), and trying a different network. If you’re stuck in a loop, reset the session and verify you’re using the same login method as the account.
If Claude keeps redirecting back to login, test incognito first. If it works, clear site data and disable extensions/VPN. If it fails across devices, it’s likely SSO/workspace or a platform auth incident.
If Claude keeps redirecting you back to the login page, test incognito first. If it works there, clear site data for claude.ai, disable extensions, and turn off VPN/proxy. If it fails across devices and networks, it’s likely an SSO/workspace access issue or a platform-side auth incident.
Claude login stuck on a callback or redirect URL means the OAuth handshake completed on the provider side (Google/Apple) but the redirect back to Claude failed. Clear cookies for claude.ai, disable extensions that block redirects, and try the login again in incognito mode. If the URL in your browser ends with '/callback' or '/oauth' and never changes, that is the stuck point — a fresh session with no extensions resolves this in most cases.
Apple ID login failures on Claude are almost always caused by a blocked OAuth popup or a stale browser session. Open Claude in incognito mode, allow popups for claude.ai, and try signing in with Apple again — this resolves the problem in most cases. If you used iCloud's Hide My Email feature during signup, confirm the relay address is still active and forwarding to your real inbox.

Claude is available in most countries but is restricted in a handful of regions due to legal and compliance requirements. If you see a 'not available in your region' message, this is a genuine geographic restriction that cannot be bypassed through normal troubleshooting. However, if you are receiving the error despite being in a supported country, the issue is likely your IP address appearing to be in a restricted region — disabling your VPN or switching to a different network usually resolves this.
Try incognito mode, clear cookies for Claude/Anthropic, disable extensions, and retry. If you use Sign in with Google/Apple, re-authorize the provider and check for outages.
If Claude keeps verifying without completing, use incognito + hotspot to isolate browser vs network. Clear cookies for claude.ai, disable extensions, and avoid VPN. If it reproduces everywhere, contact support with timestamps.
Claude verification codes typically arrive within 60 seconds but can take up to 10 minutes during high traffic. Check your spam and promotions folders before requesting another code — clicking resend multiple times can trigger a rate limit that delays all subsequent codes by 15–30 minutes. If using a corporate, iCloud, or Outlook email, check quarantine folders as Anthropic's emails are frequently filtered.
Claude verification codes expire within 10 minutes and are invalidated when a newer code is requested. If your code is rejected, request one fresh code, enter it within 2 minutes by typing it manually (not copy-pasting), and complete the process in a single browser tab. If it keeps failing, try the entire login flow in a new incognito window.
If workspace access is denied, verify correct account/workspace, check SSO requirements, and ask the owner to confirm role. Test incognito to rule out stale sessions.
