Sign in to Gemini — the short guide
Signing in to Gemini is straightforward but security-minded. Use the official Gemini domain, a strong password, and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). The steps below cover both web and mobile sign-in, plus quick remedies for common issues.
Web sign-in (step-by-step)
- Open your browser and navigate to Gemini's official sign-in page. Confirm the URL and the secure padlock (https).
- Click Sign in, enter your registered email, and type your password. Use a password manager to avoid typing errors.
- If 2FA is enabled enter the code from your authenticator app (recommended) or SMS code.
- After verification you'll land on the Gemini dashboard — check for any unfamiliar recent activity on first login.
Mobile app sign-in
Open the Gemini app, tap Sign in, and use your email/password or biometric unlock (if previously enabled). Approve any 2FA prompts as required — some setups support push approvals.
If you can't sign in
Try these quick fixes: reset your password via the "Forgot password" link, check spam/junk for the reset email, ensure your authenticator app time is synced, and try another browser or clear cookies. If you've lost your 2FA device and have no backup codes, follow Gemini's recovery process which may require identity verification.
Security checklist
- Use a unique strong password stored in a reputable password manager.
- Enable 2FA with an authenticator app or hardware key (preferred over SMS).
- Save backup codes securely offline and keep recovery documents ready.
- Beware of phishing: never enter credentials through emailed links — use bookmarks.
