You cannot change your primary address yourself. Everything else here you can.

The short version

Sign in with the email address your invitation went to. If the password is gone, press Forgot password? on the sign-in page and follow the link in the message. Everything else on this page lives in Settings.

Before you start

League players and captains get an account created for them, see activation: sign in with the address the invitation went to. A coach creates their own.

Signing in

Fill in your email and password and press Sign In. Continue with Google works if your Google address is the same as your Padlo address.

  2. Enter your address and press Send reset link. The answer is the same whether or not the address has an account.

The language choice is per device, not per account.

Trouble?

“Invalid email address or password”. Check your keyboard language and capitals. Order a new password link if you need one.

“Too many sign-in attempts”. Too many attempts came from the same network in a short time. Wait a few minutes.

Google sign-in doesn’t recognise my account. Google only works when your Padlo primary address is the same as your Google address.

The address is already in use. It belongs to another Padlo account. Sign in with that account, or contact support.

The verification link didn’t work. It is valid for 24 hours and works once. Press Resend next to the address in Settings.

Verification Failed screen with a Go to Settings button.
A spent or expired verification link looks like this.

I don’t remember which address I was added with. Ask your club contact. The invitation goes to the address on file.
