Gemini Login

Sign in safely to your Gemini account — web & mobile instructions, two-factor guidance, and recovery steps.

Fast guide: sign in to Gemini (web & mobile)

This practical guide walks you through signing into Gemini, setting up secure two-factor authentication (2FA), recovering access, and handling common login problems.

Web sign-in step-by-step

  1. Open the official Gemini website in your browser. Confirm the URL begins with "https://" and the domain is the official Gemini domain.
  2. Click Sign in and enter the email address associated with your account.
  3. Type your password carefully. If you use a password manager, select it from the browser's menu to avoid mistakes.
  4. If 2FA is enabled, enter the code from your authenticator app (recommended) or SMS code as prompted.
  5. Optionally mark the device as trusted to reduce extra verification prompts (only on personal devices).

Mobile app sign-in

Gemini's app mirrors the web flow with mobile-friendly prompts.

  • Open the Gemini app and tap Sign in.
  • Enter email and password or use biometric unlock if previously enabled.
  • Complete 2FA when requested; the app supports TOTP and sometimes push notifications for approval.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

2FA greatly improves account security. Prefer an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar) over SMS where possible. During setup, securely save backup codes in an offline password manager or printed vault.

Can't sign in? Quick fixes

If you encounter errors, try these steps first:

  • Confirm your email and password — check for accidental spaces or caps lock.
  • Try a different browser or clear the browser cache and cookies.
  • Ensure the authenticator app time is correct (sync time in app settings).
  • Use the "Forgot password" flow to reset your password via the registered email.

Locked out because of 2FA?

If you lose your authenticator device, use backup codes or alternate recovery methods you set up. If no backups exist, follow Gemini's account recovery process which may request identity verification.

Security best practices

  1. Use a long, unique password stored in a password manager.
  2. Enable 2FA via an authenticator app and save backup codes offline.
  3. Avoid entering your recovery codes or password into websites or forms that are not Gemini.
  4. Regularly review account activity and authorized devices in Gemini settings.
  5. Keep your OS, browser and the Gemini app up to date.

Account recovery & identity verification

When account recovery is required, Gemini may ask for government ID and other verification steps. This process is designed to protect your assets — provide accurate documents and follow official instructions in the app or on the support site.

Phishing & suspicious logins

If you receive unexpected emails about sign-in attempts, don’t click links. Verify the sender and check the real URL by hovering over links. Immediately change your password and enable 2FA if you suspect unauthorized access.

FAQs

Does Gemini support biometric login?

Yes — the mobile app supports biometric unlock (Face ID, Touch ID) once enabled under settings, but it’s an additional convenience layer to your account security.

How long does account recovery take?

Recovery time varies based on verification needs. It can take from several hours to several days — submitting accurate documentation and prompt responses shortens the process.
