When you open Claude on a web browser ( claude.ai ), the desktop app, or a mobile app, you will see two different options for logging in to your Claude account. Continue with Google Click “Continue with Google” if you want to use your Google account credentials to log in to Claude. This opens a modal where you can enter your Google email address and password. After entering your credentials and clicking “Next,” you will be authenticated into your Claude account. Continue with email If you’d prefer to use your email address to log in, enter it in the field pictured above, and click “Continue with email.” This will send you an email with the subject line “Secure link to log in to Claude.ai” and a login link. Clicking the link on the same device If you requested the login email and clicked the link using the same device, you’ll be automatically redirected to your logged-in Claude account. Clicking the link on another device If you requested the login email and clicked the link using a different device (requesting from a web browser and clicking the email link on a phone, for example), then you will still see a “Sign in with Claude.ai” link in the email, but clicking it will generate a verification code. You should enter this code on the original device where you requested the login email to authenticate. Authenticating to subscription plans Claude offers subscription plans (Free, Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise) that let subscribers authenticate using OAuth tokens or other methods. Subscription plans can only be used by subscribers, and the usage included in these plans is designed to support ordinary use of native Anthropic applications, including the Claude web, desktop, and mobile applications and Claude Code. The preferred way to access Anthropic services using third-party software, tools, or services (“third-party tools”), including open-source projects, is through API key authentication through Claude Console or a supported cloud provider. Anthropic may at its discretion allow paid subscribers who have enabled usage credits to use certain third-party tools to access Anthropic services included in paid subscription plans, but reserves the right to draw use of such third-party tools from usage credits rather than subscription limits. Users are responsible for any usage credit charges incurred this way. Use of third-party tools that misrepresent their identity to Anthropic’s servers, attempt to route third-party traffic against subscription limits, or otherwise violate applicable terms or policies is prohibited and such use may be enforced against. If you’re building a product, application, or tool for others, use API key authentication through Claude Console or a supported cloud provider. Applications that misrepresent their identity to Anthropic’s servers, attempt to route third-party traffic against subscription limits, or otherwise violate applicable terms or policies are prohibited and may be enforced against.
