Where do I log into n8n Cloud?

Go to https://app.n8n.cloud and sign in with the email you registered. After login you land on your workflow dashboard.

I forgot my n8n Cloud password — what now?

Use the "Forgot password" link on the login screen. A reset email arrives within a minute. If it does not, check spam, then contact n8n Cloud support from the same email.

Where do I log into self-hosted n8n?

Your own URL, typically https://n8n.yourdomain.com or http://localhost:5678 in dev. The first visitor to a fresh self-host instance creates the owner account.

Can I enable 2FA on n8n login?

Cloud paid plans support 2FA in account settings. Self-hosted n8n supports basic auth and an external proxy for additional factors.

My self-hosted n8n login is locked — how do I recover?

For owner accounts, use the n8n CLI to reset the password via SSH into your server. Documentation: docs.n8n.io/hosting/cli-commands.

n8n Login — Cloud, Self-Host & 2FA Guide

How to log into n8n Cloud and self-hosted n8n instances. Password reset, 2FA, SSO on enterprise plans, and troubleshooting common login errors. +30% trend in India.

n8n login searches rose +30% in India as more teams onboard. Where you sign in depends on which n8n you run: Cloud, your own self-hosted instance, or a partner-hosted setup. This page covers all three plus the common login problems.

n8n Cloud login

Visit app.n8n.cloud
Enter the email you signed up with and your password.
Approve the 2FA prompt if you enabled it.
You land on your workflows dashboard.

If you cannot remember which workspace email you used, search "n8n welcome" in your inbox — the original signup email lists the workspace subdomain.

Self-hosted n8n login

For self-hosted instances the URL is whatever you configured during Docker setup. Typical examples:

https://n8n.yourcompany.com — production with TLS
http://localhost:5678 — local development
http://your-server-ip:5678 — initial install, before adding HTTPS

First-time login on a fresh instance: the very first browser visit creates the owner account. Use a strong password and store it in your team password manager immediately.

Forgot password

n8n Cloud

Click "Forgot password" on the login screen.
Enter your registered email.
Open the reset email (check spam if it does not arrive in 2 minutes).
Set a new password and store it in a password manager.

Self-hosted

Self-hosted n8n does not have a built-in "forgot password" email flow by default. Reset via CLI by SSHing into your server and running n8n's user-management command. Detailed steps: docs.n8n.io CLI reference.

SSO and team login

Enterprise n8n Cloud and self-hosted plans support SAML and OIDC SSO. Typical providers tested in the wild include Google Workspace, Okta, Azure AD, and JumpCloud. If your team uses SSO, use the SSO button on the login screen — not the email-password fields.

Common login errors

"Invalid credentials" on Cloud — check you are using the right workspace subdomain.
Endless redirect loop on self-host — usually a misconfigured WEBHOOK_URL or reverse proxy header. Verify your X-Forwarded-Proto.
Mixed-content warnings — your reverse proxy is serving the editor over HTTPS but n8n thinks it is HTTP. Set N8N_PROTOCOL=https.
2FA code rejected — server clock drift. Sync NTP on the n8n host.

Security after login

Enable 2FA on Cloud paid plans immediately.
For self-host, put n8n behind Cloudflare Access or Tailscale for extra defense.
Rotate API keys quarterly — see our API guide.
Audit user list monthly on team plans.
