Troubleshooting login and OTP issues
If you’re having trouble logging into your Flodesk account or receiving your one-time password (OTP), this guide will walk you through the most common errors and how to resolve them quickly.
How to Log Into Flodesk
To log in, visit:
https://app.flodesk.com/sign-in
Use your Flodesk account login email address (not necessarily your sending email address).
Common Login Error Messages & How to Fix Them
“User not found”
You may be using the wrong email address.
What to do:
Confirm you’re entering the correct Flodesk login email
Use all lowercase letters (e.g., myemail@domain.com)
Still unsure? Email support@flodesk.com
“There is an existing account associated with [email address]”
This means the email address you’re trying to use is already linked to another Flodesk account.
What to do:
Use a different email to create the new account
Or, remove the email address as a sender from the original account first
You can also request to delete the original account by emailing support@flodesk.com
“Email must be a valid email”
Usually caused by a formatting or browser issue.
What to do:
Ensure there are no trailing spaces in the email address
Clear your browser cache
Make sure your browser and OS are up to date
If using a phone, try logging in on desktop instead
“Incorrect username or password”
Your login email is correct, but the password doesn’t match.
What to do:
Click Show password to confirm accuracy
If you forgot your password, click Forgot your password? to reset it
“Email is in invalid format”
Flodesk can’t recognize the format of the email you entered.
What to do:
Double-check that your email is typed correctly (no spaces or typos)
Clear browser cache, update browser, and try again
Try a different browser or restart your device
Lost access to your login email address?
If your Flodesk login email is inactive or no longer accessible, our support team can help update it.

Be ready to answer security verification questions.
Troubleshooting One-Time Password (OTP) Issues
Flodesk uses OTP for extra login security. This security feature automatically sends a one-time password if we detect any unusual login activity. This can happen even if the person logging in is authorized.
OTP codes expire in 10 minutes and can’t be disabled.
Didn’t Receive the OTP?
Try these steps:
Check Spam, Promotions, or Junk folders
Add no-reply@flodesk.com and help@flodesk.com to your contacts and safe senders list
For Outlook users: also add both addresses to the Safe Senders list in your Junk folder settings
Go back to the login page and request the OTP again
Stuck in an OTP Loop?
You request an OTP, enter it, but the system keeps asking for another one.
How to break the loop:
Clear your browser’s cache
Turn off any password manager tools
Delete older OTP emails
Request only one OTP and wait
Manually type in the OTP code once received
Received an OTP you didn’t request?
If you’re not logging in but receive an OTP:
Confirm no one else on your team was attempting to log in
Change your password immediately for added security
A teammate or VA is trying to log in?
OTP codes are always sent to the account email address.
You’ll need to coordinate with your teammate to share the code with them.
