If you’re searching for “Perplexity AI login”, you probably want to:

Fix problems like can’t log in, stuck on loading, or verification not working
This guide walks through all the ways to log in to Perplexity AI, step-by-step, plus common fixes and security tips.
You can access Perplexity from three main places:
Web (Browser)
Go to perplexity.ai
Click Sign in (usually bottom-left or top-right depending on layout)
Mobile Apps
iOS: App Store → search “Perplexity – AI Search & Chat” → Install → Sign in
Android: Google Play → search “Perplexity – Ask Anything” → Install → Sign in
Comet / Browser Extensions (Where Available)
If you use Perplexity’s Comet browser or extension, it will prompt you to log in with the same account you use on the main app, so your history and settings stay synced.
You can also use Perplexity in Guest Mode with no login at all, but you’ll miss account features like synced history and Spaces (more on that later).
If you don’t have an account yet, the login page automatically offers Sign up options.
On web and mobile, you can typically sign up with:
Email + password
Google account
Apple ID (on Apple devices or via supported browsers)
In some regions, other SSO providers may appear (e.g., Microsoft for Enterprise).
Go to perplexity.ai and click Sign in → then Sign up.
Enter:
Your email address
A strong password (at least 12 chars, mix of letters, numbers & symbols recommended)
Check your inbox for a verification email from Perplexity (sometimes in Promotions/Spam).
Click the verification link to activate the account.
Return to Perplexity and sign in with your email and password.
Once verified, you can use the same login on web, iOS, Android, and Comet.
Open a browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, etc.).
Visit perplexity.ai.
Click Sign in.
Choose your login method:
Continue with Google (if you signed up with Google)
Continue with Apple (if you used Apple ID)
Or log in with email & password
If prompted, complete 2-step verification (if you’ve enabled it).
After login, you’ll see:
The main Ask anything… search bar
Side menu with Home, Discover, Spaces, Finance (depending on UI version)
Your account/profile icon.
Open the Perplexity app.
Tap Sign in.
Choose your method (Google, Apple, Email, etc.) – ideally the same one you used originally.
Approve any pop-ups (e.g., Google or Apple sign-in confirmation).
Your conversations and Spaces will sync automatically to your mobile device, as long as you used the same account.
Perplexity lets you use the app in Guest Mode, meaning:
No email, no password, no sign-up.
You can still ask questions and get answers.
Limitations of Guest Mode:
Your history may be local and temporary – if you clear cookies or switch devices, you lose it.
You may have stricter usage limits (fewer Pro searches, file uploads, etc.).
No persistent Spaces or cross-device sync.
If you use Perplexity regularly, it’s worth going through the quick login / sign-up process to unlock the full experience.
If you’ve subscribed to:
Max
Or an Enterprise plan
Your login process is the same, but your account will have extra benefits once you’re signed in:
Higher daily limits for Pro searches and Deep Research
Access to premium models and Labs
For Enterprise: access to team Spaces, internal knowledge, and admin controls.
Just make sure you’re logging in with the same email/SSO account that you used when you activated your subscription or were invited by your organization.
Here are common login issues and how to fix them:
Double-check that you’re using the right login method:
If you signed up with Google, don’t try email+password unless you set one later.
If you signed up with Apple “Hide My Email”, you may have a masked email – always use “Continue with Apple”.
Try the “Forgot password?” link if you created a password account.
Check for typos or CAPS LOCK.
If you still can’t log in, you may have two separate accounts (e.g., one with email and one with Google). Try each method once.
If the verification or reset email isn’t arriving:
Check Spam / Junk / Promotions folders.
Add Perplexity’s email domain to your safe senders (if your provider allows).
Resend the email from the login page.
If you’re using a school/work email, your organization might filter external mail. Try a personal Gmail/Outlook address instead.
If Perplexity keeps reloading or won’t finish logging in:
Clear browser cache and cookies for perplexity.ai.
Try a different browser (e.g., switch from Safari to Chrome).
Disable aggressive ad-blockers / script-blockers temporarily for perplexity.ai.
On mobile, force close the app and reopen; update the app to the latest version from the store.
If you’re part of a company or school:
Make sure you’re using the exact email your admin invited (e.g., your work domain, not personal Gmail).
If your org uses SSO (Single Sign-On):
Click the Enterprise / SSO option when available.
You may be redirected to your company’s login page.
If your access suddenly stops working, your seat may have been removed or expired – contact your admin or IT team.
Because Perplexity can see your questions, files, and sometimes sensitive research, it’s worth protecting your account:
Use a strong, unique password (and a password manager).
Turn on any multi-factor or 2-step verification options if available.
Never share your login details with anyone – especially if you’re on a paid plan.
Log out on shared or public computers (libraries, labs, etc.).
Review connected apps (Google / Apple) periodically and revoke access you don’t use.
For Enterprise accounts, your organization may also enforce policies around data retention, access logs, and SSO security.
1. Do I need an account to use Perplexity AI?
No. You can use Guest Mode without logging in, but you’ll have limited features and no cross-device sync.
2. Is the Perplexity AI login the same on web and mobile?
Yes. Use the same email/Google/Apple account and you’ll see the same history and Spaces everywhere.
3. Can I change the email I use to log in?
You can usually update your account email in settings, but if you used Google/Apple sign-in only, you may first need to set a password and email. Always check Perplexity’s account or help pages for the latest steps.
4. How do I log in if I got Perplexity Pro through a promo (e.g., Airtel, Xfinity, PayPal)?
Use the same account you activated the promo with. Once logged in, your plan will show as Pro under subscription settings.
5. Is Perplexity AI login free?
Yes, creating and logging into an account is free. You only pay if you choose to upgrade to a paid plan (Pro, Max, or Enterprise).
Web: go to perplexity.ai → Sign in → Google / Apple / Email
Mobile: open the Perplexity app and tap Sign in
Guest Mode: open the site and start typing—no login needed, but limited features
Once you’ve logged in once and enabled sync, Perplexity becomes a personalized research, writing, and coding assistant that follows you across devices—no more losing your best threads or Spaces just because you switched from laptop to phone.
