Logging in to YouTrack

Last modified: 09 October 2024

Your YouTrack account grants you access to your YouTrack site. The method you use for logging in is based on the options that are configured by your system administrator.

  • If registration is enabled, you can access the web address of your YouTrack site and click the Sign up button. This lets you specify your personal username, email address, and password. These credentials are added to your account and can be used for subsequent logins.

  • If an administrator invites you to register for an account, you receive an email invitation. This invitation contains a link to your YouTrack site. When you follow this link, you are asked to set the password for your account. The local part of the email address that was used to generate the invitation is used as your full name and username, which you can change in your profile.

  • An administrator can also create and configure an account on your behalf. In this case, the administrator sets the email address and password for your account. When the Force changing password option is enabled, you are asked to change the password when you log in with these credentials.

There is no single URL for accessing YouTrack. Each YouTrack Server installation and YouTrack Cloud instance has its own unique web address that you use to log into the site where your account is registered. If you can't remember the web address used by your organization, ask your teammates or system administrators for assistance.

In many cases, logging in with your YouTrack account is not the only option. Your administrators can configure additional authentication modules that let you log in to the site with credentials from a directory service or a third-party authentication provider.
