Change Account settings from google sign in to email

Hey, so I’m currently using Google sign in to get into my Webflow account. In my Account Settings → Email Settings there is a button that asks me if I would prefer to use my password.

When I click that it asks me for my current password which I obviously don’t have. How can I change that setting then?

Thx

Hi there, If you log in with Google and you do not have a password, you can request one by heading to the login page and clicking forgot password? . A link to reset your password will be sent to your gmail.

I hope this helps

This works for separating emails from their Google Accounts and adding a Webflow password! Thanks!

This is saying ‘token’ is required after following the workflow from the reset password email.

Any thoughts?

To set a password, disconnect Google and change email. These were my steps:

To set email password and remove Google:

Continue here if you want to also change your email:

  • Login to Webflow and go to Email Settings
  • Click ‘Would you prefer to use Google Sign-In?’ this will reveal the password field (it was hidden for me and kept prompting for a password that I couldn’t see)
  • Put in your new email and password
  • Go to your old email and click the link
  • Login to Webflow with your old email (this also wasn’t clear), you will now see a prompt confirming your new email is setup.

Thank you so much. This really helped, I was able to set email and password, change my email and remove Google. For the last step, there might be an update, the link went into my new email (not old email).

Has anyone had to go through this process recently?

I’m sorting through the steps to change the email address on a Webflow account created with Google SSO.

But there is still no “Current password” field to enter the password when changing the email address in the Email Settings section.

Below the “New email address” field is a message that reads: “Changing emails may require a password reset if your new email does not have Google Sign-In.”

And then below that is the “Sign in with Google” button.

This is after logging out, clearing the browser cache, and logging back in using the current email and password generated in the first step above.

Any thoughts?

I’m sorting through the steps to change the email address on a Webflow account created with Google SSO.

  • I’ve generated a password via the password recovery process.

  • Then disconnected Webflow from the connected accounts in Google via this link: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions

  • Cleared browser (cookies, history, cache)

But there is still no “Current password” field to enter the password when changing the email address in the Email Settings section. Rather this warning message displays below the email field: “Changing emails may require a password reset if your new email does not have Google Sign-In.” And below it is the “Sign in with Google” button.

This persists after logging out and logging back in with the current email and password generated above.

Any thoughts?
