Recover your Canva account using a recovery email


The steps in this page will only work if you have a recovery email set up.

If you haven’t set up a recovery email, learn how to add a recovery email to your account.

If you can't access your Canva account using your primary login email, regain access with your recovery email.

Here’s how:

Quick tip

If you’ve previously set up a recovery email, you can recover your account here. Note: This link only works if you’re logged out.

You can also recover your account from the login page

  1. On the login page, select Continue with email.
  2. Enter your email and the code to verify it’s you.
  3.  If you didn’t receive the code, select Try another way.
  4. Try to log in using the options presented. 
  5. If you’re unable to log in, recover your account. Select Send code to recovery email.
  6. Enter the 6-digit code sent to that email.
  7. Complete any required multi-factor authentication if it’s turned on.
  8. Once verified, you’ll regain access to your account.

You can then:

  • Update your primary login email, or
  • Choose to keep it and proceed.

If you use your recovery email as your new primary login email, you'll be prompted to set a new recovery email.

Still can’t recover your account?

Use our account recovery form to help you regain access to your account.
