Overview
This article explains how to use Google's Single Sign-On (SSO) service to sign up with a new DreamHost account or log in to your DreamHost panel.
SSO helps to simplify the login process by allowing you to use your Google account instead of remembering another user/password combination.
Some browsers are enabled with default pop-up settings that disable pop-ups from displaying. If so, you must manually allow your browser to display pop-ups. The following links show how to do this with popular browsers.
How to use SSO at DreamHost
The following steps use Google's SSO to create and log into your DreamHost account.
Creating a new account
Follow the instructions in this article to create a new DreamHost account.
During this process, you have the option to create an account with an email of your choice or use Google's SSO method. Choose the Sign Up with Google button. Then log in with your Google email and password. After you successfully log in, a confirmation message appears in your sign-up form.
Logging into your existing account
If you already have a DreamHost account, you can use SSO to log in.
In order for SSO to function, the primary email address in your DreamHost account must be the same as your Google email address. You can change the primary email in your panel by editing your contact information.
- Visit panel.dreamhost.com to log in.
- Click the Sign In with Google button.
- Enter your Google email and password to continue.
- Authenticate your email address with Google to complete the process.
Once authenticated, you will be able to use SSO to log into your panel.
