What Is Teachable SSO?
Teachable SSO utilizes Google Single Sign-on, which means students can use it to link their Google account with your Teachable school for login purposes. Essentially, it removes the requirement for students to remember yet another set of login credentials because they can simply use their Google login details.
Teachable SSO is optional, and you have to manually enable it for your Teachable school in order for people to use it. Additionally, Teachable SSO is not available on the free plan. You must be subscribed to a paid plan to access it.
The Benefits of Using Teachable SSO
Enabling Teachable SSO provides a better experience for your students. It takes away the hassle of setting a new username and password and makes it far less likely for students to forget their login details.
Once SSO is set up, students can log into their account seamlessly via their Google credentials with only a couple of clicks. Overall, it’s a faster and easier process.
How to Set Up Google SSO for Teachable (Step by Step)
Step 1: Log into your Teachable school, click on the settings icon, and then select “General.” On the Global Settings page that appears, make sure you are in the “Website” tab.
Step 2: Scroll down the page to where it says “Log in settings.” Click to enable Google account login. Teachable SSO is now set up and ready for students to use.
Teachable SSO: What Do Students See?
When students go to log into your school, they will now be presented with two options. Either log in using their email and password or click the “Log in with Google” button.
Remember, students are not obligated to use Teachable SSO and can opt to use the standard login method.
How to Link a Google Account to a Teachable School (Step by Step)
Step 1: On the Teachable school’s homepage, click to log in. Next, click the “Log in with Google” button.
Step 2: A pop-up will appear with your Google accounts listed. Select the account you wish to use.
If you are not currently logged into your chosen Google account, you will be required to enter the password for it. Once this is done, you won’t have to enter the password again unless you manually log out via Google.
Existing students of a Teachable school can also choose to switch from the standard login process to Teachable SSO.
To do this, log into your account and select “Edit Profile” from the top-right menu.
Next, under “Linked Accounts,” select to link your Google account. Now refer to step 2 above to successfully connect your Google account with Teachable.

Step 1: Log into your Teachable account and select “Edit Profile.”
Step 2: Scroll to the “Linked Accounts” section and click “Unlink” next to where it says “Log in with Google.”
Step 3: A pop-up will now invite you to set a password to be used for the standard login process. When you’ve entered and confirmed a new password, select “Confirm Unlink.”
You will now receive an automated email confirming that you have removed your Google account from Teachable.
