Logging in & the Webflow dashboard

How to log in to your Webflow account and find your way around the dashboard to access your site.

Getting into your Webflow account is simple once you know where to go. This guide covers logging in, navigating the dashboard, and finding your site.

Quick summary

Go to the Webflow login page (webflow.com/login) and sign in. Once inside, you'll see the Webflow Dashboard, which shows the sites in your Workspace. Hover over your site's thumbnail and click Open in Webflow. What you can do from there depends on the role you've been given.

What you'll need

Your Webflow account email and password
If you don't have an account yet, ask Chykalophia to invite you

How to log in

Go to the Webflow login page. Open any web browser and go to webflow.com/login.

Choose how to sign in. If you signed up with Google, use that option. Otherwise, sign in with your email address.

Enter your email and password. Use the email address Chykalophia used when they invited you, then follow the prompts on screen.

Enter your two-factor code if prompted. If you've set up two-factor authentication (recommended), open your authenticator app and enter the current code it shows for Webflow.

You're in. You'll land on the Webflow Dashboard.

Can't remember your password?

Click Forgot your password? on the login page and enter your Webflow account email. Webflow will email you instructions to reset it. If the email doesn't arrive, check your spam folder. If you signed up with Google, you reset your Google Account password instead.

The Webflow Dashboard explained

The Dashboard is your home base in Webflow. Here's what you'll see:

Workspaces — Webflow organizes sites into Workspaces, and each Workspace has its own Dashboard. If Chykalophia set up your account, your site will be inside a Workspace they control or one they set up for you. If you belong to more than one Workspace, switch between them with the Workspace dropdown in the upper left of the Dashboard.

Sites — Each site is a website. Most clients have one main site (their website).

The site thumbnail — Each site appears as a thumbnail with some useful details, such as its Site plan. A green "rocket" icon means the site is published. Hover over the icon to see when it was last published. Hover over the thumbnail itself to see the Open in Webflow button.

Opening your site

To open your site, hover over its thumbnail and click Open in Webflow. There's no longer a choice between "Designer" and "Editor". Webflow retired its separate Editor on August 4, 2026, and now shows you the tools that match your role:

Content editors get edit mode. You can change text, images, links and CMS items, but not the design. This is what you'll use for everyday updates.
Designers and site managers get the full design tools (often called the Designer). Unless you're a developer or have been trained on it, leave design changes to us.

You can also jump straight to editing a page from your live site: add ?update to the end of the page's web address (for example, yoursite.com/about?update). If you aren't signed in, Webflow asks you to sign in first.

See Edit mode vs design mode for a full explanation.

Workspace settings

In the Dashboard, you can also access:

Your account settings — open the Account dropdown in the navbar. This is where your password, two-factor authentication and email notification settings live. (Some newer Webflow articles call this Profile settings.)
Workspace settings — team members, plans, billing, and apps and integrations (usually managed by Chykalophia). Only the Workspace owner and admins can see billing.

Most clients don't need to dig into settings. If something feels off, check with us before making changes.

Common questions

I was invited but I can't see my site in the Dashboard.

Check that you're logged in with the same email address the invitation was sent to. If you created a Webflow account with a different email, the site won't appear. If you belong to more than one Workspace, also check the Workspace dropdown in the upper left. Contact us and we'll re-invite the correct address.

Do I need a paid Webflow account?

Not necessarily. Chykalophia or the site's Workspace owner holds the paid plans, and every Webflow account includes a free plan. To edit your site, though, your account needs a seat in the Workspace: a client seat (some Workspace plans include these for each site) or a limited seat, which the Workspace owner or an admin adds. We'll set this up for you. Check with us if you're unsure.

I see design tools I wasn't expecting.

What you see in Webflow depends on the role you've been given. If you expected the simpler content editing tools but see the full design tools, your account may have a design role. Don't change the design. Ask Chykalophia to check your role, and we'll set it to Content editor if that's what you need.

Can I log in on my phone?

Not for working on your site. Webflow says it needs a mouse-and-keyboard device, meaning a desktop or laptop computer, with a screen at least 1268px wide. It officially supports the last three major versions of modern browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Use a computer to edit your site.
