Log in to the console
The Scaleway console supports several authentication methods. The options available depend on your role and the configuration of your Organization.
Identify your role before logging in:
- Owner - You created the account and are the Owner of your Organization. You log in directly to the console.
- Member - You were added to an Organization by an Owner or a user with IAM Manager permissions. You must identify your Organization ID before logging in.
Before you start
To complete the actions presented below, you must have:
- A Scaleway account
Log in as an Owner
The console supports the following authentication methods for Owners:
- Passkey (if configured): either your browser detects your passkey automatically and prompts you to authenticate with it before asking for your email, or you click Continue with your passkey. If your passkey supports user verification, this single step satisfies both authentication factors.
- Email and password
- One-time authentication code (sent by email)
- Single Sign-On (SSO) via Google, GitHub, or SAML
Log in as a Member
When an Organization administrator adds you as an IAM member, a Scaleway account is automatically created for you. To log in, the administrator must provide you with your username, email address, and Organization ID, or a direct login link.
-
Go to the Scaleway console.
-
Click Log in as an IAM Member.
-
Enter the Organization ID or alias, then click Continue.
-
Enter your username.
-
Select an authentication method: Log in with SSO, Send code, or Enter password.
Log in with MFA
If Multifactor Authentication (MFA) is enabled on your account, you will be prompted for an additional verification step after you enter your credentials.
Scaleway supports two methods:
- One-time password (TOTP) - a unique, time-based code generated by an authenticator app on your phone. Available to all account types (Owners and IAM Members).
- Passkey - a passwordless method based on public-key cryptography (WebAuthn standard). Passkeys can act as a second factor, or — if your device supports user verification — as a complete single-step login that handles both factors at once. Available to account Owners only.
Once your primary login credentials are validated, you are redirected to the Multifactor Authentication screen. If both MFA methods are enabled on your account, the passkey screen displays by default.
