How to log in to the console

Reviewed on June 09, 2025

You can use different methods to log in to the Scaleway console.

Whether you are an Organization Owner or an IAM Member, Scaleway supports multiple authentication methods, including email and password, one-time authentication codes, and Single Sign-On (SSO) via Google, GitHub, or SAML. While many methods are similar across roles, availability depends on what user type you are and how your organization is configured.

An IAM user is a human user in an Organization. They can be of two types:

Owner: You are the Owner of the Organization that was created with your account. You manage the root account and log in directly.
Member: You are a Member when you are added to an Organization by an Owner or user with IAM Manager permissions. Members exist only within the specific Organizations in which they are created. They must identify their Organization ID before logging in.

This page describes the different log in methods available, and what to consider based on your role.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

A Scaleway account
Know your IAM user type: Owner or Member

How to log in as an Organization Owner

Open your web browser and go to the Scaleway console.

Log in as an IAM Member

If you were added to a Scaleway Organization as an IAM Member, you must follow a dedicated login process.

Open your web browser and go to the Scaleway console.
Click Log in as an IAM Member.
Enter the Organization ID or alias and click Continue.
Important

When you are added to an Organization as a Member, a Scaleway account is automatically created for you. An Organization administrator must provide a username, email and Organization ID for you to log in.

If your Organization admin provided a link to connect directly to your Organization, you can disregard step 3.
Enter the username given to you by your Organization's Owner or administrator.
Select an authentication method between Log in with SSO, Send code and Enter password.

How to log in using MFA

If Multifactor Authentication (MFA) is enabled on your account, MFA authentication will be an additional step for all methods of log in described on this page.

You can authenticate using either a:

One-time password (TOTP) - method through which you access your account using a unique, time-based validation code generated by an app, or
Passkey - secure authentication method that eliminates the need to create, manage, or remember passwords.

If the login information provided in any of the previous methods is valid, you will be redirected the Multifactor Authentication screen. If both MFA methods are enabled in your account, you will see the passkey screen by default.
