Why can't I log in to my Shopify account?

Topic summary

A user is unable to log into their Shopify account and has shared a screenshot of the login issue. Despite trying multiple troubleshooting steps—including clearing cache/cookies, using different browsers, incognito mode, the Shopify mobile app, and alternative devices—the problem persists.

Key developments:

  • The user attempted all suggested solutions without success
  • They’re requesting account/store deactivation for multiple email addresses to stop billing, as they cannot access the account to manage it themselves
  • Community support clarified that account-specific actions (deactivation, billing changes) cannot be handled through the forum due to privacy and security policies

Resolution path:
The user needs to contact Shopify Support directly through the Help Center by selecting “Can’t log into your Shopify account” → “I still can’t access my account” to get personalized assistance. The discussion remains unresolved, pending direct support intervention.

Good Day

I cannot log in to my account:

Hi, @Theminimalists .

Welcome to the Shopify Community.

Could you confirm you’re logging in with the email connected to the account?

Additionally, you can try going through the troubleshooting methods listed below to see if you’re able to regain access.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  • Clear your cache and cookies on your browser. After this, completely reboot the browser.
  • Try a different web browser, as well as incognito or private windows to rule out any browser issues.
  • When using incognito, if you are still experiencing a display issue, confirm you have disabled browser extensions as these can change how the pages look.
  • Try another device, like another computer or mobile phone.
  • Try on the Shopify Mobile app; this is usually the best step to try as it also rules out device issues.

Please let us know if these steps helped to resolve the issue.

Hi I tried everything on the community and your suggested solutions and I am logged out all the emails I have still do not allow me access. Please rectify this I cannot be paying when I cant even access the store. Other wise please just deactivate the store and the payments too.

Hi Victoria

None of the solutions worked.

Please deactivate any accounts / stores linked to these accounts:

tapfira.karen@gmail.com

info@minimalists.com

minimalistk.za@gmail.com

And stop any billing to the shopify link:

Hi again, @Theminimalists .

I would like to clarify that through our community forum, we are unable to investigate account-specific questions due to privacy and security reasons. Therefore we are unable to deactivate your account or discontinue billing through the community forum. This would need to be done through the Help Center.

Could you try opening an incognito window and following the steps of being unable to log into your account? The steps are listed in my previous post.
