How to log in to the console

Reviewed on March 24, 2026

The Scaleway console supports several authentication methods, including email and password, one-time authentication codes, and Single Sign-On (SSO) via Google, GitHub, or SAML. The options available to you depend on your role within an Organization and the Organization configuration.

An IAM user is a human user in an Organization. Identify which IAM user you are:

• 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 login 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

Log in as an Organization Owner

1. Go to the Scaleway console.

Log in as an IAM Member

Adding you as an IAM Member to an Organization automatically creates a Scaleway account for you. An Organization administrator must provide you with a username, email address, and Organization ID (or a direct login link) for you to log in.

1. Go to the Scaleway console.

2. Click Log in as an IAM Member.

3. Enter the Organization ID or alias, then click Continue.

   Important

   If your Organization admin provided a link to connect directly to your Organization, you can disregard step 3.

4. Enter your username.

5. 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 you credentials.

Two methods are supported:

• One-time password (TOTP) - a unique, time-based validation code generated by an authenticator app
• Passkey - a passwordless authentication method that removes the need to create, manage, or remember passwords.

Once your primary login credentials are validated, you will be redirected to the Multifactor Authentication screen. If both MFA methods are enabled on your account, the passkey screen displays by default.
