Seqera Cloud authentication updates​

Seqera Platform Cloud has migrated to a new authentication provider, which includes two major changes to the login flow.

Passwords for email login​

• Users signing in via email: The next time you sign in to Seqera Cloud, select the option to create a new account — "Create one" — and add a password for your existing account. All your existing account information will be preserved and all future sign-ins can be completed with your new password.

• Users using Github/Google sign-in: You are not required to define a password for your account and shouldn’t see any changes on your next sign-in.

Account linking​

Users that sign in with multiple accounts associated with the same email address: You will be prompted to optionally merge your accounts into a single account. This will merge all your work across the two different accounts into the same account and give you the option to sign in via either method of authentication.

If you choose not to merge accounts, you will not be prompted again. If you wish to merge accounts later, or would like to merge accounts with different email addresses, contact Seqera Support.
