Unique email address

If you don't want to use Google or Apple, you can create an account with a unique email.

Your email address must:

• Be intended for long-term use
• Be protected by a password
• Support account recovery
• Come from a trusted provider (such as Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo)

Temporary or disposable ('burner') email addresses aren't permitted. These emails often:

• Expire after minutes or days
• Come from services like mailinator.com or tempmail.org
• Don't offer strong security or recovery options

Creating the account

4. Enter this six-digit code.
5. Click or tap Create account.
6. Add and verify your phone number.

What to expect

• We'll send a verification link to your email. Check your spam or junk folder if you didn't get it.
• If the link expires, request a new one.
• Click or tap Confirm your Indeed account, then sign in using your verified email address.

Signing in

Google

1. Click or tap the Google sign-in logo.
2. Select the right account if there's more than one linked to your device.

Apple ID

1. Click Continue with Apple.
2. If your Apple ID uses a Gmail address, sign in with your Google account instead to avoid confusion.

Verifying your account when you can't sign in

If you can't sign in to your Indeed account and need to update your email address or phone number, we'll first need to verify that the account belongs to you.

What we'll need

• The email address currently linked to your account
• The new email address you'd like us to use
• At least two of the following
  • A recent application (exact company name, job title and location).
    • If you still have access to your email, search for messages from indeedapply@indeed.com.
  • A recently saved job (exact company name, job title and location).
  • The most recent position listed on your resume (exact company name, job title and location).
  • A copy of your resume (PDF, .doc or similar format).
  • The last four digits of the phone number on the account or resume.

What happens next

• We'll verify that you're the account owner.
• Once confirmed, we'll help update the email address or phone number linked to your account.

If you can't provide the requested details, you may need to create a new account using a different email address.

Technical support

Issue: I need to change the email address. I used Google to create an account.

Solution: Since your Indeed account is linked to your Google account, you must make changes through Google. Visit Google's Help Centre for information on using a different email address.

Issue: I'm warned that my profile may be in violation of Indeed's guidelines. My profile is no longer visible to employers.

Problem: We may have suspended your account. This could be because you're using a temporary email address, or your resume doesn't meet our Job Seeker guidelines.

Solution: Submit an appeal so that we can review the issue. Here's what we'll need from you.

FAQs

Question: Can I merge two Indeed accounts?

Answer: No. Unfortunately, merging accounts isn't possible.

Question: Can I connect my Glassdoor account to Indeed?

Answer: Yes. When you sign in to Glassdoor, you'll be automatically redirected to Indeed. This will connect the accounts. Contact us here if you're having trouble merging your accounts.

Question: Can I sign in to Glassdoor with a different password than my Indeed account?

Answer: No, but don't worry. You won't need a separate password to sign in to Glassdoor if you use the same email address as your Indeed account.
