# How to login into FilterPixel?

${vimeo}[Login to Filterpixel](1212807183)

**Watch the quick video above, or follow the steps below.** Logging in takes less than a minute, and there are two ways to do it: **Continue with Google**, or **email + one-time code (OTP)**.
FilterPixel signs you in through your web browser: when you click Sign-in inside the app, your browser opens for a moment, and once you're done it hands you straight back to the app.
**Step 1 — Click "Sign-in to FilterPixel"**
Launch the FilterPixel desktop app and click **Sign-in to FilterPixel** on the welcome screen. Your browser opens the FilterPixel login page.
**Method 1 — Continue with Google (fastest)**
1. On the login page, click **Sign in with Google**.
2. In the Google window, **choose the account** you want to use with FilterPixel.
3. Done — FilterPixel confirms your account automatically and takes you back to the app. No password, no code.
**Method 2 — Email + one-time code (OTP)**
1. On the login page, **type your email address** and click **Continue**.
2. FilterPixel emails you a **six-digit one-time code**. Keep the browser tab open while you check your inbox.
3. **Enter the code** in the boxes — FilterPixel verifies it and logs you in on the spot.
**Didn't get the code?** Give it a minute and check your spam folder. The code goes to exactly the address you typed, so double-check for typos.
**Step 2 — Return to the app**
With either method, the browser finishes on an **Open FilterPixel App** page and asks for permission to switch apps. Click **Open FilterPixel** (or the **Open App** button if no popup appears). The desktop app comes to the front, signed in — you'll see your Home screen, ready to go.
**Troubleshooting**
* **The browser never opens** — click Sign-in to FilterPixel again, and make sure Windows has a default browser set.
* **The OTP hasn't arrived** — wait about a minute, check spam, and confirm the email address was typed correctly.
* **The app doesn't come back after login** — click **Open App** on the browser page to switch back manually.
* **Picked the wrong Google account** — log out inside the app, sign in again, and choose **Use another account** in the Google window.
