Below are instructions for logging into Clever with specific login methods: Clever Passwords, Google, and Active Directory.

Logging into Clever with Clever Passwords

If you are using the 'Log in with Clever' button, enter your district username and password. Your username and password are set up by your school district. They may be your student number, ID, or email address.

If you see the error ('Invalid username or password'), this means that the username and/or password you have entered are not correct for your Clever account.

You can click the 'Get help signing in!' link to reset your password using the email linked to your Clever account. Please note: not all districts allow students to reset their own password. If you do not see the option to reset your password, or if this doesn't resolve the issue, please reach out to your classroom teacher or principal for help with your Clever username and password.

Logging into Clever with Google

If you are using the 'Log in with Google' button, you will be redirected to sign into the Google email linked to your Clever account (your school email). Please note: using your personal Google email will not sign you into Clever.

If you see the error message ('Wrong password. Try again or click Forgot password to reset it'), this means that the password you entered for your Google email is incorrect. You will need to enter the correct password for your Google account, or use the 'Forgot password?' link to reset the password for your Google account.

Please note: not all districts allow students to reset their own password. If you do not see the option to reset your password, or if this doesn't resolve the issue, please reach out to your classroom teacher or principal for help with your Google email and password.

If you see the following error message ('Uh oh! We were not able to authenticate using Google email: xxxx@example.com'), this means that the Google email you signed into is not the email that is linked to your Clever account. Please make sure you are using your school Google email account.

If you are still having trouble when using your school Google account, please ask your teacher or principal to let you know the correct school email that you should use to log into Clever. If they are still seeing an issue, they can contact Clever Support.

Logging into Clever with Active Directory 

If you are using the 'Log in with Active Directory' button, you will be redirected to sign into your school account through Active Directory Federation Services. The username and password for ADFS are managed by your district administration.

If you see a message similar to 'Incorrect user ID or password', you will need to reach out to your teacher or principal for help with the correct login information for your account.

Using a Backup Code to log into Clever

If you do not know your login information for Clever, your teacher can give you a Backup Code to log into your Clever Portal. To do this, click the 'Get help signing in!' link from the Clever login page, then click 'Students: Log in with a Backup Code'. Then, you can enter the Backup Code you get from your teacher and click 'Log In' to access your Clever Portal.

Still can’t login? Ask your teacher for help! They can help you using the directions found here.
