Sign in to Teetrack with your Google account

By Tristan Doehl · · Updated

Google sign-in lets you use an existing Google identity to enter Teetrack. It is useful when you prefer that login method to managing another password, and it can link to an existing Teetrack account with the same verified email address.

Follow the sign-in flow

Choose “Sign in with Google” on the login page. Google handles the sign-in and returns you to Teetrack after authorisation. Teetrack checks the returned identity and verified email address before using it to sign you in.

This connection is for authentication. Connecting Google Calendar is a separate operation with separate permissions. Signing in with Google does not by itself import calendar events into your time records.

Understand which account will open

If the verified Google email matches an existing Teetrack account, Teetrack automatically links the identity to that account and confirms the account if it was still unconfirmed. Its time records and projects stay with the same user. An existing password login remains available alongside Google sign-in.

If there is no matching account, the flow creates a new one. Check the email address shown by Google when you use several accounts, since choosing a different address can take you to a different Teetrack account from the one you expected.

Manage linked login methods

Open the account menu, which shows your email address in the top bar, and choose Settings. There, the Linked Accounts section shows the connected identity and provides linking and unlinking controls. Before removing Google as a login method, make sure you have another way to enter the account. Teetrack prevents unlinking the only login method when no password is set.

Check access before changing your routine

After your first Google sign-in, confirm that your familiar projects and entries are present. Once you have checked the account and retained the login methods you need, you can use Google sign-in for subsequent visits. The Google sign-in overview describes the available controls.
