Question: I use Clever or ClassLink to log in today. Can I use Google Log In?
Answer: No, please continue to use Clever or ClassLink to retain access to your current rosters and information. If you use Clever or ClassLink and attempt to log in with Google, you will be redirected to log in with Clever or ClassLink.
Please direct your students to also continue to log in via Clever or ClassLink if these are already enabled.
Question: I have an existing account (non-SSO) and I see the Google sign-in option now – is there a way I can now begin to use Google sign-in with my already account?
Answer: Yes – once a teacher is able to start the registration process after going through Google, they will have the option to link to an existing account.
Answer: Your district will need to enable this feature. Please contact your IT team for further action. If you already have Google SSO Log In activated and are having trouble, please reach out to your IT team for assistance.

If the student already existing password, they will need to enter their password to link the accounts. Teachers would need to reset these passwords

If a student has an EVERFI account and clicks the Google log in button, they will need to link accounts by entering their EVERFI username and password. If students do not know this password, they need to have teachers reset the password in order to complete the Google log in process.

Answer: At this time, only Google SSO log in is available to create an improved log in experience for teachers and students. Please continue to utilize the current workflows once logged into EVERFI.
