Briefcase and Padlet for Schools accounts at padlet.org

Logging in and out of your Padlet for Schools/Briefcase account is a bit different than a native account. Below are step-by-step instructions of how to do this using both a web browser and our mobile app.

Web browsers

  1. To log into your account, go to your school or organization's unique domain. This domain will look something like this: yourschoolhere.padlet.org.
Do not go to padlet.com to log into your Padlet for Schools/Briefcase account. You will receive an error message indicating your password is incorrect or that you cannot log into your account. Padlet.com and your unique URL ending in padlet.org are two separate domains and can get a bit confusing at times. 😉
  1. Enter your username/email and password or use the third-party SSO option set up by the Owner of the account.
  2. Click Log In.

To log out of your account, click on the name of your account in the top-right corner of the screen and click the pink Log out button.

Mobile app

  1. Open the Padlet app on your mobile device.
  2. Click Log in.
  3. Select Continue to stay logged into the account displayed (if it is your Padlet for Schools/Briefcase account) or select Switch accounts to log into a separate account (if your Padlet for Schools/Briefcase account is not displayed).
  4. On the next page, where all login options are displayed, click on the Log in here link at the bottom.
  1. Enter your subdomain in the 'Domain' field.
  1. Enter your username/email and password or use the third-party SSO option set up by the Owner of the account.
  2. Click Log In.
Contact us for assistance if you need help accessing your school's account.

To log out of your Padlet for Schools/Briefcase account, tap the three-dot ellipsis button (...) More on the bottom-right corner of your screen. Next, tap the Log out button in the top-right corner.

FAQs

Why can't I log into my Padlet for Schools account?
If your Padlet for Schools account has its own unique domain (such as thisismyschool.padlet.org), make sure you are logging in via the address that ends in padlet.org and not on padlet.com.
Why does it say "User not found?" - personal accounts
The email that you're using is not in our registry. Ensure that the email you're using is correct.
Why does it say "User not found?" - Padlet for Schools/Briefcase accounts
If your Padlet for Schools account is located at padlet.org, ensure that you are on your Padlet for Schools/Briefcase domain (ending in padlet.org) and not padlet.com. If you are on the right domain, please check with your account administrator to verify your login details.
What if I can't remember my password?
If all attempts fail, request a new password at http://padlet.com/auth/forgot. 
Why does Padlet say "Incorrect Password" or "Bad Password?"
An incorrect password was entered. If you cannot remember your password, request a new one here: http://padlet.com/auth/forgot. If problems persist, contact our friendly member services team.
Is it possible to have multiple accounts under the same email?
Yes. However, they would need to be different plan types. For example, you can have a personal account and a Team Gold account under the same email. But if you try to sign up for an account (via the Sign up button on the homepage) with the same email you will receive an error that says, "Email is taken."
