Troubleshooting login problems on ShopBroker

Written by Austin Headley

Trouble Logging In?

Don't worry - we'll get you sorted. Let's figure out what's happening and get you back into your account.

Sign-In Options

ShopBroker offers two ways to sign in:

  • Continue with Google - Instant access using your Google account

  • Email + password - Sign in with the password you created when you registered

If one method isn't working, try the other.

Common Issues

"Email Not Found"

Possible causes:

  • You haven't created an account yet

  • You used a different email to sign up

  • You signed up with Google (try that option instead)

  • Typo in the email address

Solutions:

Try "Continue with Google" if you originally signed up that way

Double-check the email spelling

Try other email addresses you use

Check if you ever received a confirmation email (search inbox)

Create a new account if you never signed up

"Forgot My Password"

It happens! Here's how to get back in:

Solutions:

On the sign-in page, tap "Need help signing in?"

Enter your email address

Check your inbox for a secure reset link

Click the link and create a new password

You're back in!

Can't find the email? Check your spam folder, or try "Continue with Google" if you originally signed up that way.

"Verification Link Expired"

Verification links are only active for a short time to keep your account secure.

Solutions:

On the expired link page, enter your email address

Tap "Send new link"

Check your inbox for a fresh verification email

Click the new link right away

Tip: If you clicked an old link from your inbox, look for a newer email from ShopBroker.

"Wrong Password"

Possible causes:

  • Typo when entering

  • Caps lock is on

  • Using an old password

Solutions:

Double-check your typing

Tap "Need help signing in?" to reset it

Try "Continue with Google" if you originally signed up that way

"Email Not Verified Yet"

If you see this message, your email address hasn't been confirmed yet.

Solutions:

Check your inbox (and spam folder) for the original verification email

If you can't find it, we'll show you an option to resend it

Click "Resend verification link" and check your inbox

Click the new link to verify your email

Then sign in with your password

Google Sign-In Issues

"Google Sign-In Cancelled"

If Google sign-in gets interrupted:

Try again. Sometimes it's just a network hiccup.

Make sure pop-ups aren't blocked

Try a different browser

Use email verification instead

"Wrong Google Account"

If you accidentally used the wrong Google account:

Sign out of ShopBroker

Go to accounts.google.com and switch to the correct account

Return to ShopBroker and try "Continue with Google" again

Google Account Not Working

If you can't access your Google account:

Recover your Google account at accounts.google.com

Or try email verification with the same email address

Contact support if you need to change your sign-in method

Checking Your Email

Where Emails Come From

Look for emails from:

Search Terms

Search your inbox for:

  • "ShopBroker"

  • "Verify your email"

  • "Reset your password"

  • "Verification link"

Check All Folders

  • Inbox

  • Spam/Junk

  • Promotions (Gmail)

  • Other/Focused (Outlook)

Browser Issues

Try These Steps

Clear browser cache and cookies

Try incognito/private mode

Use a different browser

Disable browser extensions

Try on a different device

In-App Browser Issues

If you're trying to sign in from a link inside Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or another app:

  • Google sign-in may not work. In-app browsers sometimes block OAuth popups.

  • Solution: Tap the three dots (or share icon) and choose "Open in Browser" to use your default browser instead

  • This applies to any link opened from inside a social media app

Mobile App Issues

If using a mobile browser:

  • Try desktop mode

  • Clear app cache

  • Update your browser app

  • Switch to another browser app

  • You may have used a different email

  • Check receipts for what email was used

  • Try variations of your email

FAQ

Do I need a password?

It depends on how you signed up:

  • Google sign-in: No password needed - just tap "Continue with Google"

  • Email sign-up: Yes, you created a password when you registered

Can I switch between Google and email sign-in?

Yes! Both methods work with the same account, as long as you use the same email address. If you signed up with Google, you can also set a password later in your account settings.

I forgot my password - what now?

No problem! Tap "Need help signing in?" on the sign-in page, and we'll send you a secure reset link. Click the link, create a new password, and you're back in.

I have 2FA enabled and can't complete login

If you have two-factor authentication enabled, make sure to complete the full authentication flow including your verification code. If you're having trouble with the 2FA step, try using one of your backup codes. See our Two-Factor Authentication guide for more details.

Can I stay signed in?

Yes. On the ShopBroker mobile app, your session stays active across visits for a long stretch of time. On the web, you'll be asked to sign in again periodically for security. If your session ends, you'll see a "Your session has ended" message and can sign right back in.

Can I use Face ID or Touch ID with Google sign-in?

Yes. After your first Google sign-in on the mobile app, ShopBroker will offer to enable biometric login. Tap allow, and you can unlock the app with your face or fingerprint on every visit after that. No more picking your Google account each time.

What if I'm still stuck?

Contact our support team. We'll verify your identity and help you regain access.

Still Stuck?

We're here to help. Reach out to our support team with details about what you've tried, and we'll work together to get you back in.
