Sign in with Google Using Your Existing Email

Having trouble logging in? If your TradePoint account uses a non-Gmail email address (Yahoo, Outlook, company email, etc.) and you're trying to use the "Sign in with Google" button, you'll need to set up a Google Account with your existing email first.

Google allows you to create a Google Account using any email address - not just Gmail.

Why This Is Needed​

TradePoint uses Google Sign-In for authentication. If your account email is yourname@yahoo.com or yourname@company.com, you need to link that email to a Google Account before you can log in.

Step 1: Create a Google Account with Your Existing Email​

This is a one-time setup that takes just a few minutes.

  1. Go to the Google Account sign-up page: accounts.google.com/signup

  2. Enter your First name and Last name

  3. Important: When asked for an email address, click the link that says "Use your existing email"

    Use your existing email option

  4. Enter your existing email address (e.g., yourname@yahoo.com or yourname@outlook.com)

  5. Create a password for your new Google Account

  6. Google will send a verification code to your email inbox. Check your email and enter the code to confirm

  7. Complete any remaining setup steps Google presents

Your existing email is now linked to a Google Account!

Step 2: Sign in to TradePoint​

Now you can use the "Sign in with Google" button on TradePoint:

  1. Go to the TradePoint login page

  2. Click "Sign in with Google"

  3. Enter your existing email address (the one you registered in Step 1)

  4. Enter the password you created for your Google Account

  5. You're now logged in!

Tips for Security​

  • Enable Two-Factor Authentication on your Google Account for extra protection
  • Keep your Google Account password secure and unique
  • If you lose access to your email, you may need to use Google's account recovery options

Frequently Asked Questions​

Q: I'm clicking "Sign in with Google" but it's not working. Why? A: If your TradePoint account uses a non-Gmail email (like Yahoo or Outlook), you must first create a Google Account linked to that email address by following Step 1 above.

Q: Will this create a new Gmail inbox? A: No. Your existing email remains your primary inbox. You're simply creating a Google Account that uses your existing email address for sign-in purposes.

Q: Can I use my work email? A: Yes, as long as you can receive verification emails at that address and that's the email registered with TradePoint.

Q: What if I already have a Gmail account? A: You need to use the email address that was registered with your TradePoint account. If that's a non-Gmail address, follow the steps above to link it to a Google Account.

Q: I forgot my Google Account password. What do I do? A: Visit accounts.google.com/signin/recovery to reset your password.
