Logging In

To log in to Stack, you’ll first need access to a registered Stack instance.

​

Step 1: Purchase a Stack Instance

If your school or organization hasn’t purchased a Stack instance yet, visit the Plans page or Contact Support to get started. Once purchased, you’ll receive:

• A custom URL for your instance (e.g. yourname.stack.events)
• A temporary admin login and password

---

​

Step 2: Open Your Instance URL

Head to your unique Stack subdomain — for example:
https://demo.stack.events or the link provided in your setup email. On the login screen:

• Enter your email address
• Use the temporary password we provided
• You’ll be prompted to reset your password after first login

If your preferred subdomain is taken, you’ll receive the closest available .stack.events link.

For Admins

Admins receive their login credentials via the welcome email. Once logged in, you’ll be able to:

• Configure your instance
• Add students and staff
• Manage dev tools, submissions, and equipment

If you’re unsure where to start, visit the Dev Tools Overview.

For Students

If you’re a student, your teacher or advisor will give you the link to your school’s Stack instance — something like https://yourprogram.stack.events. Just go to that link and:

• Enter your school email
• Enter the password you created during signup

If you haven’t signed up yet, follow the instructions in our
Signing Up Guide. If you’re having trouble logging in, you can reset your password here, or contact your advisor for help.

Forgot Your Password?

You have two options:

1. Contact Your Admin
   Ask your school’s advisor or media teacher to reset or resend your credentials.
2. Reset It Yourself
   Use the Forgot Password link on your login page and follow our
   Reset Your Password guide.
