Signing in to Pluralsight

  • Updated

    • This article explains how to sign in using a web browser, whether you signed up with an email and password or you’re part of an organization that uses single sign-on (SSO).

    Sign-in options

    Choose the sign-in option that matches how your Pluralsight account is configured. The follow the steps for that option below.

    • To sign in using an email address and password:

      1. Open the Pluralsight sign-in page.

        -OR-

        If you were originally an A Cloud Guru (ACG) user, click Sign in using your A Cloud Guru credentials instead.
      2. Enter the email address or username and password associated with your account.
      3. Click Sign in.

      If you’ve forgotten your password, click Forgot password? and we’ll send you an email to reset it. See Resetting or updating your password for details.

      Tip: If you created your ACG account using credentials from a social media account or other third party (e.g., Google), go to the ACG sign-in page (opens in new tab), click Sign in with social media account, choose your provider, and complete authentication if prompted.

      If you have multi-factor authentication (MFA) set up, you’ll be prompted to enter a verification code before you’re signed in to Pluralsight.

    • Some organizations use single sign-on (SSO), which lets you sign in to Pluralsight through your company’s app catalog or SSO URL instead of entering an email and password.

      First time sign-in with SSO

      The first time you sign in using SSO, you may need to create or link your account.

      New to Pluralsight

      1. Open Pluralsight from your organization’s app catalog or SSO URL (for example: app.pluralsight.com/sso/organizationname).
      2. Sign in with your organization’s identity provider.
      3. Review the pre-filled information, agree to the terms, and click Create account.

        4. You’ll be signed in and taken to the home page.

      Existing Pluralsight user

      1. Navigate to Pluralsight from your organization’s app catalog or SSO URL.
      2. If your account email matches your organization’s SSO email, you’ll be signed in automatically.
      3. If the emails don’t match, you’ll see an account creation page. Click Sign in under Already have an account?.
      4. Enter your existing Pluralsight username/email and password to link your account to your organization’s SSO.

      Important: This one-time linking step is critical if you want to link your existing account to your organization’s SSO. After linking, you’ll always sign in using SSO. If your organization disables passwords later, attempting to sign in with a username/password will show an error indicating your password is disabled.

      Once your account is linked, you’ll be signed in and taken to the home page.

      SSO without autoprovisioning

      Some plans require an admin invite before you can sign in.

      To join the plan:

      1. Check your email for an invitation to Pluralsight. If you don’t see one, check your spam filter and adjust your filters.
      2. Click Accept invite in the email.
      3. On the account creation page that appears, either sign in with an existing account or fill out the information to create a new account.

        4. Important:

        • The Company email field will be pre-populated with your email address. You cannot change the email address in this field.
        • Steps may differ for learners who already have a Pluralsight account but are not yet tied to the plan. Follow the instructions in Accepting a team plan invite.
        • Some users may be prompted to set a password during invite redemption. On plans that disable passwords, this password will not be used, and signing in with it will show a “password disabled” message.

      Good to go SSO

      Once your account is set up, you can sign in to Pluralsight using any SSO entry point:

      From your organization

      • Use your organization’s app catalog or SSO URL (e.g., app.pluralsight.com/sso/organizationname).
      • If you open a specific course, path, or channel using an SSO link, you’ll go directly to that content after authentication.

      From Pluralsight

      1. Go to the Pluralsight sign-in page (opens in new tab).
      2. Click Sign in with company or school (SSO).
