If you don’t have a link yet, ask your IT or workspace administrator for your organization’s Rocket.Chat URL. You can use this link to access the workspace via a browser, desktop, or mobile app. **Web browser** 1. Open one of the supported [web browsers](/v1/docs/minimum-requirements-for-client-apps). 2. Enter the workspace URL in the browser's address bar, such as `https://open.rocket.chat`. 3. After entering a valid Rocket.Chat workspace address, the login page is displayed. Enter your credentials to log in or click **Create an account** to register as a workspace member. **Desktop app** After you [download and install](/v1/docs/desktop-mobile-apps) the Rocket.Chat desktop app for your operating system, connect it to your Rocket.Chat workspace. ## Connect your workspace 1. Open the Rocket.Chat desktop app. 2. Enter your workspace server URL when prompted. 3. Click **Connect**. 4. On the login page, sign in with your existing credentials. If you don't have an account, click **Create an account** to register as a workspace member. By default, connected workspaces appear as tabs at the top of the application, allowing you to switch between them. You can change this layout to a sidebar list or a title bar list in the [Desktop App Configuration settings](/v1/docs/configure-desktop-app-settings). ## Connect additional workspaces When using a Rocket.Chat desktop application, you can connect to multiple Rocket.Chat workspaces. To add another workspace: 1. Click the ![Plus icon](https://cdn.us.document360.io/6ae79a05-7252-45d0-96e8-8f375e07b1b2/Images/Documentation/image-1774998976682.png) **plus icon** next to the current workspace tab. 2. Enter the server URL for the workspace you want to connect to. 3. Click **Connect.** 4. Follow the prompts to sign in or create a new account. You can switch between connected workspaces using the tabs, sidebar, or title bar, depending on your selected layout. ## Manage connected workspaces Each connected workspace has a context menu with workspace-specific options. To view these options, right-click the workspace from the sidebar, title bar, or tab. Alternatively, use *Shift+F10*. The following options are available: | Option | Description | | --- | --- | | Reload | Refreshes the selected workspace without affecting other connected workspaces. | | Force Reload | Clears the workspace cache and reloads the entire workspace. You’ll be prompted to choose to either keep or delete your current login session. If you delete the session, you’ll be signed out and must sign in again with your credentials to access your workspace. | | Copy URL | Copies the URL of the current page in the workspace. | | Mute workspace | Mutes or unmutes audio playing from the selected workspace. | | Open DevTools | Opens the browser developer tools for the selected workspace. | | Server Info | Displays information about the connected server, including its version, URL, and supported versions. This option is available only when Help > Developer mode is enabled from the menu bar. | | Remove | Disconnects and removes the workspace from the desktop app. To access it again, you must add the workspace and sign in again. | | Add workspace | Connect an additional Rocket.Chat workspace. | **Mobile app** 1.

Enter a valid workspace address and click **Connect**. 5. After entering a valid Rocket.Chat workspace address, click **Login**. 6.

Click **Connect** to log in to the workspace using your credentials. > [!NOTE] > If you don’t have a Rocket.Chat workspace yet, refer to the [Deployment documentation](/v1/docs/deploy-rocketchat) to learn about your options. ## Login options According to your workspace configuration, you can log in in one of the following ways: - Using email address or username with password. - Using SSO to log in with third-party credentials, such as Google or Microsoft. - Additionally, you may need to enter 2FA codes while logging in using apps like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. ## Register an account If you don’t have an account set up, you can register as a user in one of the following ways: - **Manual registration**: Provide your name, email, username, and password, and confirm the password. Some workspaces may require email verification. The registration credentials may vary based on the workspace configurations. Contact your workspace administrator if you're unsure of how to register your account. - **OAuth registration**: If your workspace has enabled OAuth services (such as GitHub or Google), you can use your account from those supported services to register and access the workspace. Once you have completed a successful registration, proceed to select a unique username. > [!NOTE] > Your username serves as a unique identifier for others to direct message or mention you within the workspace. It differs from your display name and must be unique within the workspace, while display names can be duplicated. ## Reset your password If you have forgotten your password, click **Forgot your password?** and enter the email address associated with your account. You will receive further instructions in your email inbox. Alternatively, contact your workspace administrator for assistance. If you want to change your current password, follow these steps: 1. Log in to your workspace using your credentials. 2. Click your user icon and select **Profile** from the drop-down menu. 3. Enter the new password in the **New password** and **Confirm password** fields. 4. Click **Save changes**. Now you can log in with your new password. Note that your administrator may have disabled the option to change passwords. In that case, you must contact your administrator.
