How to log in to your website with eCatholic ID

What is eCatholic ID?

Your eCatholic ID is a single eCatholic account, used only by you, which gives you access to your eCatholic website. It incorporates 2FA to ensure your account is secure by today's standards.

An eCatholic ID uses:

  1. Email
  2. Password
  3. One-time code sent via text message or authenticator app
    • The one-time code can be skipped for 30 days by choosing "Remember this device"

Your eCatholic ID replaces your legacy website login, if you had a user account on an eCatholic website prior to January 2025.

How do I log in with my eCatholic ID?

First, navigate to your website. Then, scroll to the very bottom of your website and click the "Login" link, next to "powered by eCatholic":

  1. Open your site.
  2. Click on the Login link in the footer of your site near the "powered by eCatholic" line.
  3. The next screen asks for your email address; enter your address.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Enter your password.
  6. Click Next.
  7. You may be prompted for 2 Factor Authentication. Enter the code provided in a text or from the authenticator app.
    1. You might also check the box to Remember this device to bypass 2FA for 30 days.
  8. Click Submit.

What email address should my eCatholic ID use? When creating your eCatholic ID, use the same email address currently attached to your website user account, or at which you received your invitation to edit the website. Otherwise, your eCatholic ID will not be able to access your website permissions.

What if I have never logged in before?

If you are a new administrator, publisher, or author on your eCatholic website, you will receive an email notifying you of your username and a password creation link. 

If you created a password that you can no longer remember, you can follow the login steps above, then select "Reset Password" at the bottom of the login screen. From there, you will enter your username:

Follow the instructions in your email to reset your password!   

What do I do if I don't know my password?

Because passwords are encrypted upon creation, we are not able to retrieve forgotten passwords! You can reset your password using the above steps.
