Your username or password doesn't work?
- Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive. Please check your spelling carefully, and watch for stray capital letters.
- Your username is not your email address. If you have a profile on TED.com account, you have a username.
- If you know you've got a username but you forgot what it was, enter your email address in this form and we will send you your correct username and password.
- If you have attended the TED conference in the past, but have not yet established an account on TED.com (launched April 2007), you don't have a username. Please use this page to transfer your old account. If you forgot the password to your old TED account, please use this form to retrieve your old password.
- Fill out this short form and we'll send your username and a new password to your email address.
- If you don't receive the email within 20 minutes, please check your spam or bulk email folder. If you still haven't received it, contact us using the form below.
- Please check to make sure you're referring to the most recent email you received from us. You may have requested a password more than once.
- Please check the spelling on both your username and your new password.
- Please don't attempt to register yourself more than once. Creating two applications will delay the processing of your registration.
- If you did not see an onscreen confirmation, use the contact form and let us know.
- We will be sending confirmations in April
