Google Authentication

When you create your Blackbaud ID, you can choose to authenticate through Google. This is especially useful if your organization uses a Google domain for its email addresses. When you sign in with Google, you use Google for authentication requirements, password resets, and other support needs.

To use Google authentication with your Blackbaud ID, select Sign in with Google when you sign in and provide your Google email address.

When you sign in through Google, we recommend you:

You can turn off Google authentication at any time and sign in with Blackbaud's secure service. You can use any type of email address to sign in through Blackbaud's service, including your Google or Gmail email address. When you turn off Google authentication, you need to reset your Blackbaud ID password to meet the requirements of Blackbaud's secure service.

  1. On your Blackbaud ID profile, select Turn off Google authentication and then Send email.

  2. In your Google inbox, open the email from Blackbaud Authentication Services about your Google account and select Reset password.

  3. Enter and confirm a new Blackbaud ID password.

  4. Select Confirm and then sign in through Blackbaud's secure service.

After you sign in with Blackbaud's secure service, you can change the email address as necessary. For more information, see Personal details.
