Can't sign in

  • "Please check your email and password": check for typos, or reset your password with Forgot your password? on the login page.

  • Just signed up? Confirm your email first by clicking the link in the confirmation email. Check spam if you can't find it.

  • Signed up with Google? Use the Google option. To sign in with a password too, add one in Settings → Profile once you're in.

  • CAPTCHA: complete the verification check before signing in.

  • Reset link not working? Links work once and expire after 60 minutes. Request a new one.

"Your session has expired"

Refresh the page and sign in again.

Blank page, errors or old version

  • If you see "A new version of Citera is available", refresh to load the latest version.

  • Hard-refresh the page, or try a private window to rule out extensions.

  • Allow cookies for app.citeralabs.ai. Blocking strictly necessary cookies can stop sign-in from working.

  • Try another up-to-date browser.

Using a phone

The Citera app is designed for desktop and tablet. A mobile view isn't available yet, so use a larger screen for the best experience.

"Your account isn't active yet" or a locked screen

See I'm redirected to the pricing page or my account is locked.

Check service status

Use the Status link in the footer of citeralabs.ai to see whether there's a known issue.
