Access an account

Meetup is always looking out for the security of our members. If we detect an unusual sign-in attempt, we’ll send a verification code to the email address connected to your Meetup account.
What if I didn't get the verification code?
Check the spam or junk mail folder of your email client for a message with the subject line, Your one-time passcode. If you still haven't found your verification code, add info@meetup.com to your address book to ensure you receive our messages. Then request the code again.
Once you receive your code, try copying and pasting it into your browser, rather than typing it into the field.
If you’ve tried these steps and are still having trouble, contact us.

Please protect your account with a strong password.
Your password should:
- Contain at least ten characters
- Be unique to Meetup and not shared with any other account
- Not be a password that was previously compromised
You can review previously compromised passwords here.
Tips for creating strong passwords
While creating a password, we also suggest that you:

- Use a password manager (such as LastPass) to generate your password
- Avoid including personal information in your password
- Never store your password in plaintext (or leave it out on a sticky note)
- Never share your password
If someone asks for your password, do not reply and let us know immediately.
