You can use your existing Google or Apple account to create a Pocket Casts account by choosing either "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Apple" when logging in.
Adding a password to an account created with “Continue With Google” or “Continue With Apple”
If your account was created either with “Continue with Google” or “Continue with Apple,” you may run into some Pocket Casts integrations that ask you for an account password. You can set an account password by entering your email address into our “Forgot password?” form.
Do note that if you’re using Apple’s Private Relay email service, you’ll want to ensure you’re entering your Private Relay email.
Changing the email address on an account created with “Continue With Google” or “Continue With Apple”
If your account was created either with “Continue with Google” or “Continue with Apple,” you can follow these steps to change your account email address:
- Set an account password by entering your email address into our “Forgot password?” form.
- After you’ve set an account password, log out of the app.
- Log back in using the “Login” button and not “Continue with Google” or “Continue with Apple.”
- Sign in with your email address and password.
- Change your account email address from Profile > Account > Change email address.
After following the above steps successfully, please remember to keep logging in to Pocket Casts with the “Login” button instead of “Continue with Google” or “Continue with Apple.” This way, we can prevent a new sync account from being created for you, especially if you might be using Apple’s Private Relay email service.
