What is my Polestar ID (username)?

Error message when logging in

  • Login is taking too long – if it takes more than 5 minutes for you to fill in your login information, login will be canceled for security reasons. If this happens, tap Cancel and start the login process again. If the problem persists, try restarting the phone.
  • Managing cookies – if cookies are blocked in your browser, you may have problems logging in. Try allowing cookies in your browser and then try logging in again.

Login error after changing Polestar ID (username)

Make sure you have received a confirmation email or text message and confirmed your new username. When this has been done, you should be able to log in using the new username. If you did not receive the confirmation message (email or text message), your old username will remain. Log in and try again to change your username.

Login error after changing password

Try logging in with your previous password. If this doesn't work, try to reset your password.

Account registered to another market

An account is registered to a specific market and cannot be moved to a different market. To be able to reuse the same username (email address or cell phone number), we advise you to first delete your account for the old market and then create a new account for the new market.

Email error

If you did not receive a confirmation message after registration, check that you provided a valid email address and that the message was not stopped by a junk mail filter. Try to register your email address again.
