I can't log in and get a message that an account already exists
If you receive the message ‘No user found with that email address,’ but aren’t permitted to create an account because ‘This email address already has a Patreon account’ it typically means that you’ve requested your account be disabled in the past.

If you’re still encountering issues with your 2-factor codes not being accepted, or not being received, scroll all the way down to click the "Email Patreon Support" button below.
Did you create your Patreon account with Google, Facebook, or Apple ID?
READ: If you cannot remember which email address you used for your Patreon account, we have instructions outlined in this article. To find these instructions, click this link to bring you to the section entitled "Forgot your login email address?". Clicking the "continue with Google" button if you did not create your account with Google, may result in creating a new account.
If you’ve created your account with Google sign on you can continue logging into Patreon web and the app with Google sign on.
If you created your account with your email and password, you can use Google sign on if you have a Google account.
The same goes for if you have created your account using the Facebook or AppleID option.
When you first connect your Google account to Patreon for Google login, you may receive a request to update your password. This is strictly a security measure, and should only happen if you don't yet have Two-Factor Authentication enabled for your account. For detailed instructions,
