PBLWorks doesn't use passwords. Instead, you prove it's you through Google, a one-time link sent to your email, or your school district's own sign-in. Use the same method you used when you created your account.

Sign in
Go to teach.pblworks.org.
Check the box to accept the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. The sign-in options won't work until it's checked.
Choose how to sign in:
Sign in with Google: pick your school Google account when Google asks. You'll land on your TEACH Home page.
Send me a link to sign in: enter your School or work email and click the button. Open the email from PBLWorks and click the sign-in link. Open it in the same browser you used to ask for it.
Sign in through your org: if your district has its own sign-in, choose your district from this list and sign in on your district's page. You'll only see this option if your district has set it up.
Tip: On the "Check your email" screen, click Use another method to go back and choose a different option.
Sign in from your learning management system
Some districts connect TEACH to their learning management system (LMS). If yours has, click the TEACH link in your LMS and you'll be signed in to TEACH automatically, with no separate sign-in step.
The first time, TEACH checks that your school email is on your organization's subscription. If something isn't set up yet, you'll see one of the messages in the table below. Your TEACH administrator can usually fix these.
Sign out
Click your avatar in the upper-right corner of TEACH, then click Sign out. If you signed in through your district, you're signed out of TEACH and your district's sign-in.
