# Can't find your recipes? You may have a second account

> If your recipes seem to have disappeared, you've most likely signed in to a different account. Here's how to get back to the right one.

Take a breath — your recipes are safe. When recipes seem to have vanished, they're exactly where you left them. You've just signed in to a *different* account than the one you saved them on.

## Why this happens

Foryoueats lets you sign in four ways: **email and password**, **Google**, **Facebook**, and **Apple**. Your account is identified by its email address.

A second account is only created when the email behind your new sign-in method is **different** from the one you originally used. For example, if you signed up with `you@gmail.com` and password, then later clicked **Continue with Apple** using a Hide My Email address, that's a different email — so it creates a brand-new, empty account. Your recipes stay attached to the original account, so the new one looks empty and it feels like everything is gone.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If the email is the **same**, signing in a different way just finds your existing account — no duplicate is created. Duplicates only happen when the emails differ.

## Get back to your recipes

**1. Sign out of the empty account**

From the account that looks empty, sign out completely. This clears the way to try a different sign-in method.

**2. Sign back in with your original method**

Sign in again using the method you first signed up with. If you're not sure which one it was, try each in turn:

> **Email and password**
>
> Sign in with your email address and password.

> **Continue with Google**
>
> Use your Google account.

> **Continue with Facebook**
>
> Use your Facebook account.

> **Continue with Apple**
>
> Use your Apple ID.

**3. Check whether your recipes reappear**

Once you're signed in, look for your recipe library. If it's there — you've found your original account.

If you signed up with email and password, you can confirm that account exists by using **Forgot password** on the sign-in page: if a reset email arrives, that account is real and your recipes are waiting on it.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Going forward, make sure each sign-in method uses the **same email address**. Signing in with a method tied to a different email is what creates a second account — so when in doubt, use the same method you signed up with.
