How do I create a My Alteryx account?
- Start by either navigating to myalteryx.com or community.alteryx.com and selecting Sign In in the upper right. Both will direct you to the My Alteryx SSO page.
- Select Register Here. You’ll be prompted to enter your email address and send a verification code. You should receive an email from no-reply@myalteryx.alteryx.com that looks like this.
Pro tip: Use your business email. This allows you to easily access other Alteryx applications. If you leave your company and no longer have access to that email, you can recover your account via MFA.
- After verifying your email, you’ll be prompted to create a Community username, enter your personal details, and create a password. Click Create.
- Select and answer security questions. Should you lose access to your email, this will allow you to recover your account.
Voilà - You have created a My Alteryx account!
What is MFA (multi-factor authentication) and how do I use it?
MFA is a security feature that protects against compromised credentials. My Alteryx requires users to enter a valid email address and password and then confirm that they own a device associated with the account they are trying to access. My Alteryx utilizes phone and email as options for MFA.
Should you lose access to your account, you can recover it by correctly answering the security questions you set up during the account creation process.
How can I regain access to my Community account?
- Navigate to myalteryx.com and click Sign In in the upper right. Select Recover Account.
- Enter the email address of the account you’d like to recover.
- Enter the responses to the security questions that you answered when creating your account.
Enter the email address you’d like associated with your My Alteryx account. Note that changing the email associated with your account will result in a loss of access to all applications except Alteryx Community.
Updating Phone-Based Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
If you created a My Alteryx account after June 26, 2024 you will be required to use security questions for MFA. However, if you are still utilizing a phone number to MFA, follow these steps to update the number.
- Log into My Alteryx.
- Click your profile icon in the upper right and select Preference Center.
- Click the Change button next to MFA Phone Number.
- You will be prompted to verify your account. Next, enter the updated phone number. Once again, you’ll need to verify your phone number.
- After verifying your new phone number, the process is complete.
How do I change the email associated with my My Alteryx and Community account?
Before changing your email, keep in mind that many Alteryx applications rely on your email address to validate access. Changing your email will require you to re-establish access to these applications by verifying a valid License Key. This is not the case for Alteryx Community – your Community account and it’s details will stay with you after you change your email.
Follow the steps below to update your email:
- Navigate to your My Alteryx profile, click on your profile in the upper right and select Preference Center.
- Click the link to Change Email. You’ll see the disclaimer about losing access to Alteryx applications at the bottom of the profile page.
How do I change my Community username?
- Navigate to https://my.alteryx.com/, click your profile icon in the upper right, and select Preference Center.
- Click the Edit button next to My Profile. Next, you’ll be prompted to update your profile details.
How do I delete my Community profile?
Your Community profile is tied to your My Alteryx account. If you wish to close your Community profile, you will need to follow the below steps to close your My Alteryx account.
- Navigate to my.alteryx.com, or click on the My Alteryx Settings from the Community dropdown.
- When at my.alteryx.com, choose the option Delete Account.
- Complete the multi-factor authentication (MFA) to confirm account ownership.
- Re-enter your email address. At this step you will be notified that the process is IRREVERSIBLE, we cannot reinstate access to your My Alteryx account once you choose to delete.
- Click on Delete Account.
After completing these steps, you will have deleted both your My Alteryx account and the Community profile associated with it.
I’m not receiving emails from My Alteryx. How do I fix this?
My Alteryx will send you various emails from no-reply@myalteryx.alteryx.com related to password updates, MFA, or profile changes. If you experience issues receiving these emails, it is likely due to your inbox rules or company email policy. Please take the following steps:
- Search for emails from 'no-reply@myalteryx.alteryx.com.' If you find the emails in a different folder, add 'no-reply@myalteryx.alteryx.com' as an approved sender or create an inbox rule.
- If you receive these emails after delays or cannot find them at all, please ask your IT team to whitelist 'no-reply@myalteryx.alteryx.com.'
- If neither of these steps fix the issue, please submit a Customer Support case through MyAlteryx.

If I select "Continue Registration", registration process will start from scratch or if I select "Exit", Alteryx will close with this pop-up and I have start registration process from scratch again. I also tried to cancel this pop-up but unable to do so.
Please suggest solution for same.
