What are the 3rd party sign-in options I can use?
You can choose Google, Apple, or Microsoft as a 3rd party sign-in option.
Am I required to use a 3rd party option?
No. 3rd party sign-in options are just that, options.
Why would I want to use a 3rd party option rather than creating a Trimble Account?
Trimble offers 3rd party sign-in options as a way to help you sign in using a method that best works for you.
3rd party sign in services allow you to sync your password with those services and use their multi-factor authentication services. If you don't want to worry about keeping track of multiple login credentials, using 3rd party sign-in services can help.
If you would rather have a unique password and multi-factor authentication method for your Trimble account, creating a Trimble ID might be a better option.
Will Trimble know my password if I use a 3rd party sign-in option?
No. Our 3rd party partners do not share password information with Trimble.
I login using a 3rd party option. How do I change my password?
Passwords are connected to the 3rd party option you chose. If you would like to change that password, follow the instructions provided by that service:
My password for my 3rd Party sign-in option isn't working.
Your password is tied to the option you chose to use when creating your Trimble ID. Make sure you use the password for the service you're using to sign in.
I'm using my Apple account to login to SketchUp. What happens when I enable the Turn Off Email Forwarding or Hide My Email features?
Apple's Turn Off Email Forwarding and Hide My Email features change the email address you share with the world, using an anonymized address instead. If those features are enabled when creating a Trimble account, they must be enabled each time you login. If you disable those features later it will prevent you from signing in and you will not have access to any of your files or purchases.
I have a Classic License for an unsupported version of SketchUp. Why can't I use a 3rd party option with my Trimble ID?
All 3rd party options require browser-based sign-in. Leveraging a web browser for the sign-in process provides an extra layer of security against malicious application developers. Versions of SketchUp older than 2019.2 do not leverage a web browser when signing in. The lack of browser-based sign-in in older versions of SketchUp is seen as a security risk and our 3rd party partners no longer allow users to sign in on outdated applications.
