You are looking for ExpressVPN login or ExpressVPN my account because:
- you want to log in to your account/dashboard,
- you must retrieve your activation code,
- you are unable to connect to the VPN ("can't connect"),
- or you are "connected to the VPN but not to the internet."
This guide covers everything, step by step, in a simple and reliable way.
1) ExpressVPN: “connection” = 2 different things
First and foremost, it is important to distinguish between:
- Log in to your ExpressVPN account (dashboard / my account)
→ to manage your subscription, retrieve your activation code, download apps, etc. - Connect to the VPN in the app (ON button)
→ to encrypt your traffic and connect to a server (location).
2) ExpressVPN my account: how to log in (dashboard)
Log in to your account
- Go to the ExpressVPN sign-in page, then log in with the email and password associated with your subscription.
Forgot your password?
From "Manage your account," ExpressVPN offers articles on how to reset a lost password.
3) Find your ExpressVPN activation code (required on some devices)
On certain platforms (e.g., manual installation, certain TVs/devices), ExpressVPN requires an activation code.
How to find it:
- Log in to your ExpressVPN account
- Open the section related to activation.
- Copy your activation code
If your activation code has expired, ExpressVPN also explains how to generate/use a new one.
4) ExpressVPN connection in the app: install and connect (PC/Mac/iOS/Android)
The process is generally the same everywhere:
- Download the ExpressVPN app for your device (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, etc.)
- Open the app
- Log in/activate (depending on platform: login details, activation code, or link)
- Press ON to connect to the VPN
💡 To ensure you follow the correct procedure, ExpressVPN centralizes its setup guides by device (Windows, iOS, Android, Apple TV, routers, etc.).
5) ExpressVPN connection on TV/router: the most common case
A) Install ExpressVPN on your router (whole-house connection)
Installing ExpressVPN on a router protects your entire network (TV, consoles, connected devices). ExpressVPN explains:
- how to check if the router is compatible,
- installation methods,
- and what to do if your router does not support VPN (or use a dedicated router).
B) TV / specific platforms
ExpressVPN offers dedicated guides (Apple TV, Fire Stick, Android TV, etc.) via its tutorial page.
6) Common issues: ExpressVPN won't connect
Problem 1 — “Can’t connect to ExpressVPN”
ExpressVPN recommends a troubleshooting checklist, updated very recently (February 2026), with solutions such as:
- check the internet connection,
- test another server location,
- change protocol,
- update the app, etc.
Problem 2 — “VPN connected but no internet”
ExpressVPN offers specific steps, including:
- install the latest version,
- test another server,
- change protocol,
- check antivirus/exception,
- Disable proxy if necessary.
Problem 3 — "Connected to VPN but some sites/apps don't work"
There is also a dedicated guide if you cannot access certain services once logged in (possible causes: blockages, service restrictions, network settings).
7) Best practices (to avoid 80% of problems)
- Update the app before doing anything else (many problems stem from older versions).
- Try another location if one seems slow/blocked.
- Change the protocol if the connection fails (often very effective).
- If it's for streaming: keep in mind that some platforms may restrict access via VPN according to their rules (on the service side, not the VPN side).
