Strava is changing how you log in – here’s what you need to know

February 13, 2026

Strava will begin to end its support for Facebook login, starting from 16 March, which means you’ll have to change how you log in if you use this method.

The fitness and cycling app is moving away from Facebook in another way. It will no longer make friend suggestions based on your Facebook connections. Instead, you will have to use Strava’s own ‘in-app friend search’ to connect with other people.

Your current connections, activity history and profile will stay the same.

If you use Facebook login to access Strava, you will need to confirm or update your email address in your Strava account settings to keep access to your account. Strava says this will also ensure faster account recovery if you ever need it.

If you’re unsure which email address is connected with your Strava account, it will be the email you had set on your Facebook account when you signed up for Strava.

“You can log in to Facebook to check which email address may be connected,” Strava says. If you’ve changed or lost access to that email since signing up for Strava, you can visit Strava’s help centre for support.

After 16 March, you will be able to log in to Strava using one of the following methods:

• Your email and password
• A one-time code sent to your email
• Sign-in with Google if you use Gmail

Strava said it was dropping Facebook login via an email sent to users on Friday, but it didn’t say why it’s moving away from Meta. Bike Radar
