Login Change
jcp.org now uses Oracle's Single Sign-On (SSO) to log in to the site. Note that the login ID is your e-mail address; the old JCP userIDs are no longer used.

Existing jcp.org users: you should click the "Sign In" button on the left to login using your SSO credentials. If you do not have an SSO login, you will be asked to create one. When creating an SSO login, make sure to use the same e-mail address as used in your JCP account! If you are unsure which e-mail address you've used before, or if you run into other problems with logging in, contact admin@jcp.org.

New to jcp.org? Click "Register for site" on the left and follow the directions; you will be taken to create an SSO login on Oracle's profile page and then may login to jcp.org once the account is created and verified.

For more detailed information, refer to our SSO FAQ list.
