Preparing for Your myKW Intranet Access
- A valid Keller Williams username and password are required for authentication to the portal. Your username is typically assigned when you join KW and is distinct from your @kw.com email address.
- For the best experience, it is highly recommended to access myKW using modern web browsers such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Please note that Apple Safari, including on iPhones, may experience compatibility challenges with the current secure login system.
Navigating the Keller Williams Agent Portal
- Begin by navigating your web browser to the official myKW login page at mykw.kw.com. This URL will typically redirect you to the secure access portal at access.kw.com.
- Carefully enter your unique Keller Williams username into the designated field. Remember, this is usually a combination of your first initial and last name (e.g., 'jsmith15'), not your full @kw.com email address.
- Input your confidential password into the appropriate box.
- If you encounter an older OneLogin screen, and it prompts you to install a toolbar, you can usually click 'skip' to proceed. The system now utilizes ForgeRock Access Management for its single sign-on (SSO) services.
- After successful authentication, if presented with multiple options, select 'KW Intranet' to gain full entry into the main myKW agent dashboard.

Resolving Access Challenges for Your KW Account
⚠️ Forgotten Password
Cause: The user cannot recall their password for the myKW portal.
Solution: We know being locked out of your digital portal can be stressful. If you've forgotten your password, navigate to the password reset link, typically https://secure.kw.com/sso/getUser.action. You will need your designated KW Password Recovery Email on file to receive a security code. Ensure your new password adheres to complexity rules: it must be at least 12 characters, include uppercase and lowercase letters, a number, and a symbol, and cannot be similar to your last four passwords.
⚠️ Incorrect Username
Cause: The user is attempting to log in with an incorrect username format, possibly their @kw.com email.
Solution: Your myKW username is usually formatted as your first initial and last name, potentially with a number (e.g., 'jsmith15'), and is distinct from your @kw.com email address. If you're unsure of your correct username, your Market Center Administrator (MCA) can look it up for you in the KW Whitepages.
⚠️ Browser Compatibility Issues
Cause: The user is experiencing login or display problems when using certain web browsers.
Solution: For optimal performance and to avoid login issues, particularly with the secure single sign-on system, we highly recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Apple Safari users, even on iPhones, may encounter compatibility challenges due to the current access management system.
⚠️ Invalid SAML Response Error
Cause: A technical error message appears, preventing portal access.
Solution: If you see an 'Invalid SAML Response' error message, simply retype 'mykw.kw.com' directly into your browser's address bar. This often resolves the issue and allows you to proceed with accessing the portal.
⚠️ Expired Security Code
Cause: The security code for password reset has passed its validity period.
Solution: Security codes sent for password resets are active for a limited time, usually 15 minutes. If your code has expired, or if you encounter an error during verification, request a new code. For the smoothest experience, open a new Chrome Incognito window, navigate to the password reset page, and copy-paste the new code immediately.
Ensuring the Security of Your KW Agent Information
- 🔒 Always create robust and unique passwords for your myKW account. These should be at least 12 characters long, combining uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid predictable phrases or personal information.
- 🔒 Regularly verify and update your designated KW Password Recovery Email within your KW Profile. This email address is critical for securely resetting your password if you ever forget it.
- 🔒 Be aware that for your protection, your myKW session may automatically expire after a period of inactivity. Always log out when you've finished your work, especially on shared computers, and be prepared to re-authenticate if your session times out.
- 🔒 Ensure you are always accessing the portal through the official mykw.kw.com or access.kw.com URLs to prevent phishing attempts and maintain the security of your agent information.

Q: Why am I unable to use my @kw.com email address to log into myKW?
The myKW portal transitioned its authentication system from OneLogin to ForgeRock Access Management, which changed the primary login credential. As a result, agents are required to use their specific KW-assigned username rather than their @kw.com email address for portal authentication.

For the most reliable and efficient experience when accessing the myKW portal, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are the recommended web browsers.
