Understanding Kroger Email Accounts
Before we jump into the "how-to," it's important to differentiate between the various types of "Kroger email" you might be trying to access. Kroger utilizes different platforms for different purposes:
Kroger Associate Email: This is typically for active Kroger employees (salaried management and some hourly associates) to receive internal communications, schedules, benefits information, and other work-related updates. Access usually involves specific internal portals.
Kroger Digital Account (Customer Email): This is the email associated with your Kroger.com profile, Shopper's Card, and digital coupons. It's for customer-facing communications, personalized offers, and managing your shopping experience.
Kroger Partner/Vendor Email: For external partners and vendors, access to specific Kroger portals (like Partner Pass) is granted, which often involves an associated email for login and communication.
This guide will primarily focus on associate email access and customer digital account access, as these are the most common inquiries.
Step 1: Identify Your Kroger Email Type – Are You a Kroger Employee or a Valued Customer?
This is the absolute first question you need to ask yourself. The steps you take next will depend entirely on whether you're trying to access your work email as a Kroger associate or your personal email linked to your customer profile.
If you are a Kroger employee (current associate) trying to access your work email: Proceed to Step 2: Accessing Your Kroger Associate Email.
If you are a Kroger customer trying to access the email linked to your Kroger.com account/Shopper's Card: Skip to Step 3: Accessing Your Kroger Customer Digital Account Email.

Step 2: Accessing Your Kroger Associate Email (For Current Employees)
Accessing your Kroger associate email typically involves a secure internal web portal. Please note that generally, only salaried management and some hourly management associates have direct access to a corporate email account. If you are an hourly associate and believe you should have email access, it's best to consult your store leadership or HR.
Sub-heading 2.1: The Primary Portal for Associates – SecureWEB or MyLife@Kroger
The main gateway for Kroger associates to access various internal resources, including email, is usually through a dedicated portal.
Navigate to the SecureWEB Login Page: Open your web browser and go to the official Kroger SecureWEB login page. This is often
secureweb.kroger.com/SecureWEB/kswloginext.fccor a similar internal address.Important Note: For security reasons, some internal Kroger resources, including email, might be best accessed from a company-provided device or through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) if working remotely. Always check with your IT department or manager regarding remote access policies.
Enter Your Enterprise User ID and Password: You will be prompted to enter your Enterprise User ID (this is usually your employee ID or a specific username provided by Kroger) and your password.
Make sure you are entering the correct credentials. These are distinct from your customer digital account login.
Accept the Company's Information Security Policy: Before proceeding, you will likely see a corporate information security policy. Read it carefully and click "I AGREE" to continue.
Locate Your Email Access: Once successfully logged into SecureWEB, you will typically find links or icons leading to your email client (often Outlook Web App, as Kroger uses Microsoft 365 services for many internal operations). Look for terms like "Outlook," "Mail," or "Webmail."
Sub-heading 2.2: Alternate Access Points and Mobile Devices
While SecureWEB is the primary method, some associates might have alternative ways to access their email, especially for mobile devices.
MyLife@Kroger: This portal (
www.mylifeatkroger.com/) is primarily for benefits and HR information, but it might have links or guidance on email access for certain associate types.Mobile App Configuration: For salaried management, it may be possible to configure your Kroger email on your smartphone's native mail app (e.g., Outlook app, iPhone Mail app, Android Mail app).
Crucial Warning: Before adding your work email to a personal device, be aware of Kroger's mobile device policies. Some companies have the right to inspect or even wipe data from personal devices if corporate information is stored on them. Always consult with your IT department or refer to internal documentation like "Kroger Associate Connect" (if available for your role) for instructions and policy details. You'll likely need specific server details and your Enterprise User ID and password.
It's often recommended to use the dedicated Outlook app for a more secure and controlled experience if available for your device.
Sub-heading 2.3: Troubleshooting Associate Email Access
Forgot Password? If you've forgotten your Enterprise User ID password, you'll typically need to go through an internal password reset process. This often involves contacting your store's IT support, division administration, or using a self-service password reset tool provided by Kroger IT. Do not attempt to use the customer digital account password reset for your associate email.
Login Issues: Double-check your Enterprise User ID and password for typos. Ensure your CAPS LOCK is off.
No Access / Error Messages: If you're an hourly associate and can't access email, it's likely you don't have direct email access as part of your role. Consult your leadership. If you're salaried and encountering errors, contact Kroger IT support immediately.
Step 3: Accessing Your Kroger Customer Digital Account Email (For Shoppers)
If you're a Kroger customer, the email you're likely thinking of is associated with your Kroger.com digital account. This is where you receive personalized offers, digital coupons, order confirmations, and other customer communications.
Sub-heading 3.1: The Kroger.com Website – Your Digital Hub
This is the most common and straightforward way to access and manage your Kroger customer email communications.
Go to Kroger.com: Open your web browser and navigate to the official Kroger website:
www.kroger.com.Locate the "Sign In" Option: On the Kroger.com homepage, look for the "Sign In" or "My Account" option, usually located in the top right corner of the page. Click on it.
Enter Your Digital Account Credentials: You will be prompted to enter your email address (the one you used to create your Kroger digital account) and your password.
If you haven't created a digital account yet, you'll need to select "Create an Account" and follow the registration steps. You'll typically link your Shopper's Card during this process.
Access Your Account Dashboard: After successfully signing in, you will be directed to your personal account dashboard. From here, you can:
Manage Communications: Look for a section like "Communications," "Preferences," or "Account Settings." Here, you can update your email preferences, choose the types of emails you want to receive, or unsubscribe from certain communications.
View Digital Coupons: Access your clipped digital coupons.
Review Order History: See past online orders.
Update Profile Information: Change your linked Shopper's Card, address, or other personal details.
Sub-heading 3.2: The Kroger Mobile App – Convenience on the Go
The Kroger mobile app offers a convenient way to manage your digital account and access email-related functionalities directly from your smartphone.
Download the Kroger App: If you haven't already, download the official Kroger app from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS).
Open and Sign In: Launch the app and sign in using the same email address and password as your Kroger.com digital account.
Navigate to Account Settings/Preferences: Within the app, you'll typically find a "Profile" or "Account" section (often represented by a person icon or a menu icon). Tap on this to access your account settings.
Manage Email Preferences: Similar to the website, you should find options to manage your communication preferences, including email subscriptions.
Sub-heading 3.3: Troubleshooting Customer Digital Account Email Access
Forgot Password? This is a common one!
On the Kroger.com sign-in page, click the "Forgot Password?" link.
Enter the email address associated with your Kroger digital account.
Kroger will send a password reset link to that email address. Check your inbox, including your spam/junk folder.
Click the link in the email and follow the prompts to create a new password.
"Email address not registered" / "Login unsuccessful":
Double-check for typos in your email address and password.
If you're sure the email is correct but it says "not registered," you might not have a digital account created yet, even if you receive promotional emails. In this case, select "Create an Account" and register. You can receive emails from Kroger even without a digital account if your email was provided on your Shopper's Card application.
If you know you have an account but can't log in, try the "Forgot Password" option first.
Receiving emails but can't log in: As mentioned above, it's possible to receive promotional emails without having a full digital account. If this is the case, you'll need to create a new digital account to manage your preferences and link your Shopper's Card.
Issues with Shopper's Card linkage: If your Shopper's Card isn't linking or is associated with another account, you may need to contact Kroger Customer Service for assistance.
Step 4: Staying Secure and Managing Your Email
Regardless of whether you're accessing associate or customer email, security is paramount.
Sub-heading 4.1: Best Practices for Email Security
Use Strong, Unique Passwords: Never reuse passwords across different accounts. Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) if Available: For associate accounts, MFA (like Okta Verify for Partner Pass) is often mandatory and adds a crucial layer of security. If offered for customer accounts, enable it!
Be Wary of Phishing Attempts: Kroger will never ask for your password or sensitive personal information via email. Be suspicious of emails asking you to click unfamiliar links or provide credentials. Always verify the sender's email address.
Log Out After Each Session: Especially on shared or public computers, always log out of your email and Kroger accounts.
Keep Your Software Updated: Ensure your web browser and operating system are up-to-date to benefit from the latest security patches.
Sub-heading 4.2: Managing Communication Preferences (Customer Email)
For Kroger customers, regularly reviewing your email preferences can prevent inbox clutter and ensure you only receive relevant communications.
Log into your Kroger Digital Account: Either via Kroger.com or the mobile app.
Navigate to "Communications" or "Preferences": This section allows you to customize what emails you receive.
Select Your Preferences: You can often choose to receive:
Digital coupons and weekly ads
Personalized offers
Order updates
Pharmacy notifications
And more!
Unsubscribe if Desired: If you no longer wish to receive any emails, you can often find an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email from Kroger. Note that it may take up to two weeks for all email communications to cease. You may still receive transactional emails (e.g., order confirmations) even after unsubscribing from marketing.
