Charter.net (Spectrum) Email Login and Password Reset Help

Charter Communications (now branded as Spectrum) is one of the largest telephone and cable providers in the U.S. Charter.net provides a webmail service through its Spectrum Internet subscription packages. Subscribers can create up to seven email addresses with each Spectrum account.

New subscribers who have created a Spectrum username receive a free email address which is their Spectrum username followed by @spectrum.net. For example, if your username is john.doe, your email address will be john.doe@spectrum.net. Customers who signed up before the service rebranded can continue to access their account using their charter.net credentials and continue to use their @charter.net email address.

How to Login to your Charter.net or Spectrum.net Email Account

If so, enter your ZIP code and press the Continue button.

Charter Spectrum Additional Email Addresses

As a subscriber to Spectrum Internet services you can create up to seven free email addresses. Your primary, or administrative, username and email address is used to manage your account and has full access to all account features.

If you haven’t set up your administrative Spectrum username yet, go to the Sign In page and click the Create Username link at the bottom of the page. Then follow the on-screen instructions.

Provided you have created your main Spectrum username, you can now add additional standard usernames each of which will have an associated email address and independent mailbox.
