How do I let readers create accounts and sign in?

In this story

Where: Settings → Readers & money → Connections → Readers & sign-in

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/settings/connections/readers (replace <your-site> with your site address)

Before you start

  • The Reader accounts feature must be on your site, or you see an add-on card. See your plan on keynate.com.
  • Admins can view. Only the owner can change these settings.

Quickest way

Press Let readers sign in at the top of this page. It turns on email, Google and the sign-up box in one go. See Let readers sign in.

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Readers & money → Connections. Under More settings, open Readers & sign-in.
  2. Choose sign-in methods.
  3. Set the registration wall.
  4. Set age and younger readers.
  5. Set the human check.
  6. Set sessions.
  7. Save.

Good to know

  • Email sign-in needs an email service. Your site sends sign-in codes with Keynate Email when it is ready.
  • Phone sign-in needs an SMS provider.

Common problems

  • "Choose at least one way to send codes."

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do readers need a password?

Can readers sign in without email?
