How do I choose how readers sign in?

Where: Settings → Readers & money → Connections → Readers & sign-in (Sign-in methods section)

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

Before you start

• Only the owner can change this.

Steps

1. Open Settings → Readers & money → Connections → Readers & sign-in.
2. Switch on the methods you want:
   • Email (link + code). It needs an email provider. If none is connected, press Connect email.
   • Phone (one-time code). It needs an SMS provider.
3. Under Send codes by, choose how codes go out (for example SMS). Choose at least one.
4. Continue with Google: enter the Web client id. Android and iOS client ids are optional. See Google sign-in.
5. Continue with Apple: enter the Services id, Key id, Team id and the Sign in with Apple key (.p8). In Apple add the return URL shown (your site address followed by /account/sign-in).
6. Save.

Good to know

• If you have an iPhone app and offer Google sign-in, Apple requires "Continue with Apple" too.

Common problems

• "Add the web client id, or turn Google off."
• "Google client ids end with .apps.googleusercontent.com."
• "Add the Services id from Apple, or turn Apple off."
• "Key id and Team id are 10 characters."
• "Connect an email provider first."
