Account Settings: Add an Email Login to an Existing Account

We now offer our publishers the option to activate any combination of four login options: Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn and Email Login.  

If you're a publisher with an existing account, you can activate these other types from the Email & Social Channel Login tab of your Account Settings.

3.  Click on your user name to expand the dropdown menu, then click Account Settings. 

4.  Choose the Email & Social Channel Login tab and scroll down to Email Login. To enable Email Login, we must verify your identity.  Authenticate your identity with the Social Channel account already enabled (either Twitter, Facebook, Google or LinkedIn). The example below shows an account setup previously for Facebook login.

5.  If your email address has not yet been verified, you will see message asking you to verify/confirm your email before continuing.  Click the "Resend confirmation" link and check your inbox (and spam folder if necessary) for an email with subject line "Confirm your Paper.li email!". Once your email has been verified, authenticate your identity, as shown in Step 4.  

6.  Once you have successfully authenticated your identity, you are asked for a password.  Enter a password, click on 'show' to verify that you have entered your password correctly and click 'update'.  A green banner confirming success will be shown.

7.  Once Email Login is enabled, you may login using Email or the connected Social Channel(s) shown in the "Social Channel Login" section.
