There may be a variety of reasons you are unable to login and access your New York Times subscription or account. In most cases, login issues occur due to incorrect login credentials (such as using an email address not associated with your subscription) rather than an issue with your account or subscription.

Follow these steps in order to get logged in:

1. Check your login credentials. Ensure your email address and password are spelled correctly, and that you are using the email address that is associated with your account.
2. Try logging in without a password. When you select this option you bypass entering a password, and we will send you an email with a direct login link. 
   
3. Reset your password. Be sure to check your spam, junk, or promotions folders for the password reset email. If you are still unable to find your password reset email, add nyt@service.newyorktimes.com to your address book and request another password reset email.
4. Update your app and operating system. The New York Times regularly releases new versions of the mobile apps that provide enhanced functionality and issue fixes. If you are using an outdated version of the app you may experience issues logging in or reduced app functionality until you update. Visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to confirm the current version and update your app, or your device’s Settings to update the operating system. 
5. Clear your mobile app cache. When you use one of The New York Times’ mobile apps, the app caches data to make logging in and loading the app easier. This information may be outdated or conflict with your login attempts. This will not affect your saved articles, recipes, or Games streaks/statistics.

3. Start a new login session. Some issues with the mobile apps may be resolved by logging out of your New York Times account and logging back in. 
4. Uninstall and reinstall the app. If the issue persists or if you are unable to take these steps due to operational issues, remove the app from your device and then redownload it. This will not affect your saved articles, recipes, or Games streaks/statistics.
