Q. I made a New York Times account, why do I still not have access to articles online?

You need to then activate your pass on an account through our institutional subscription while on-campus (on our network). Your email and password you used to create the account should still be good and can be used to activate the pass, but an account does not automatically give you access. Otherwise, you may still run into paywalls.

New York Times accounts are free, and are how you sign up for newsletters and are what users add subscriptions/passes to.

You can learn more about activating a pass on an account in the FAQ below.
