How to Switch from Social Login to Email and Password
TLDR: If you originally signed up for Ground News using a social login method (such as Google or Apple) and would like to switch to using an email and password instead, please reach out to our support team at feedback@ground.news
Why Switch?
Some readers prefer to log in with an email and password to access their paid features across multiple devices, including those where they may not be signed into their Google or Apple accounts. Even after switching to email login, you can still use your social sign-in method (Google or Apple) if you prefer.
How to Request the Email Login Method for Your Account
Since social logins do not require a password, you will need to request a temporary password from our support team to enable email login. Here’s how and what to expect:
Contact Ground News Support
Send an email to feedback@ground.news with the subject line: Request to Switch to Email Login.
Include the email address associated with your Ground News account.
Receive Your Temporary Password
Our support team will generate a temporary password for you.
You will receive an email with your temporary password and instructions to reset it to a password of your choice.
Log In Using Your New Password
Go to the Ground News login page.
Enter your email and the temporary password provided.
Update your password on your Account page (on the website).
Additional Sign-in Methods
Institutional Login: If you signed up using an institutional login (e.g., university/college email authentication), you will need to contact your administrator for any login changes or access issues.
Facebook Login: If you originally signed up using Facebook, you can add an email and password login method directly from the Account page on the Ground News website.
If you experience any issues, please reach out to our support team at feedback@ground.news, and we’ll be happy to assist. We appreciate you for being an active and engaged member of the Ground News community and our team is here to help ensure a smooth login experience!
