New York Times Pass

How long does the pass last?

• The pass is good for one year and can be renewed upon reaching expiration.

How do existing users renew the pass after the account expires?

• First, log off your NYT account on ALL applicable devices.*
• Go to the NYT Account Page. 
• Click on Already have an account? Log in here.
• Enter the same username and password you had previously used with NYTimes.com.
• If you don’t remember your password, go to the Forgot Your Password page to get reset instructions sent to your email address.

*In the NYT app, click on the Profile icon (black silhouette on the upper right corner). Then select Log Out (below your account name on the Settings page).

Tips and Troubleshooting

• After creating an account or updating your personal account, you will be advanced to a screen with a button to connect to NYTimes.com. Click the blue button “Go to NYTimes.com” to start your pass.
• Remember the expiration time and date for when you need to go and grab a pass again by repeating steps 1 – 4 by simply logging in. Or click on the calendar reminder feature.
• After claiming your NYTimes.com pass, provided by your institution, do not sign out so NYTimes.com remembers your personal credentials on your personal device. If working from a public computer, please do sign out. Your NYT account may be signed in directly at NYTimes.com from any computer using the same email and password used to create your account. There is no need to go through your library’s URL again until your pass needs to be renewed.
• If you go into “My Account” page under the username, you will see under DIGITAL SUBSCRIPTION that you have “shared access.” Take advantage of NYT’s weekly email alerts in the gray bars in the My Account page.
• If you select “cancel”, on the “My Account” page your account will be detached from your school’s main group pass account with unlimited access to NYTimes.com, and will keep you on NYTimes.com as a registered user with access to 10 articles from NYTimes.com, which resets monthly.
• If you have been disconnected by “cancelling” your account, but wish to reconnect your account you will need to start the process again by repeating steps 1 – 4.
• If you’re having problems connecting your pre-existing account to your institution’s pass make sure that you’ve logged out of NYTimes.com prior to authenticating your pass.
• To quickly check if you are logged out of NYTimes.com – go to NYTimes.com, and click on your name if it appears on the upper right. Note the current username or email and password from NYTimes.com; if you have forgotten your password to NYTimes.com, reset it at www.NYTimes.com/forgot. Then log out of NYTimes.com.
• If you have forgotten your password go to www.NYTimes.com/forgot.
