How to share your account with a friend or family member

Share your account access with up to four other users - at no additional cost to you or them.

As a Dayton Daily News subscriber, you can share your account access with up to four other users - at no additional cost to you or them. Whether they’re your friends, or family members - you can give the benefits of a Dayton Daily News subscription to them with their own log in.

Sharing your access does not give these users any privileges to change your account, such as access to payment or your secure password. These shared users can remain active digital users, with all of the access to DaytonDailyNews.com, the ePaper and the Dayton Daily News app as long as your paid subscription remains active.

To share your subscription follow these steps.

1. Log in to the customer service dashboard by going to myaccount.daytondailynews.com.

2. Under the My Account heading in the navigation menu, click Share your Subscription. This will bring you to the Share Your Subscription page.

3. You will see the number of invitations you have remaining for your account (up to 4) and fillable form sections to “invite” users to share your account access. If you’d like to invite a friend or family member, you must fill out all sections - First Name, Last Name, email address, and the type of access they should hold.

Note: Types of access include “Guest” which allows a user to create their own username and password to sign into all Dayton Daily News access. An “Owner” type would change that user to have payment control of the subscription account.

4. Fill out all sections of the invite form and hit the Invite button. Our system will then send an email to that person asking them to create their own login, using the email address provided and prompt them to create a password.

5. Pending invitations will be displayed below.

6. Active shared users are also displayed - including whether the shared user has “Guest” or “Owner” status. As the owner of the account, you can revoke access to users using the trashcan feature.
