Account Center

Overview

The Account Center is where your readers sign up, log in and manage their UniSignIn account. It opens over your page, or as a page of its own, whenever an experience or your site asks a reader to log in.

Readers can:

sign up and log in with a password, an emailed code or social login
reset a forgotten password and change it later
fill in their profile with your data form
subscribe to a plan, manage their cards and see their transactions, when you sell subscriptions
top up their balance, when top-ups are on
manage their newsletter and email preferences
delete their account

You set it up in two places: how readers sign in, under Features > Account Center, and how it looks and what it offers, as an Account Center experience.

Go to Features > Account Center. Only the account owner and Super Administrators can change these settings, see Team and Roles.

To stop using an experience, open it and click Archive this experience. Archiving can't be undone, and an experience still used by an Orchestration or a live Journey can't be archived.

Open it from your site

Add the Sign-in Button experience: Log in and Sign up for visitors, My account for readers who are logged in.
Experiences such as the Access Wall and comments open it when they ask a reader to log in.
Open it from your own links or buttons with the JavaScript API.

Its address

The Account Center is served from your UniSignIn Subdomain, set on your main project. For other projects, the project Name is added to the address, for example https://account.signinservice.com/sports. To use your own domain, such as account.signinservice.com, set up a custom domain on your main project.
