Logging In
How do I stay logged in to the website?

Sometimes you may be logged out if you’re browsing in a private browser window or have enabled certain security settings. If you’re repeatedly asked to log into the website, verify the following: 

  • Download the mobile app. Our mobile app is free to download and alleviates many of the most common login issues, especially when browsing on mobile devices. We also think it’s one of the best ways to experience The Banner’s reporting! To download the app, click here.

  • Make sure you’re not browsing in a private window. Find instructions on how to turn off private browsing in Safari , Chrome, or Firefox.

  • Make sure you’ve enabled cookies in your browser. Find instructions on how to do this: Safari (macOS), Chrome and Firefox.

  • Make sure that you’re opening The Banner in the full version of your browser. Some apps, like Twitter and Gmail, open links in a “light” browser within the app. This browser most usually will not retain your login information from previous sessions. Open links in the full version of your preferred browser to avoid this issue.

Mobile App
How do I download the app?

The app is available on the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Is the app free?

The app is free to download, but you’ll need an account to read articles. You will be prompted to either create an account or login to an existing one when you open the app.

I can’t access articles in the app even though I’ve subscribed to The Banner.

Verify that you are logged into the app using an account with an active subscription (you may need to log out of the current session first).

Please note that only paid subscribers have full access to the app. If you have a free account but are not a subscriber, you will only be able to access one article per week. Click here to subscribe.
