How do I create a free account?

I’ve already registered. How do I log in?
If you’ve already registered, click log in and enter your email address and password. If you’ve forgotten your password, please use our online password tool to recover it.

What if I need help creating an account or logging in?
You can reset your password anytime here. If you have any difficulty finding your “forgot password” email, please check your “Spam” folder, or if you use Gmail check your “Promotions” folder. Please also check any other email inboxes associated with the email address you used to sign up for your account. If you are still unable to find your forgot password email, you can also add support@accounts.time.com to your address book or contacts (and then request another password reset email).

If you need additional support, contact customer service at time-customerservice@time.com or call customer service at 1-800-843-8463.

How can I manage my preferences and/or link my print magazine subscription to my account?
You can do all of this in My Account. To link your print subscription, you’ll need your print subscriber ID (you can find the mailing on the mailing label of your magazine). You can also look up your subscriber ID in My Account using your mailing address. We encourage all print subscribers to link to their accounts; you’ll receive additional features and benefits as this new experience develops.
