    DIGITAL ACCESS: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why am I hitting the paywall when I have a subscription? How do I activate my digital account?

    • If you haven't already, you will need to activate your digital account. Go to www.startribune.com/activate and follow the prompts on the screen to link your subscription. Don't worry about finding your subscription number – you will just need your last name and phone number. From there, you can either log in with an existing email address and password or create a new login.

      What if I forgot my password?

      • If you are getting a message that says your email is already in use, you already have a login account created with that email address. You can reset your password by going to www.startribune.com/forgotpassword. You will be emailed a link where you can enter a new password.

        How do I access eEdition (the digital replica of the print newspaper)?
        You can access eEdition 3 different ways:

        1. On a desktop or tablet device:
          Go to www.startribune.com. Select "eEdition" in the top right corner.

          On a mobile phone device:
          Click the menu button – the three lines in the top left corner. eEdition is listed toward the bottom of the list of options.

                    How do I print from the site?

                    • Desktop: To print a digital article on desktop, look for the gray tool bar on the left side of the article. Toward the bottom of the toolbar, you will see a print icon. Click on that icon to print the article.
                      • eEdition: To print from the eEdition on desktop, click anywhere on the article or on the crossword puzzle. This will bring up the article view. At the top, you will see another tool bar. Select the "print" icon in that toolbar. When using a mobile browser, select anywhere on the article, which will pull the article up into a different view. Select the three-line menu in the upper right corner and select the print icon.
