On this page, we walk through all of the Reader Login Default Text Strings available with accompanying screenshots to show how they're used.
Reader Login text customizations are only necessary if the Reader Login page is being used in your knowledge base. The Reader Login page will be shown if you have Enabled reader logins and:
- Default Access is set to public and someone clicks the Login link.
- Default Access is set to Restrict by reader logins and someone navigates to any article or the homepage without being logged in.
