Two Logins Explained (Account, Community, and Reader)

Bright Haven currently uses three tools to deliver the full experience: your subscription account, the Bright Haven Community, and the Bright Haven Reader (reading and listening).

We know this is not ideal. Single Sign-On (one login across everything) is planned, and the long-term goal is to bring the experience together into one seamless Bright Haven app. Until then, this guide will help you set things up once and avoid sign-in headaches.

The 3 Bright Haven Tools (and What Each One Does)

1) Bright Haven Account (Billing + Settings)

This is where you manage your subscription, update payment details, and review account settings.

• Account login: https://brighthavenbooks.com/account

2) Bright Haven Community (Discussion + Events)

This is where readers and authors connect through posts, discussions, announcements, book clubs, and events.

• Community: https://brighthavenbooks.com/pages/community

3) Bright Haven Reader (Reading + Listening)

This is the app experience for eBooks and audiobooks.

Why You May Be Asked to Create Two Logins

When you register for any Bright Haven subscription, you may receive two separate emails:

Email 1: Bright Haven account password

This email asks you to create the password for your Bright Haven account.

Use this login to manage billing, subscription settings, and account details.

Email 2: Bright Haven Reader password

This email asks you to set a password for the Reader.

Yes, it is a second password. The good news is it is a one-time setup.

The Easiest Setup (Recommended)

To keep things simple now (and make the transition to Single Sign-On easier later):

• Use the same email address everywhere
• Use the same password everywhere (if allowed)

That means:

• Bright Haven Account login uses your subscription email + password
• Community login uses the same subscription email + password
• Reader login uses the same subscription email + password (when you set it)

Quick Troubleshooting Checklist

If your access ever looks “off” (missing books, locked content, or you cannot see what you expect), it usually means you are logged into the Community or Reader with a different email than the one you subscribed with.

Try this:

1. Log out of the tool you are using (Community or Reader)
2. Log back in using the same email you used at checkout
3. Try again

If you are not sure which email you subscribed with, check your inbox for the Bright Haven subscription emails and use that address.

Common Login Issues

“I can log into my account, but the Reader is not working.”

The Reader has its own password setup email. Search your inbox for the Reader setup message and complete that one-time password creation, then sign in again.

“I created my password, but the Community says it is wrong.”

When entering the Community for the first time, choose Login with Bright Haven, then use the email and password you created for your Bright Haven account.

“My subscription shows active, but I cannot access titles.”

Log out and back in with your subscription email. Access issues are almost always tied to using a different email address in one of the tools.
