What are the benefits of a standalone WSJ account?

• Login from anywhere. Yes, even from the WSJ mobile apps!
• Subscribe to WSJ newsletters.

• Setup alerts based on topics that interest you.

Creating a standalone WSJ account is simple:

1. Use the direct link https://library.doc.gov/wsj.

2. You will then be prompted to create an account.

3. Your name and email address are automatically imported. Create a password, then click Create.

4. You will then be signed into Wall Street Journal. Enjoy!

Please note: If you are logged in and don't have a standalone account. Simply go through the above steps to trigger a new account.
