Textpresso Literature Search: New Login System

We are introducing a new authentication system for Textpresso — please read the instructions below.

What is changing?

Textpresso Literature Search is moving to Amazon Cognito as its new login and authentication system. This means that all Textpresso users will need to create a new account through a self-signup process. Previously, Textpresso could be used without logging in. Going forward, a login will be required.
