Main risk

Losing the account that holds your subscriber list

The list is the asset

A newsletter's value is its subscribers: the people who opened your emails, trusted your recommendations and maybe pay you. That list lives in your beehiiv account. Losing access, through a forgotten login, a lapsed recovery method or a takeover, puts months or years of work at risk.

Export your subscriber list regularly as a backup. It is yours, and a copy outside the platform is cheap insurance.

People most often use one of our numbers for beehiiv to:

• A one-off code during setup, with your own details used for recovery and payouts

Many apps expect the number you keep. We help with the cases above; we do not help anyone reach an account that is not theirs — see our acceptable use policy.

Why new senders get checked

Email providers such as Gmail and Outlook judge platforms by the mail they send. One spammer can hurt delivery for thousands of honest newsletters on the same infrastructure. So newsletter platforms review new publications, watch bounce and complaint rates, and limit or suspend senders whose lists look bought or scraped.

Accounts created with throwaway details to blast a list are exactly what those checks are for. We do not support using our numbers for it.

Importing subscribers

When moving from another platform, import only people who subscribed to you. Purchased lists and scraped addresses lead to high bounce and complaint rates, which get publications restricted. They also break anti-spam laws in many countries.

Getting paid

Paid subscriptions and ad earnings are paid out through payment providers that verify who you are, with identity details, tax information and a bank account in your name or your business's name. That check is about you, and no phone number replaces it.

Protecting the account

Use a unique password and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep the email on the account secure with its own two-factor sign-in, because it can reset your beehiiv password. If a temporary number was ever involved, make sure your recovery methods now point to things you control.

Your own sending domain

Sending from your own domain, rather than a shared platform address, builds a reputation that belongs to you. It also lets you meet mailbox providers' authentication rules with SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. If you ever move platforms, the domain and its reputation come with you. That is another reason to keep the account, the domain registrar and the email that controls both on details you own for the long term.

Working with a team

Add editors and writers as team members with their own logins instead of sharing yours. Each person's access can be limited and removed when they leave, and your own login stays private.

Phishing aimed at creators

Newsletter writers receive fake sponsorship offers with malicious attachments, fake "account suspended" emails and fake collaboration requests that ask you to sign in through a link. Check sponsorships independently, open attachments only from people you have verified, and sign in to beehiiv directly.

Installing beehiiv and verifying the number

When the code does not arrive

In order of how often each one is the real cause:

1. Your publication is under review
   New senders can be reviewed. Make sure your list is opted-in and your content is clear.
2. Sending was limited
   High bounces or complaints trigger limits. Clean your list.
3. Payouts are pending
   Complete identity and bank verification in your own name.
4. You lost access to your two-factor method
   Use backup codes or contact beehiiv support.
5. A verification code did not arrive
   Check the number and country code, then request again.

Working out which case you are in

1. Did your subscribers opt in? Yes Import them. No Do not import them.
2. Is two-factor on? Yes Good. No Turn it on.
3. Are you monetising? Yes Verify payouts in your name. No Carry on writing.
4. Do teammates share your login? Yes Give them their own. No Good.

Before you request another code

• Use an email you control
• Turn on two-factor authentication
• Import only opted-in subscribers
• Verify payouts in your name
• Give teammates their own logins
• Export your list regularly
