How do readers sign in to read members posts?

Readers get real accounts on your website, under /members (renameable in Memberships, under Income). They join with a secure one-time email sign-in link, continue with Google, or use their central Podspun member account. Opening an emailed link shows a Podspun confirmation button first, so an automatic mailbox scanner cannot use it before the reader does.

Signed-in members manage their newsletter preference, paid plan (through Stripe's own billing portal), and sign out at /members. Password setup and reset happen only on Podspun's secure central member page, never on a publisher-controlled website. A password reset signs out older member sessions across every show. A Members link appears in your site header automatically once you use News / Blog members posts, and the join card under every gated post points readers to the same pages.
