If a Player (or a GM!) enters an incorrect password when attempting to enter a World from the World Login screen, the following error message displays:
Invalid password provided for {username}!
Thankfully, there are several easy ways to fix this problem.
No Password, No Problem
If you or another User are having trouble logging in, first just try entering a blank password.
Because there is no password set by default when a new User is created (including the default, automatically created Gamemaster account), you can often log in successfully this way.
How to Reset Another User's Password
If a GM-level User can log into a World, they can easily set a new password for any other User.
- Launch the World and join it as a GM-level User
- Open the Settings sidebar by clicking the Gear icon (located all the way at the end)
- In the User Management screen that displays, clear out the previous password or enter a new one.
How to Reset All User Passwords for a World
If no GM-level user can enter the World, someone with access to the Setup screen can clear all passwords for the World so that you can log in again.
- On the Setup screen, find the World that you cannot access, right-click it, and then select Edit World
- In the Edit World dialog that displays, check the Reset User Passwords box
- Click Update World
Now, the next time you launch the World, all Users will be able to log in just by entering a blank password. After clearing passwords in this way, be sure to set a new password for your Gamemaster account and any other user accounts that you'd like to be secured as soon as possible.
