Sharing your Account without your Password

Post by Nightdawg »

Hello.

Loftar made a pretty cool change and for some reason didn't create a forum topic about it, so I will.


Loftar improved the way the (previously stupid and useless) account tokens work.
I won't cover how they worked in the past, nobody cares.

Here's what you can do with them now:

- You may generate a token for someone to use as a password. (let's call them Token-Passwords)
- You can set the description for the generated Token-Passwords, so for example you can keep track of who you shared that Token-Password with.
- Token-Passwords can only be used to log in the game client. People can't log in on your forum account with the Token-Passwords.
- You can remove Token-Passwords individually, one at a time. So you can revoke a specific Token-Password's access without ruining it for everybody else.
- There's no limit for how many Token-Passwords you can generate, so they won't break.

Here's how:

1. On the website/forum, access your Account panel

2. Go to Account Security

3. Elevate login security level

Image


4. Scroll down to "Saved client logins", and generate a new one
(If you don't see this category, you need to log in at least one time in game using your password, so you have at least one generated token):

Image


5. Copy the token, and share it with your friend:

So you can now switch from sharing your password to sharing Token-Passwords instead, and you won't have to reset your password every damn world, or every time one mouth-breathing ape that you shared your password with decides to grief your whole village or whatever.

For progeny’s sake: when exactly did the Low-Fat Disc Jockey “push” this tokenification of account sharing?

He improved this token stuff a couple of weeks ago

The token stuff has been there for 2 years (I think?), but nobody used them. They used to reset/break after 5 tokens or something like that lmao

Thanks for the nice explanation.

Eye balled it one time before. But the lack of 'proper' documentation/explanation translated to me as incomplete / still bugged / highly WIP feature that was of no current interest to try out.

Crap ...

When hitting the "Add new key" button for Passkey authenticators I get a "Touch your security key to continue with http://www.havenandhearth.com." popup.
Its totally unclear to me what to do next (yea, I clicked the fingerprint looking icon that showed up in the url-bar ... and nothing changed.)

... An other "Joy of discovery" scam from dev's I guess.
