LenSon Report post Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Hello. I have login issue. I changed my password with #change_pass command on my character named WilliamDeWorde2. After using this command Im unable to login on that character. Login buttons doesn't work at all. Game client is permanently frozen. I remember password to this character. I would be grateful for any help in solving this problem. Edited March 26, 2021 by LenSon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revi Report post Posted March 26, 2021 My guess would be that that means you'll have to pay radu $5 to recover the pass. Nothing we can do about it. Note: changing the password in-game cannot freeze the client or make buttons stop working. It sounds like you didn't quite type the pass the way you thought you did. You can of course keep trying to guess the pass, but keep in mind that after a certain number of failed attempts your IP gets banned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LenSon Report post Posted March 26, 2021 I read forum and I noticed I used space mark into my new password. Conslusion is that command #change_password has a bug, because it allows to enter space mark to new password which makes the client freeze. Also in EL Help Page there is no information about forbidden characters in new passwords. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) If you put a space in you new password, the actual new password will be the bit before the space I suspect. If you use the password manager, there is a bug though because the new password is not saved if there is a space. I'll look at fixing that. A space is not a valid character for an EL password and you cannot enter a space at the login screen or new character screen. There should be no freeze. You should be getting a red error message on-screen because the password is incorrect. Edited March 26, 2021 by bluap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have just put this to the test, and I can confirm that your suspicion appears to be correct. Useful info for those who might stumble across this in future LenSon, as bluap suggested, can you try logging in using ONLY the part of the new pass that was before the space?

bluap Report post Posted March 28, 2021 I've added validation checking to the #change_pass command before sending it to the server. This is now consistent validation for the login screen, new character screen, #change_pass and the password manager. I have also include help if #change_pass fails about the valid format. While doing these changes I noticed the login screen was not producing an error message if you were disconnected from the server; it now does produce a message.
