Overview
Let players register and log in with a password.
Credential lets players register with a password and log in with it. It is the provider for players without a premium Minecraft account. Install it as described in Installation and enable it in providers/providers.yml.
Its files are in providers/Credential/: settings.yml, messages.yml and commands.yml.
What players do
| Command | Does |
|---|---|
/pass <password> | registers with a password |
/passconfirm <password> | confirms it, when repeating the password is required |
/login <password>, /l <password> | logs in |
/changepassword <current> <new> [repeat] | changes the password |
/credential | starts moving the account to Credential; /credential confirm or /credential cancel follow |
Passwords covers the password rules and how passwords are stored, and Brute-force protection covers wrong passwords.
Usernames
Players choose their username by joining with it. A Credential account belongs to its username without regard to case: a player who registered as MrBeast and joins as mrbeast logs in to the same account, with the same password and UUID.
Credential does not own its names the way Premium does, so under the default username rules a name another account holds is refused, and the real premium owner of a name takes it over from a Credential account.
Console commands
| Command | Permission | Does |
|---|---|---|
/identica credential register <username> <password> | identica.admin | registers an account for a player who has not joined yet |
/identica credential setpassword <username> <password> | identica.admin | sets a new password for an existing account, whatever the case of the username |
register gives the account the UUID reserved for its username, which is how accounts from another plugin keep their UUIDs; see Coming from another plugin. It only creates accounts: when an account holds the username already, in any case and through any provider, it answers with commands.admin.accountExists (placeholders {target}, {username}, {uniqueId}) and registers nothing; when the reserved UUID belongs to another account, it answers with commands.admin.reservationTaken (placeholders {target}, {uniqueId}, {username}).
Features
Credential supports every feature. Many networks require verification for Credential, since a password alone can be guessed or reused.
