Getting started
Signing in and password rules
How to sign in to PlateNet with a password or with Discord, what happens after too many attempts, and how administrator issued one time codes work.
Sign in using your username, not your display name. A successful sign in opens the Portal.
Password requirements
Your password must meet the requirements shown under the field.
Other outcomes
Repeated failed attempts return "Too many login attempts. Try again later or contact a platform administrator."
ACCOUNT CONFIRMATION REQUIRED appears when the Terms or Privacy Policy have been republished since you last accepted them, or when your account has no age confirmation. Tick what is shown and select CONFIRM AND CONTINUE.
SET A NEW PASSWORD appears when an administrator has issued you a one time code.
Administrator issued one time codes
A password issued by an administrator works once. Set your permanent password before leaving the page. If you leave without saving, the one-time code can no longer be used and an administrator has to issue another.
Your new password has to meet the same rules and cannot match the one time code.
Password recovery
A platform administrator issues a one time code, and may ask for the recovery code shown at registration first.
Signing in with Discord
When the platform has Discord sign-in switched on, the login page shows SIGN IN WITH DISCORD under the password form, after the word "or". Press it, approve PlateNet on Discord's page the first time, and you are signed in. No username or password is involved.
It works for an account that was created with Discord, or for an account that linked Discord from MANAGE ACCOUNT. If your Discord account has no PlateNet account yet, you are sent to the registration page to enter a community access code and finish creating one.
PlateNet keeps your Discord user ID and username. It never sees your Discord password.
An account created with Discord has no password. Set a username and password under MANAGE ACCOUNT so you can still sign in if Discord is unavailable.
No account yet
"New here? Join with an access code" at the bottom of the login page opens the registration page. See create an account and join a community.
Signing out
SIGN OUT is at the right of the header on every signed in page.
