Unlike typical password plugins, this system goes a step further by tracking both a player's unique ID and their IP address.
When a player joins and successfully enters the password, their ID and IP are stored as a trusted combination. On future joins from the same IP, they won't need to re-enter the password, making the experience seamless for regular players. All trusted players are saved to the config file, so you can manually remove an IP and user ID if needed to force a password re-entry- just remember to restart the server after making any manual changes.
However, if that same account logs in from a different IP- whether it's the player on a new network or someone attempting unauthorized access- the plugin will require the password again. Since the IP doesn't match the trusted record, bypass is not allowed.
This approach improves security while still keeping things convenient for trusted users. No repeated logins for regulars, but strong protection against potential intruders.
Setup Instructions:
- Download the plugin and place it in your server's plugins folder.
- Restart your server.
- Open the generated ZyPass folder and edit the config file: Keep the quotation marks. Enter your password in the first set of quotes. Enter your hint in the second set of quotes. Do not modify anything else- the plugin will automatically manage additional data as players authenticate. Players only need to type the password itself (not the quotation marks).
- Save your changes and restart the server again.
- Join the server, wait for the on-screen instructions (displayed above the hotbar), and enter your password in chat.
Additional Notes:
Password messages are not fully sent in chat, so other players cannot see what you entered. Your password remains private unless you choose to share it.
