<p>Undo revision 2666734 by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Horrible" title="Special:Contributions/Horrible">Horrible</a> (<a href="/index.php?title=User_talk:Horrible&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:Horrible (page does not exist)">Talk</a>)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The [[login screen]] is the first screen shown when you start up [[Guild Wars]]: the login dialog, [[Login screen announcements|announcements]], and other current notices are drawn in front of the current [[character selection screen]] backdrop while the camera slowly orbits the area and the current theme music plays.<br /> <br /> You can manage your [[options]] before entering the game, though key bindings are unchangeable outside of the game proper.<br /> <br /> You can create a new [[account]], add [[access key]]s, or [[Diagnostic utility|test your hardware]] in the login dialog. Further account managment options are available once you log in and enter the character selection screen.<br /> <br /> ==Reset Password==<br /> The Reset Password option is unavailable; [[Support|contact Support]] if you forgot your password. If you know your password and want to change it, see the instructions [[Guild Wars Wiki:FAQ#How do I change my password?|here]].<br /> &lt;!--<br /> * First and foremost, ''resetting'' the password and ''changing'' the password are different. <br /> <br /> * If your Guild Wars account is linked to an NCsoft Master Account (NCMA) and if you can access your game account, you ''can change your password'' from within the game. The password change is made off of the character selection screen, the screen that appears immediately after you log in. You click the &quot;Edit Account&quot; button and make the change you choose.<br /> <br /> * If your Guild Wars account is linked to an NCMA and if you can access your game account, you ''cannot reset your password'' from within the game. The system will look as if it is processing that request, and you will receive a message saying a new password has been sent, but this is not accurate. But remember, you can change your password from within the game, as detailed above.<br /> <br /> * If your Guild Wars account is linked to an NCMA and if you cannot access your game account, you cannot reset your password or change your password from within the game (obviously, because you can’t get in to do so). Instead, you must reset your password through the NCMA interface.<br /> <br /> * If your Guild Wars account is linked to an NCMA and if you cannot access either your game or master account, please contact {{support}} to assist you in resetting your password. But please note the comments above, because you may be able to self-help on this by making sure you’re using the right process for the type of account you have.<br /> <br /> * If your Guild Wars account is not linked to an NCMA and if you can log into your game account, you can trigger a reset on the log-in screen '''or''' change your password on the character selection screen/Edit Account screen from within the game interface.<br /> <br /> * If your Guild Wars account is not linked to an NCMA and if your email address is no longer one to which you have access (or may be insecure), you should log into the game with your current password, edit the log-in (user) name to a functioning and secure email address, and then reset or change your password, as you desire.<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> * A security question, requiring the name of a character on the account, was added with the [[Feedback:Game updates/20091221|December 21, 2009 update]]. It was later removed with the [[Feedback:Game updates/20200930|September 30, 2020 update]].<br /> * [[w:Multi-factor_authentication|Two-factor authentication]] was added in the [[Feedback:Game_updates/20180606|June 6, 2018 update]]. This can be configured via your [https://account.arena.net/login ArenaNet Account].<br /> {{bug|The text on the two-factor authentication pop-up will not wrap properly until the ''Guild Wars'' window is focused. However, this does not impact functionality.}}<br /> * The [[Performance Monitor]] is available in the lower right corner, allowing you to gauge your graphic and network performance before entering the game.<br /> * If you check &quot;Hide UI&quot;, the login screen UI will disappear after an idle timeout, and then reappear when you move your mouse. This option will also remain set between visits to the login screen.<br /> * You can automatically bypass the login screen by using certain [[Command line#-password|command line switches]].<br /> * If there are no announcements to display, that pane will not be shown at all.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/230672927-Securing-Your-Account-With-Authentication Securing Your Account With Authentication]<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Login_Screen_20200930.jpg|The current login pane<br /> File:2FA Screen.jpg|The email version of the two-factor authentication pop-up<br /> File:2FA Screen (Authenticator).jpg|The authenticator app version of the two-factor authentication pop-up<br /> File:Login Screen(after 20091221 update).jpg|The login screen from the December 21, 2009 through September 30th, 2020)<br /> File:new Gw log in menu.jpg|Account login pane (after the December 21, 2009 update)<br /> File:Login_Screen.jpg|The login screen (before the December 21, 2009 update)<br /> File:Login-box.jpg|Account login pane (before the December 21, 2009 update)<br /> File:Announcement_Pane.jpg|Announcements pane<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> {{User interface nav}}<br /> [[Category:User interface]]</div>
