FAQ

1. What is an OTP?
   • OTP stands for "One-Time Password." It is a temporary password generated for a single authentication session or transaction. OTPs are used as an additional authentication factor to increase security, especially in login processes and financial transactions. They are typically generated by a specific device or application and have a short validity period, which helps protect against interception and password reuse attacks.

      5. The website displays a QR code. You need to scan it with your OTP app, like Google Authenticator, Authy, etc., and also scan it with a QR code reader to obtain the OTP secret.

3. I don’t have OTP enabled on my account. How do I enable OTP?
   • Link to activate your OTP: Square Enix Authenticator
4. I made a mistake typing my password and/or OTP code, what should I do?
   • Delete the eorzea_launcher.config configuration file and run the program again.
5. I changed my password and/or OTP, what should I do?
   • Delete the eorzea_launcher.config configuration file and run the program again.
6. My computer is acting up, clicking and typing randomly.
   • The Launcher works through a timer, and the screen may not have fully loaded on your computer yet. You need to configure the times you want for each screen load. To do this, after completing the program's configuration step, open the eorzea_launcher.config file and set the variables starting with waiting_time_to_... in seconds, save the configuration file, and run the program again. Monitor the seconds in the executable to check for inconsistencies.
