| − | Content creators who have published user-made add-ons to the Wesnoth add-ons server are surely aware that we currently use a very primitive authentication mechanism that works on a per-add-on basis. An uploader-defined passphrase is provided in the add-on’s [[PblWML|<code>.pbl</code> file]] and this is matched against the add-ons server’s records.

| | | | |
| − | What is not necessarily obvious is that the passphrase is stored in clear text form not only on the client’s side, but also on the server. This means that any person with access to the server configuration can see every add-on’s passphrase in a human-readable format that makes it trivial for it to be stolen. Furthermore, it is also possible for add-ons to obtain add-on passphrases from the client and transmit them over the network. Because of this, we advise content uploaders to use unique passphrases for their content and <b>never reuse an existing password</b> that could grant a malicious party access to their systems or other sites. Also, in order to prevent vandalism, we suggest either using hard-to-guess passphrases, or leaving the passphrase field blank or omitting it altogether when first uploading an add-on so that the add-ons client will generate and save a random one instead.

| − | People who suspect they may be using insecure passphrases for their add-ons should [http://forums.wesnoth.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=6641 send a private message] to the Forum Administrators group to request changing passphrases; or use the command-line add-ons client with the following parameters if possible, substituting the text within brackets and replacing <code>1.12.x</code> with <code>1.13.x</code> or <code>1.10.x</code> if applicable:
