As members, we log into the server when we enter. There  
are a couple of reasons for this:

- Nobody can impersonate you (it’s happened)
- To be able to do “member only” commands (eg: Mute, Kick, Nosafe)
- To ensure that your stats are not tampered with by the general public.
- Any other future cosiderations.  
In your user.ini file, located in ‘Rune\System’, add the following  
lines under the categories shown below:

> [DefaultPlayer]  
> .  
> .  
> .  
> password=xxxxxxx  
> where password=xxxxxxx is your password for [lowcaliber.com](http://lowcaliber.com).  
> In addition edit the following line:  
> [Engine.PlayerPawn]  
> .  
> .  
> .  
> password=xxxxxxx  
> Due to certain limitations in Rune, the server may yet fail to recognize  
> you automatically.&nbsp; If that’s the case, issue the “pLogin”  
> command.&nbsp; The pLogin command has three parts which you should issue in  
> the following order, try:

1. pLogin by itself; if this doesn’t work try
2. pLogin + password; if this still doesn’t work try
3. pLogin + username + password as a last resort.  
At the very worst, you may have to bind a key to issue pLogin when you  
get on the server; we’re working on the automatic authentication process  
but we believe we’ve encountered some native limitations in the Rune  
code. (See [Authentication Fix](https://forum.lowcaliber.com/t/authentication-fix/2419)).

Some users also need to specify their “arena password” in their member profile on [lowcaliber.com](http://lowcaliber.com). When all else fails, don’t hesitate to ask questions.
