Password recovery while logged in?

[NeoSolleks]

Okay so I created my account in the Launcher sometime in October, wrote my password down right then and there, and continued to play with having the game remembering my credentials every time I started it up, no issues.

jump forward to present time I installed PSU Clementine on to a new computer and went to log in I noticed the password I had written down and the password asterisks saved on my other computer were off by one character. I have tried every combination to figure out the password and have exhausted my efforts, but I can still play on my old computer. 
 

So my question is, is there a way on my old computer to discovery what my saved password is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think i can be able to help you here actually!

Not sure how dose your pc saves it, buuuuut

in my lappy
C:\Users\(Username)\appData\Locale\SEGA\PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE Illuminus
There's a file there called

Psu illuminus.ini

It contains various things, my client dosen't have the name/paasword recognition

But i think you could salvage it from that file

If not, then there's still a way to save your account

as you said you made it in the launcher which asks for email

and two security quesion

Which you probably SHOULD NOT POST HERE

But an admin might be able to answer better with the secound way instand of me ^^

The first i think has high hope

Thank you for your help. I tried the 1st suggestion but I did not have a file by that name.

 

As for the second suggestion, I do recall setting up the security questions but I don’t see where I can use them for a password recovery. Do you know how I could contact an Admin for assistance?

If there’s a way I could just reset a new password on my old logged in computer that would work too.

Is there any other file you have in that folder? Checking up my folder i only have that one file in it.

While generaly don't understand it, here's a quote from it.
"PASSWORD=0"
But as i've said, i've unchecked the memorisation on the name and pass ^^ so it might show it, if i had it on

As for contract with an admin, it may take some time to recieve an answer.

And of course there's discord too (which i personally don't use)

Here is what I have in the Folder, I checked the sub folders and do not have any useful information. Do you know how I would be able to change my password on my logged in computer?

Ohh i see why went wrong there for you, basically

I not sure where did you install your game, but let's just example with my installation

i have it on C:\Games\Phantasy Star Universe Clementine

Which is all good, and lovely

Most everything you need is in the Phantasy Star Universe folder, which is once again all right.
However that one file i've been mention is elsewhere

Not sure what is your username for your pc/lappy (not even my concern) So let's just say, it's the same as your forum name :3

Your file should be at then

C:\Users\NeoSolleks\appData\Local\SEGA\PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE Illuminus

NeoSolleks\

So this folder should be look like

I located where I had saved game folders but to no avail, the PSU Illuminus.Ini was not located. I even searched by name on my computer with no results, so it looks like I won’t be able to recover my account onto my new PC. 
 

I really want to thank you for all the help you provided Fruzsina, you have been beyond helpful. Is that your in game name? I hope to play with you someday.

@NeoSolleks Are you in our Discord server? If you are, then please DM me there, and we can recover your account. If not, then feel free to PM me on the forum as well. You'll need to let me know the email address that you have associated with the account. If not, then we will have account recovery hopefully in the near future.

I will get back to you some time tomorrow (it's zzz time, sorry), if you can let me know. Sorry for the hassle!

@NeoSolleks Thing is the "appData" folder is hidden, So you either need to either

• Find an application that is installed there, so you can check what is in there, and travell back to the wnted folder
• Change settings that hidden folders to be shown
• If you're using program like total commander, then mannually type the location

I tried to find it with the search thingy, but i couldn't find it either, i suspect becuse the entire appData folder is hidden

I actually have a charracter called, but you will most likely find me as Led ^^

@Marmalade Out of curioucity, that file i've been mention (the psuilluminos.ini), would be solution for his case?

I really want to thank you Fruzsina. Thanks to you and the help Marmalade I was able to gain access to my account, which if my old computer ever gave out I would have lost access to. 
 

I hope to see you around!
