I can't login - what should I do?

Having trouble logging into your account? This article can help you regain access and explains next steps.

I have forgotten my password

Use the Account Recovery to change your password:

1. Visit our site and click Account.
   
2. Click Account Recovery.
   
3. Enter your email address and click Submit.
   
4. Watch for an email from no-reply@robertsspaceindustries.com. If you don't see the email, you may need to search, check your spam folder, promotions, or other locations.
5. Follow the link in the email to change your password. After you are in your account, you will use your Login ID and password to access the account and game. 

I just can't login to the RSI Launcher

It's possible your USER content needs to be rebuilt. 

1. Open a file explorer. 
2. Locate the folder: (install drive)\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\LIVE 
3. Delete the USER folder. 
4. Fully shutdown your computer. This fully clears any remaining Windows memory cache with incorrect or corrupt information.
5. Boot up. Open the Launcher and try logging in again with your Login ID and password! 

Helpful note: The logindata.json file generates and deletes when the RSI Launcher is open. This also helps to keep login information updated. Just in case, fully close the Launcher and make sure the file is definitely removed from (install drive)\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\LIVE.

I received a password changed email when I did not change my password?

It's possible your account may have been compromised. View the Hacked Accounts guide and follow the steps within it.

I have authenticator problems

If you forgot your phone, bought a new phone, or reset your phone, you will need to use your backup codes to regain access to your account.

You can then access the Security tab, remove the authenticator, and add a new one.

If you do not have access to codes, and are completely stuck, contact RSI Player Relations with the subject Account Recovery. Include as much of the following information as possible, and we can help faster!

• Login ID (used to login to the game/website)
• Last known Email address associated with account
• Date of Birth
• First and last name on the account
• First line of billing address
• Handle ID (displayed to others when logged into the game)
• Some information on your pledges

For troubleshooting information, see Authenticator Troubleshooting.

Captcha and Launcher logins

To better secure the Launcher and game server access, we have added Captcha to the Launcher. When you login, you may see a new message:

ATTENTION! You must confirm your account is not a bot. Please visit the RSI website and sign in to your account, then try again.

We have received reports that Chrome may not detect correctly. If you only use Chrome, you may want to try Firefox or another popular web browser.

The best way to access is to do the following:

1. Fully close your Launcher.
2. Access our site: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/
3. Click Account. If you are currently logged in, click Sign Out. It's important to sign out fully.
   
4. Log back into the RSI site with your Login ID and password. Click I'm not a bot for the Captcha.
   Troubleshooting: If you use Chrome, you may not always see this option. You may want to try Firefox.
5. Run the Launcher and login again.

If you continue to have issues, please log out of your RSI account in a browser and clear your cache. This article can also help out for all major browsers.

I no longer have access to my original email used on my RSI account

If you can log into your account through My RSI, you can change your email easily through the Security tab.

If you cannot log in with your Login ID and password, we can help update the email address on your account with proper ownership verification. Please contact RSI Player Relations asking to have your email changed. 

Give us your new email address.

You will need to provide as much of the following information as possible:

• Login ID (used to login to the game/website)
• Last known Email address associated with account
• Date of Birth
• First and last name on the account
• First line of billing address
• Handle ID (displayed to others when logged into the game)
