This is a temporary solution to allow f95checker to login
its not "user friendly" but certainly quick and easy to do and the few seconds it takes to do it will definitely save you the time it would need to check the games manually.
This will work for edge, chrome and brave. (should work for any browser with similar steps)
1. Open f95checker then close it,
it needs to be closed before you continue! (this is to generate the settings file if you have never used it before)
2. locate your settings file
-- if you're using windows:
%AppData%\f95checker
just copy paste that into your file explorer directly
-- if you're using linux:
/home/<USER>/.f95checker/
replace
<USER> with your username.
3. create a shortcut of
f95checker.json to your desktop or wherever so you can easily access it so you don't have to do step 2 again
4. go to f95zone using your preferred browser,
log out if you are already logged in! then open
devtools. (as a side note, Do Not Trust anyone that tells you to type stuff into devtools or share any info from there unless you want to be compromised!)
to open devtools, press
F12 or
ctrl+shift+i or click the
3 dots/settings icon > More tools > Developer tools
5. Go to the
Application tab in devtools, if its not visible, click the
>> at the top near Elements and console etc.. to find it.
6. in the side menu under Application, you'll find
Storage, under it you'll find
Cookies, click the arrow next to it to expand it. you should find
f95zone.to under cookies. right-click on it and click
Clear
7.
now log into f95zone, it will create new cookies for f95zone in that Applications tab you just opened in dev tools, you should find
xf_csrf and
xf_user and some random letters next to them, which is the "
value" of those cookies. copy the value of those cookies into notepad or just keep it open and ready for the next steps
-- if you are using 2 factor authentication (2FA) then you will need to copy
xf_tfa_trust cookie aswell
8. open the settings file f95checker.json you made a shortcut for earlier in step 3
9. look for
"advanced": and under it you should find
"cookies": it should look something like this
JSON:
"cookies": {
"xf_csrf": "<value>",
"xf_user": "<value>"
}
10. replace the text after
xf_csrf and
xf_user with their cookie values you got from step 7.
Keep the quotation marks!
-- if you are using 2FA you will need to change the value for
xf_tfa_trust cookie aswell
if you dont see these cookie names under "cookies", you will need to add them.
you will need to make sure there are commas after each cookie except for the last one or else it wont work as the formatting is sensitive. if you make a mistake it will say the file is "corrupted" and will restore it so it won't break anything but you might lose your games list so maybe create a copy before you make changes?
11.
save the file and you should be ready to go! you can close your browser after you've copied the cookie values
if this didn't work, you may need to clear your browser's cache and cookies for f95zone and log in again then retry the steps. (quick google search will help, be aware that clearing cache and cookies for your whole browser instead of just for f95zone will log you out of all your websites)
And if it stops working just repeat these steps. I believe it should last a while before you need to redo it though.
Just to reiterate, dont share your cookies or anything in devtools and dont type anything anyone tells you to type in devtools unless you know what you are doing!
