Using Jagex Accounts

Using Jagex Accounts

If you have converted your account to a Jagex Account and can no longer login directly to RuneLite, but want to do RuneLite development, follow this guide:

1. Make sure your RuneLite launcher is version 2.6.3 or newer
2. For Windows, run RuneLite (configure) from the start menu. Otherwise, pass --configure to the launcher (i.e. /Applications/RuneLite.app/Contents/MacOS/RuneLite --configure on Mac).
3. In the Client arguments input box add --insecure-write-credentials
4. Click Save
5. Launch RuneLite via the Jagex launcher. RuneLite will write your launcher credentials to .runelite/credentials.properties. These credentials can be used to login into your account directly, bypassing your password. Do not share this file with anyone.
6. Launch RuneLite client (eg. via the IDE) and it will use the saved credentials.

Once you've finished development you can delete the credentials.properties file to return your Runelite back to normal. If for any reason you need to invalidate the credentials, you can use the "End sessions" button under account settings on runescape.com.
