Hello Capsuleers. Please take the following text seriously. In the near future, a number of sites will be able to use the single sign-on system EVE Online(Single Sign On, SSO). What is meant by these words and how exactly does this apply to you personally?
Single sign-on systems provide the ability to log in to a site on the Internet using the authorization data of another site. For example, go to https://www,googlereads.com and sign in. When you try to sign in, you will be prompted to introduce yourself as a user of Facebook, Twitter, Google, or even Amazon. From the point of view of the Googlereads site, this saves the site from having to store data that authorizes you. From the user's point of view, the entrance to the site is greatly facilitated, since there is no need to register and remember new combinations of accounts and passwords for them. Thus, the process of entering the site is greatly simplified for both parties.
The EVE Online single sign-on system will allow you to log into a properly tooled website, telling you that you (an EVE Online subscriber) owns a certain playable character. In the process of entering the site, you will be asked which pilot you wish to introduce yourself as; in turn, the site using EVE SSO will receive confirmation from CCP that you really own this character. Your account name and password will remain outside the visibility of a third-party site; he will receive only the name of the pilot. He will not know to which account the character you specified is assigned. In addition, he will not be able to match the specified character with other characters on the same account - we will keep all this data confidential.
EVE Online SSO looks like this:
Great, but what do you care? You're just playing Eve, aren't you? The bottom line is that this page will soon become part of a number of third-party sites. You absolutely need to know how to avoid attempts to cheat and steal your account information. Previously, the single sign-on system was used only by the official sites of EVE Online; if a similar page appeared anywhere else, the very fact was already enough to stop and not enter the required data. As we intend to expand the scope of SSO in the near future, we would like to make sure that all users are fully aware of the necessary security measures when identifying themselves as an EVE Online subscriber.
Necessary security measures
The single sign-on system is the guard at the gate. In our case, it protects the right to access your virtual identity. Unfortunately, the Internet is full of scammers and scammers who are just waiting to profit from this data. They will stop at nothing to realize their plans to the best of their imagination. There will be attempts to deceive you into revealing your account information by provoking you to do so through both social and technical means, through phishing and the creation of spoof sites and Internet portals that only pretend to be well-intentioned and reliable.
How to protect yourself from information theft? Now we have at our disposal a sufficient number of information technology solutions related to secure connections and security on communication lines. Using these features, we will be able to provide you with data that will enable you to determine if you are being attacked in this moment. In this case, the precautions will look like this:
Before entering account information, make sure that you are connected to the correct Internet site using a secure connection.
Only one site (one combination of domain name and hosting name) can be considered a trusted site for entering account information: login.eveonline.com transmit unprotected data.
This is an example of the window displayed when clicking on the padlock icon to the left of the hyperlink field in Chrome. Such information will be provided by any modern browser; so you can get familiar with trusted relationships established connection and with the degree of its encryption.
Manual certificate validation
By manually checking the certificate of the Internet entity you are connecting to, you can confirm that the certificate is not expired and is applicable to the network address being used.
By following these instructions, you can reduce the risk of account data (and, as a result, virtual identity) theft. In addition, we ask that you report any false, misleading, or simply dubious use of single sign-on at Email [email protected]
Trial run of single sign-on
In mid-May, we began collecting applications for participation in a trial run of the EVE Online single sign-on system. Several Internet sites were selected by us and took part in this launch; they were given the information they needed to connect to the system. The trial run is limited to a narrow circle of sites, but the documentation used is open and available to everyone.
The first phase of the trial run of the system is completed; on it, we provided documentation and procedures for using the system to participants in this stage. Based on the feedback received, we made certain decisions and made corrections to the created system. At the moment, the second stage of the trial run of the system is underway; we provide access to the single entry system for pilots from the test EVE servers online. The process of connecting sites to the single sign-on system has already begun, and will continue throughout July. During this time, pilots of the EVE Online test server ("Singularity") will be able to visit them. If everything goes according to plan, in August, participants in the trial run will be able to let pilots in from the main EVE server, that is, from Tranquility. Further, we plan to open a single sign-on system for everyone - however, the exact timing of the implementation of the plan is still unknown; we will move on to this stage no earlier than we make sure that the tools provided are impeccable.
So, users have already become familiar with what EVE Online is. And we are sure that we wanted to try our abilities in the infinite and dynamic Universe of the game. And in order for an article to be part of the gaming community, you need to create your own account, which will provide indirect control of the game. EVE Online Account Management is also called an account manager. What does he represent?

If we draw an analogy, then Personal Area in Eve is the user's personal page, which allows you to control things that are responsible for playing time (subscription), user's personal data (passwords, payments made, full name), and is also responsible for changing the appearance of the selected character, the possibility of transferring it to another account, etc.

Registering for any online game requires you to create your own account. This is necessary both to identify the user in the system and to get the opportunity to become a player of an online computer game. What is an EVE Online account?
An account or user account in EVE Online is the player's personal page, where you can get the necessary information (view the payment log) and carry out the necessary operations (subscription payment, entering access keys, etc.). But in order to use these functions, you must register in the system.
How do I create an EVE Online account?
There are two ways to register for an EVE Online account. The first involves registration after purchasing a licensed disc, the second - after downloading the game from the Internet.
If you purchased a license disc, go to the special EVE Online keys activation page, then follow these steps:
- Enter the code that comes with the game.
- Select the "New Player" section to create a new account.
- Specify the personal information that will be contained in your account.
- After registering, you will receive data that you can use to log into your account.
If the game was downloaded from the Internet, you must perform the following steps:
- Go to your EVE Online personal account, select the section "Subscription to the game" → "Payment for a subscription";
- You will see a page where you initially need to specify personal data, then - subscription payment methods, and after that a letter will be sent to the specified e-mail containing detailed information about using a subscription.
Briefly about the status of "Alpha" and "Omega"
The game developers provided for the possibility of changing the status of the account - "Alpha" and "Omega". You can create a free account in EVE Online in the status of "Alpha" (unlimited trial of the game) or a full-fledged "Omega" account by immediately purchasing a subscription. The difference is usually only in additional gifts and the absence of restrictions in the trial "Alpha" account.
There are questions about whether it is necessary to change the information and data in the account when changing the status from "Alpha" to "Omega". The information can change only if the player chooses not the subscription renewal function, but other payment methods for playing time (plexes, time codes). In the opposite case, the user's account contains data on the method of payment and invoicing for automatic renewal of the subscription.
Password recovery and account information change
After the player registers in the gaming system and gets access to own account, you can change some data. After logging into your account, you can see the following items:
- EVE Online account. It contains basic account information and data for changing the password;
- Play time. In this section, you can choose the duration of the subscription, pay for playing time and check the current status;
- Services. In this section, the functions of transferring a character to other accounts and selling time codes are available.
If the player has forgotten the password, it can be restored in a standard way. Next to the "Login" button there is a link "Forgot your password?". We click on it, indicate the email address and username, and then an updated password will be sent to the mail to change.
