## Introduction

**Registration/Authorization** is a great way to verify the player's identity before logging in to the webstore. You can enable this feature to **prevent unauthorized access** to the webstore and ensure that only the player who owns the Minecraft account can log in.

## Syncing Minecraft Accounts with Webstore Accounts

### AuthMe Reloaded

Currently, the **Classic Auth** feature supports the **AuthMe Reloaded** plugin to sync webstore accounts with Minecraft accounts. To enable this feature, follow these steps:

1. Install the **AuthMe Reloaded** plugin on your Minecraft server.
2. Open the **AuthMe Reloaded** configuration file (`config.yml`) and set the following options:

```
DataSource:
    backend: MYSQL
    caching: false
    mysqlHost: REPLACE_WITH_HOST_IPV4
    mysqlPort: 3306
    mysqlUseSSL: false
    mysqlUsername: REPLACE_WITH_USERNAME
    mysqlPassword: REPLACE_WITH_PASSWORD
    mysqlDatabase: minestore (or your database name)
    mysqlTablename: authme_accounts
```

3. Make sure to replace the `REPLACE_WITH_HOST_IPV4`, `REPLACE_WITH_USERNAME`, and `REPLACE_WITH_PASSWORD` with your MySQL database credentials.
4. Save the changes and restart your Minecraft server.

<Warning>
  Keep in mind, you have to use the **same MySQL database** for both the **AuthMe Reloaded** plugin and **MineStoreCMS** to sync the accounts correctly.
</Warning>

<Info>
  **Note**: Make sure to open external access to your MySQL database for the **AuthMe Reloaded** plugin to connect to it. You can do this by allowing the IP address of your Minecraft server in your MySQL database settings.

### Reset Password

To let your users reset the password, you have to configure **"SMTP Settings"** in the **Settings > SMTP Settings** tab in the sidebar.
