I did paste the code over the actual password by using ctrl+v, worked fine. So my guess maybe they clicked on the dots and made the old game password "unselected" and pasted the code in the middle of the used game password.

Not all players uses forums, or even knows how to navigate a forum. Heck, some may even not know LFS has a forum
Therefore they may not have heard about the game password change and just tried to enter their old game password. I just activated two of my accounts with the unlock code and that worked just fine.
Good change.
First of all, thank you for your help and offer my best regards. It was an honor and a pleasure to have you respond and assist me. Thank you, I have now received my license. Thank you!
No problems here when i did it, and took maybe 2 mins max to do from start to finish.
Straight forward honestly
Hi, this is my first message, the "unlock code" not work in lfs editor (i copy the code from gmail but not work)
I think this is a good point. Scawen did try to make it visible by adding a fake event into the LFS calendar. What about sending out newsletter emails after such an important change? Or is that planned only after a new official patch?
This is sad from Scawen after 20 years a system like this is being created!!!!!!! You must cancel this system and restore the old system.
Do you want less security of people's LFS accounts and a bigger probability of them being hijacked and stolen in case of another 3rd party site data leak?
Your post adds no value, at least add some reasoning to your claim.
The new system works easy and as thousands of leaked accounts were there it was needed, no doubt.
It took less than a minute to enter the new unlock code, all fine so far. My personal problem is my
second account as I had to create a different e-mail back in january 2008. I never visited that e-mail
again after that and when I tried to login now for unlock code the site told me "E-mail does not exist."
So, all I can do for now is to wait one week and hope It can be solved by changing the e-mail.
I only ask to allow to use my original e-mail, the one I use for this main account. I really dont want to
use or create a different e-mail account just to be able to use my second LFS account. Greetings P V L.

Is there some reason you'd want accounts to be easier to steal?
That doesn't change. We still need to have the limits, otherwise there will be a username and unlock code somewhere on the internet that anyone can use to freely access LFS content.
I've checked and it does work. Some people have had this, when it apparently does not work, but does work when they try again. Please make sure there are 20 characters (blobs) in the GAME password field before you click "unlock".
Today I will improve LFS.exe:
- insist on the correct number of characters (to reduce copy and paste errors)
- provide an "EYE" button to show the unlock code
- update the translations
I prefer not to send a newsletter yet, I think it would be better when there is a patch and we've made sure there are no bugs in the system.
