Additional Context

the ui hangs if < 6 characters are inputted in the authentication popup. not sure why. the server rejects new passwords less than 6 characters in length but people cannot know that. maybe displaying more information in case of server errors will fix such communication issues. also see https://auth.uncivserver.xyz/tools

Okay so, I'm ready to handle this
How do I get the the authentication input?

[touhidurrr]

https://auth.uncivserver.xyz is the auth server url. you can set a password for a random uuid in multiplayer settings. After that, remove the password from GameSettings.json and start the client again and an auth popup will appear. Now you can test with wrong passwords.

[touhidurrr]

ok. https://auth.uncivserver.xyz is online again. render keeps disabling my services so I moved it to koyeb.

Also, kindly consider making a popup ui that does this and use it anywhere where response errors are shown. This will make debugging easier.

First issue I notice is that the initial password can be one character, but subsequent ones need to be 6 characters?
Second issue: When I "initially authenticate" the second time with a different password, it's cool with it, I get a success?
I think the entire authentication path has not been tested extensively

[touhidurrr]

The initial password can be 0 characters actually. Without a password set, the GET /auth route always returns true. After a password has been set, it returns true or false after validating the password.

Ok, so I added comprehensive testing to ensure the behavior is consistent. You can try again now. Now, 0 character passwords should be accepted initially after a minor fix. touhidurrr/UncivServer.xyz@a575aa8
