Woozworld Update 16.7.4
A Faster, Safer Way to Sign In: Link Your Account to Google or Apple!
Hey Woozens!
We are always looking for ways to make your Woozworld experience smoother and more secure. That's why we're super excited to introduce our brand-new Social Sign-In (OAuth) feature!
Starting right now, you can link your existing Woozworld account to your Google or Apple account. Once linked, you can ditch your old password and log in with just one single click.
CRITICAL FIRST STEP: You Must Link First!
Before we look at the steps, there is one major rule you need to know: You must manually link your account from inside your settings first before trying to use the social sign-in buttons.
Even if the email address on your Google or Apple account matches your Woozworld email perfectly, they will not automatically connect. If you just try to click "Sign in with Google" on the login screen right away, it won't work for your existing account. Follow the steps below to set it up properly!
How to Link Your Account (Step-by-Step)
Linking your account only takes a minute, but remember: you must be logged into your account normally to do this!
Step 1: Head to Your Settings
Log into Woozworld using your regular email and password. Once you're logged in, head over to your account settings. How you get there depends on where you are playing:
- On Web: Head over to the Woozin section, click My Settings, and navigate to the Account tab. You will see the brand-new Link with Google and Link with Apple buttons:
- On Mobile: Simply open your main in-game menu and tap Settings to find the same options.
Step 2: Confirm It's Really You
Your account security is our top priority. To make sure no one else is trying to link your account to a profile they own, you'll be asked to re-verify your identity by entering your current password and answering your secret question:
Step 3: Connect with Google or Apple
Once you pass the security check, a standard secure popup from Google or Apple will appear. Simply log into the external account you want to link, and you're good to go!
What Changes Next Time You Log In?
As soon as this update goes live, the Woozworld login screen will look a little different for everyone!
You will now see the brand-new Sign in with Google and Sign in with Apple buttons located right on the login screen. Once you have successfully completed the steps to link your account, you will use these buttons to log in from that moment on!
!! Important Security Update Regarding Passwords !!
For added security, once you link your account to Google or Apple, we automatically remove the ability to sign in using your old email and password. Removing the traditional password option prevents malicious users from trying to guess your password to get into your account.
- What if I want to keep both options active? If you absolutely want to keep the ability to log in with both your traditional password and your social account, you can-but ONLY if you also activate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your account using either a passkey or a TOTP authenticator app.
IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDER
While we are always upgrading our systems to keep you safe, true security starts with you! Please remember to NEVER share your personal information, passwords, or account details with anyone-this includes your Woozworld info and your Google or Apple account details. Keep your secrets safe!
As a reminder, Woozworld staff will NEVER contact you or ask for your personal info outside of our official support channels. We will only ever communicate with you regarding account details through our official customer support email. If someone reaches out to you in-game or on social media claiming to be staff and asking for your login info, do not trust them!
More Exciting Updates!
While we were working on upgrading our sign-in security, we also snuck in a few other fantastic quality-of-life updates that we know you're going to love:
Faster Unitz Loading & Optimizations
Have you ever tried to enter a massive, complex Unitz packed with tons of games, items, and events, only to experience a bit of a slowdown? We've rolled out some major underlying game optimizations! From now on, loading, entering, and rendering even the most complex, action-packed Unitz should feel noticeably faster and smoother.
New Main Menu Audio Controls
We've streamlined how you manage your in-game sound. The Mute Audio button has found a new home directly inside the Main Menu. Even cooler? We've also added a handy live preview right there in the menu that displays the title of the music track currently playing in the Unitz!
Crafting Table Previews
No more guessing what items you are about to get! We've made a great improvement to the Crafting Table. You can now get a much better, clearer preview of items before you craft or unlock them simply by clicking on the item's preview image.
Quick FAQ
- Is it mandatory to link an existing account to Google or Apple?
- No, it is completely optional! You do not have to link your existing account to play, but we strongly suggest doing so for security reasons.
- Can I just click "Sign in with Google" on the login page right away?
- No! Make sure you follow the steps to link your account from inside your settings first. Even if your emails match perfectly, they won't auto-link on the login screen.
- Do my email addresses have to match?
- Nope! It does not matter if the email address for your Google/Apple account matches your Woozworld email. The system links the accounts directly, regardless of the email addresses used.
- Can I link multiple Woozworld accounts to one Google/Apple account?
- No. One Google or Apple account can only be linked to one single Woozworld account.
- Can I unlink my account later?
- Once you link your Woozworld account to a Google or Apple account, it is permanent and you cannot unlink them.
