in the .uxplay startup file, where it is stored as cleartext.) All users

access can be controlled with a password. If a password *pwd* (of length
at least six characters) is set when uxplay starts (usually set in the
startup file, where it is stored as cleartext), all users must know this
password to connect to UxPlay (the client prompts for it). This method
uses HTTP md5 Digest authentication, which is now regarded as providing
weak security, but it is only used to validate the uxplay password, and
no user credentials are exposed. After a successful authentication, the
client stores the password, and will use it initially for future
authentications without prompting, so long as the UxPlay deviceID has
not changed (this initial authentication will fail if the UxPlay
password has changed). If *pwd* is **not** specified with the -pw option
when UxPlay starts, a new random 4-digit pin code is generated and
displayed on the UxPlay terminal for **each** new connection, and must
be entered on the client (there are three chances to enter it, before it
is changed). *Note: -pin and -pw are alternatives: if both are specified
at startup, the earlier of these two options is discarded.*
