Your Matrix ID
Every Plauder.Party user has a unique Matrix ID:
@user:plauder.party
- @ marks a Matrix address
- user is your chosen name on our homeserver
- plauder.party is the server (homeserver) where your account lives
Your Matrix ID works like an address for direct messages, room invites, and signing in to clients.

Cinny (recommended)
Cinny is the primary web and desktop client for Plauder.Party. Desktop builds are on cinny.in - set homeserver plauder.party when logging in.
Element and other clients
With Element or FluffyChat:
- Choose Sign in → Use custom server (wording may vary).
- Enter https://matrix.plauder.party or plauder.party as the homeserver (adjust URL to match your deployment).
- Sign in with your Matrix ID and password.
Signing in on a second device
- Install a client or open the web client.
- Select homeserver plauder.party.
- Sign in with Matrix ID and password.
- In encrypted rooms: sync encryption keys (QR code, passphrase, or key export - depends on the client).
Devices & security
- End-to-end encryption (E2EE): In encrypted rooms, messages are readable only by participants. Back up your keys - otherwise you cannot decrypt old messages on new devices.
- Review devices: Under Settings → Devices (or Sessions) you see all signed-in clients.
- Sign out unknown devices and change your password if you suspect abuse.
- Enable two-factor authentication if your client and homeserver support it.
Forgot your password?
- Open the login screen in the web client.
- Choose Forgot password.
- You need access to the email address used during registration.
If you are stuck, contact the platform operators (see the home page).
Deleting your account
To remove your account, contact the operators via the channels on the main site. A Matrix account cannot always be fully erased without traces remaining in shared rooms - moderators can explain the process.
