Backing up your registered/authenticated user name

We have all had our fair share of computer failures or we get that new shinny computer. But when you try to login into TWiTCraft Mumble it asks you for a password now. Well this happened because it's looking for a certificate which is not on your new computer or re done computer. Well in order for you to use your username you would have to contact Curley. But in this quick guide it will show you how to recover it and back it up.

1. In your documents folder you should see a file called 'MumbleAutomaticCertificateBackup.p12' This is where your registered name is stored.
Image
2. Back up this file to a flash drive or what ever you use to back up files on your computer.
3. Don't let this file get out of your reach. If you let someone else have it then can login as you.

Restoring the Certificate
1. When you want to restore a certificate head to the 'Configure' Menu
Image
2. Then click 'Certificate Wizard'
3. You should see a window like this. Then hit 'Import a Certificate'.
Image
4. Then hit 'Continue'
5. You should see a window like this click 'Open' and then locate where you have saved your certificate.
Image
6. Follow the guide like so then you are done.
