Launcher v2.5.7: Choose Your Reforged Login
Play Aethro Launcher v2.5.7 is now available. This update gives new Aethro: Reforged players more control over their first login setup.
What changed
- You can now choose your own Reforged game username when setting up your game password.
- Your Reforged username is separate from your character name.
- Usernames support 3–16 letters and numbers; passwords support 8–16 letters and numbers.
- The launcher checks these details before saving, so setup is clearer and faster.
Email and password sign-up is here
You can now create an Aethro.net account with an email address and password, in addition to signing in with Discord or Google.
OAuth sign-in is still a secure, widely used option, it means you do not need to give Aethro your third party password. But apparently the terrifying prospect of clicking “Continue with Google” has proven too much for some of you. We hear you. Email/password accounts are now available for anyone who prefers the old school route.
Download or update the launcher to version 2.5.7, then launch Reforged to set up your preferred game login.

oh PS - Linux install for Reforged should work ;)
