Launch options
Start the loader already signed in, or straight into a spoof, from a shortcut.
The options
The loader accepts four options when it starts. They only save you typing and clicking: your licence, your hardware and your requirements are checked exactly as they are when you go through the screens by hand.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
--username or -u |
Fills in the username or email on the sign-in screen. |
--password or -p |
Fills in the password. |
--auto-login |
Signs you in straight away. It only does so when both the username and the password were filled in. |
--auto-spoof |
Starts a spoof as soon as you are signed in, with the seed you have selected. If the loader still needs something from you, such as a load method, it asks as usual. |
Each option starts with two dashes and is written in lowercase. If one of them is misspelled, the loader ignores all of them and simply opens as normal.
Use them in a shortcut
-
1
Create a shortcut to the loader
Right click the loader and create a shortcut. On Windows 11, choose Show more options first, then Create shortcut.
-
2
Add your options
Right click the shortcut and open Properties. In the Target field, after the loader's path, type a space followed by the options you want.
-
3
Open the shortcut
Double click it. Windows asks for administrator rights, as it always does for the loader.
"C:\Users\You\HwidSpoofer\HwidSpoofer.exe" --username yourname --password "your password" --auto-login --auto-spoof
Keep the quotes around the loader's path, and put quotes around any value that contains a space. If you
would rather type your password each time, leave out --password and
--auto-login: your username is still filled in for you.
The same options work when you start the loader from Command Prompt, PowerShell or any other launcher.
Keep your password safe
A shortcut saves its Target field as readable text, and other programs on your PC can read the options a program was started with. Anyone who can open the shortcut's properties can read your password.
- Only save your password in a shortcut on a PC that nobody else uses.
- Never send the shortcut to anyone, or share a screenshot of its properties.
- If you think someone has seen it, change your password in your account settings.
Change your password, then update the shortcut with the new one.
Auto-spoof and rebooting
--auto-spoof starts a spoof every time the shortcut is opened. That is what you want right
after a restart, and exactly what you do not want a second time in the same boot.
If you have already spoofed since your last restart, restart first, or open the loader without
--auto-spoof.
One spoof per boot explains why.
