====Password====

You '''must set a password''' on your POS shield in order for the POS bubble to function properly and keep people out of the bubble who aren't allowed in. ~~If someone guesses~~ or ~~knows your~~ password, ~~they~~ can ~~enter the~~ POS bubble ~~and bump AFK pilots or empty ships outside~~ the ~~bubble~~ or ~~board and steal empty ships~~.

You '''must set a password''' on your POS shield in order for the POS bubble to function properly and keep people out of the bubble who aren't allowed in. There are two ways to set the POS bubble password. You can either right-click on the tower in space and choose "set password" or you can set the password in the tower management UI. Once set, you can use it as an "open" secret to allow non-corp/non-alliance pilots to shelter inside your POS bubble. This password only allows them to pass through the boundary, it does not protect them from offensive systems or grant them access to storage modules such as [[POS Structures#Corporate Hangar Array|corporate hangars]].

~~- Is this~~ the ~~same~~ password ~~as if~~ you right-click on ~~the tower~~ in space?

Corp/Alliance members should be granted access to the POS via the [[POS Warfare#Restriction Masks|Restriction Masks]].

Be aware that if a spy guesses or knows your password, they can enter the POS bubble and bump AFK pilots or empty ships outside the bubble or board and steal empty ships.

If the tower manager changes the POS password and you were not granted access via the restriction masks, you will be immediately kicked outside of the POS bubble. Never go AFK in lo-sec or null-sec space at a POS.

In order for a non-alliance/non-corp pilot to enter the POS bubble, they will need to right-click on their ship in space and choose "Enter Starbase Forcefield Password...". This setting is not sticky and gets cleared if you eject from the ship, logout, or at downtime. This means that their ship will be ejected from the POS bubble when the password gets cleared due to those conditions.

- what about passwords getting cleared if you disconnect?
