Authentication

How can I persist my login information so i don’t need to login on every startup?

One way to authenticate through Zwift automatically, is to add the username and password to $HOME/.config/zwift/config:

ZWIFT_USERNAME='username'
ZWIFT_PASSWORD='password'

Where username is your zwift account email, and password your zwift account password, respectively.

This however has the disadvantage that your password is written in plain text in the config file. Alternatively, instead of saving your password in the config file, you can store it securely in the secret service keyring like so:

secret-tool store --label "Zwift password for ${ZWIFT_USERNAME}" application zwift username ${ZWIFT_USERNAME}

In this case the username should still be saved in the config file.

It is recommended to save your password securely in the secret store and add your username to the config file.

How can I update my persisted password?

Update your password

• If you stored your password in the config file, simply update the ZWIFT_PASSWORD value there.

• If you stored your password in the Linux secret store, overwrite it:

  secret-tool store --label "Zwift password for ${ZWIFT_USERNAME}" application zwift username ${ZWIFT_USERNAME}
  

Podman

If you are using podman, you need to remove your password from the podman secret store.

podman secret rm zwift-password-$ZWIFT_USERNAME
