This is the same username and password +combination that you use to log into the Elite: Dangerous launcher, and is required so that the Frontier servers can send the app *your* data and the market data for the station that *you* are docked at. + +You can also choose here what data to save (refer to the next section for details), whether to set up a hotkey so you don't have to switch to the app in order to “Update”, and whether to attach your Cmdr name or a [pseudo-anonymized](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonymity) ID to the data. + +You are next prompted to authenticate with a “verification code”, which you will shortly receive by email from Frontier. +Note that each “verification code” is one-time only - if you enter the code incorrectly or quit the app before +authenticating you will need to wait for Frontier to send you a new code. + +If you are not prompted to authenticate, but instead see the message “Error: Invalid Credentials” then choose the menu +option EDMarketConnector → Preferences (Mac) or File → Settings (Windows) and double-check your username and password.
