Activation Help!

Hello Penguins,

We have had some people who are having trouble getting their activation codes. We have learned that Yahoo and Hotmail will almost always dump the activation email into the "Bulk" folder or the "Junk" folder. Please check those folders in your email program to find the activation code.

We have also learned that a lot of people enter email addresses that don't exist or that dont recieve email. Please make sure you enter a valid email address.

Also, you must activate your account (through the email) before you can get onto Club Penguin. This has changed from Penguin Chat. If you have tried everything and you still can get on, try this:

Try to login and when you get to the page with that says "Activation Required"
Please click on "lost your code" to get it resent.

If that still doesn't work, send an email to support@clubpenguin.com

Thanks for your patience with this.

Waddle on!

Attention Penguins!

Hello Penguins!

Just two more days until launch!! Please make sure you have activated your account. We will give you until one week after launch and then we will delete all non-activated accounts. Because of all the cloning, there are almost 10 accounts for every beta tester! That means a lot of names and penguins that are being wasted.

If you have successfully logged into Club Penguin in the last two weeks you don't need to worry, but if you haven't yet, please do as soon as possible.

If you are still having trouble activating an account, please send an email to support@clubpenguin.com and we will work to get that figured out for you.

Thanks and Waddle-on!

A little confusing...

When we added account authentication there was a feature added that allows parents of young children to restrict chatting to "easy-chat" only. We later realized that it automatically went to that method unless you changed it, so if you didn't read it and select the other method, you won't be able to chat.

So here's what to do if you meant to select "open-chat".

1. Log Into Club Penguin

2. Click on the "?" button in the menu bar


3. Click on the "edit account" button


4. Click on the "Safe Chat Level"


5. Please read and select the correct one. If a "parent password" box comes up, it means you entered a password into that box when you set up your account. You will need to enter the same password again to make the change.

Sorry for the confusion, hope this helps!
