Clan password

You have to use a comms method external to the game and suddenly you are back to square one.

You would need to use the same app/method to communicate passwords, as you would use to let someone new, know when and how to join your clan, or that a trusted member from an allied clan says “Open up, I want to come home”.

Sorry, group and shared password systems never really operate as intended, that’s why they are rarely used.

A whitelist of pre-approved player tags would work, be easy to setup if you used a current clan listing but require real effort to maintain, and currently the only process remotely similar is selecting CW participants.

To be honest I really don’t think this issue is that important or time-critical to most clans.

I'm the leader of the clan. I change the password and post a clan mail stating " I have changed the password" only those who I've made through the settings (Co leaders and leader only) would be able to see it.
I wouldn't need another app, nor would I need to broadcast it in my clan mail.
Once they seen my clan mail stating I have changed it. They click clan profile and it will state the new password in the space provided. Those who aren't set to be able to see the password will still see *********
This option isn't for new members trying to join. It's for currently members who bounce back and fourth from clans to be able to enter back into their clan with ease if they know the current password.
Thanks for your opinion though.

Sounds a bit inconvenient, when you could simply check it yourself.

Simply check what myself?

Some tweaks and you're good.

All very well but you have incorporated a second idea - the ability to apply a mass change to co-leader’s profiles - something more complicated than anything already in place in-game.

For a password system to operate, regardless of whether it is intended for new or existing members, additional features or system are needed to support it’s functioning. And that is why this idea simply will not fly.

UPDATE :
So after thinking of a few ways to do this, I thought of the what ifs that you members may come across.
With the new password feature I'm proposing the leader of the clan will have a toggle switch in which he can select who can see what the current password of the clan is. This can be set as Leader only, Leader & Co Leaders, Leader Co Leaders & Elders, Everyone.

Viewing a clan profile from members perspective, or that of a person simply scouting a clan. The info will look as follows. (I'll use my clan as a reference)
FIRST DAWN
Clan Points : 19257
Wars Won : 48
Members : 33/50
Type : Invite Only
Required Trophies : 600
Password : ***************
Who Can See Password : Leader & Co Leaders
War frequency : Always
Clan Location : International
Clan Tag : 9PU98GCP

Viewing the clan info as a Leader or Co leader, the ************* will show up as the actual password.
This gives a bit more protection as to who you select as trustworthy enough to know your clans current entry password.

I think only leader should be able to change it. And have a toggle that he sets to allow which members should be allowed to see it.
Would make it more secure that way

An entry whitelist would be so much more practical. You don't have to remember who you gave passwords to. You don't have to worry about changing passwords.

Anyone on the whitelist can join at will, space permitting.

I would want to white list all members of my inactive subclan. Let them come say hi at will.

I never want to be set to "anyone can join". Randoms are not worth the trouble.

Interesting idea.

Thanks. Just from experience when I hop between my clan and a friends clan, it sucks when I'm trying to enter back into my own clan and everyone is sleeping.
