Hi, I'm curious about this "personalized code" mentioned in the announcement thread. According to the text, this code is necessary to be included in the E-Mail for booking and is generated by the app that will also generate the E-Mail. Am I right to assume that the code is generated based on your EF registration? Meaning that it can't be retrieved any other way but through generating the booking E-Mail with the app? Which in turn means that you will have to use the app to generate that E-Mail, and won't be able to write it yourself?

Just a question regarding the announcement.
The "personalised password" will be an individual password or like the previous years just the same for everyone and those who get the email first, tell their friends who are still waiting for their confirmation!?
2016 was a bit unfair, because it was also said "personal phrase" and it turned out to be "eurofurence 22".
I am just curious about that.
Everything else is crystal clear.

The app is just a web app, that is, it runs in your browser just like the registration system.
And yes, you will need to use it in order to generate the email and get access to your code, because the hotel will need to process a large number of emails in a short time, and it saves them a tremendous amount of time if they all have identical structure.

The "App" (aka Javascript Web Page) will help you write the mail and provide you with a template, including your data and this personalized code, but the final mail has to be sent by you.
This means you're free to modify the mail any way you see fit, though the hotel might be happier if they can more quickly process those identical-looking mails.
