zwift-login is a simple utility which basically lets you launch Zwift without having to click any button or fill any fields in the login sequence of the game. It can be used to launch Zwift and login directly from the command line, too. |
This is how you use it…
See it demonstrated in a screencast by following this link.
Otherwise, just try it – it is really simple to use.
Launching Zwift by the press of a button…
Once the password is stored (it will be saved in a file on your harddrive) it only takes a single button press to launch Zwift and feed it your login details if you have not stored them directly in Zwift.
Zwift is launched just by pressing Launch Zwift
First time a bit of setup is required…
The first step is to store your username and password, so press Store Password (only necessary at first run or if you change your Zwift password)
Enter username and password and press Save
Now the Launch Zwift button will be enabled. Naturally, you won’t have to save the password again unless you change it in Zwift.
Zwift status and preferences alerts
At the bottom of the window you can see the current Zwift status (from the Zwift status page).
Right above that you will see alerts for certain settings in prefs.xml, which it is good to be aware of before launching Zwift of if you did not intend to have them activated in this session:
- A world icon will be shown if the world hack is used
- A full screen icon (looking like an empty frame) will be shown if the Minimal UI-setting is set
It works together with other ZwiftHacks…
zwift-login plays together with some of the other tools here on the site.
zwift-preferences
If the zwift-preferences script is installed in the same folder as zwift-login there will be a button that you can launch it with. That way you can easily make your choice of e.g. trainer resistance level, world (Watopia or Richmond) and course selection before you launch Zwift.
zwift-hotkeys
If the zwift-hotkeys script is installed in the same folder as zwift-login it will automatically be launched together with Zwift.
TR-Z-move
If the TR-Z-move script is installed in the same folder as zwift-login it will automatically be launched together with Zwift.
Using as a command line tool
Update 2018-02-05 (version 11):
zwift-login accepts a command line parameter (/launch) which makes it launch Zwift automatically with the need for pressing a button. This can be used e.g. for scheduling an unattended start of Zwift.
Run zwift-login.ahk like this:
AutoHotkey.exe zwift-login.ahk /launch
Other command line parameters:
/onlyzwift Will only launch Zwift and not look for any other ZwiftHacks scripts to launch simultaneosly.

Thanx a lot!!!
Zwift changed “RIDE” button to “LET’S GO” – can u update. please)
Already did that three days ago. You just have to download the newest version.
Thanx!!
Hi, I’m having trouble with this. I’ve downloaded the update and it’s opening the Zwift program fine, but it’s not hitting the ‘Let’s Go’ button.
It may be that it is resolved simply by closing the Zwift launcher (by right clicking the icon in the notification area and choosing exit) because Zwift sometimes end up in a special state after an update. Then Zwift and the Zwift launcher run with elevated rights (as administrator) and does not respond to keypresses and command from another process (zwift-login) which is not elevated itself.
If this does not help, please let me know and I can look further into it.
Hi Jesper!
Thanks for the reply and the help – though I confess I haven’t carried it out. I uninstalled everything and then re-installed it and it seems to work now, though I can’t put my finger on what I’ve done differently.
Thanks for the system you’ve (and anyone else has) put together, it is helpful.

How can I use zwift-login if I install Zwift app on a custom path like D:\Zwift
I found the path dir on row 525-542, but I can’t modify it by myself
You have two options:
1) Modify the script
2) Make the standard location for Zwift a symbolic link to your custom location
Here is how to do it:
Option 1 – Modify the script
Open your copy zwift-login.ahk in Notepad and change the script in line 527, 534, and 540 from
EnvGet, pf, ProgramFiles(x86)to
pf := "D:"You can simply use search and replace to make the change.
Option 2 – Make a symbolic link
Open a Cmd or Powershell window (as administrator).
Use mklink to create the link:
mklink /D "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Zwift" "d:\zwift"Option 1 works well ，thank you
Hi,
is it possible to create different shortcuts for different users, f.e. one Desktop Icon that starts login with my account and another icon that starts Zwift with a different account? I’ve already tried to create to versions of the Zwift-login.ahk file which refer to two different ini files, but when I start it from the command line (autohotkey.exe “C:\Users\xyz\Documents\Zwift\Scripts\zwift-login-xyz.ahk” /launch) Zwift always logs in with the latest active account. Is there any solution? Thanks in advance
Yes, it can work. The solution is to never let Zwift remember the user but instead only store usernames and passwords in zwift-login.
To make Zwift forget the user you can do the following:
Launch Zwift from the start menu
In the ‘Welcome!’ screen with the ‘Let’s go’ button press ‘Change user’
Enter your password, remove the check mark from ‘Remember me’, and press ‘Log in’
When the ‘Welcome!’ screen appears again, close it by clicking on the X in the top right corner.
Hi,
the login script doesn`t pass the Sign-in screen any longer. I have to sign in manually; deinstall and reinstall of the script as well as of Auto Hotkey didn`t make things better. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks a lot!
It may be that it is resolved simply by closing the Zwift launcher (by right clicking the icon in the notification area and choosing exit) because Zwift sometimes end up in a special state after an update. Then Zwift and the Zwift launcher run with elevated rights (as administrator) and does not respond to keypresses and command from another process (zwift-login) which is not elevated itself.
If this does not help, please let me know.
Hi Jesper,
thanks for the reply; unfortunately closing the Zwift Launcher doesn`t help, I tried this option already as you proposed it a few posts before, but without success. I forgot to mention it in my first request.
If you are using the latest version of zwift-login and has restarted your PC I don’t have a good explanation why it doesn’t work. I just tested it this morning without any problems. I’ll have to think about what you can try next.
