I'll try to keep this short and sweet to the point.
I clicked on a fake Runelite plugin link that a guy in this discord sent me.
He was telling me to check out updated plug-ins coming and all sorts of jazz.

Well come to find out, it's a phissing link. Go figure right?
Moral is, I'm not asking for my items back.
I'm fine with being cleaned for my mistake.

My ISSUE on the other hand is?
He now has a .Credentials file that has my account ID/Login token
Whatever else, and with that he even showed me...

He can drop it in his .runelite folder, and load runelites bare launcher.
And 1 click sign into my account now bypassing 2FA, bypassing my E-Mail & Password, and bypassing Jagex launcher.

Not to mention he changed my name... TWICE.
So -

Can I PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. ask for help in securing my account.
I changed passwords, reset 2fa, ended all sessions, generated new back-up codes, everything possible.
And he's still able to log in with that .credentials file.
Somebody PLEASE tell me there's a way to remove that file from his PC, or corrupt it to where it doesn't work anymore. SOMETHING.

My accounts 100% comprimised rn even with 2FA and I'm scared he's gonna do something stupid with it while he has it and get me perm muted, or worse perm banned.

Thank you to whoever can help/reply in advance...
I'm seriously shaken up by this whole experience.

Hey lk2z0n6k3r9c,

Couple things, first, make sure you've secured your PC and email used to registered your account before you go forward with anything.

Second, do you have a Jagex Account, or are you still using the older style RuneScape account? When you login with the Launcher, do you see Example#1234 in the top right, or just your settings options?

Third, when you login to your account settings through the main RuneScape website, and go to "Linked Accounts" what is linked there? Whatever is, unlink it. You need to click "Manage" on Steam and Amazon to see those options. Doesn't sound like you've checked that based on your post so far. Keep it fun, friendly, and helpful.
