How are V3 TamaTown passwords generated?

[dancinkayley]

G'day! Do you want to find out how the Tamatown passwords are generated? Help us all!

First, go to TamaTown and type in whatever you want as your username. It doesn't matter if it matches your Tamagotchi. You'll get a passport code. You can get a few passport codes if you'd like, then go to the shop and go to forever Tamagotchi and click the shoes. Not the Tama Says shoes, the shoes that you can actually buy. Get a few of these passwords too. Tell us the username/password combinations, and we may be able to work it out from there!

This is my theory: Each letter is worth certain numbers. So an M may be worth, say 72. Like e-Tamago, your passwords may be generated depending on these numbers and a number code that each item gives. Say, a passport may be 6070.

If that's true let's find out what we can make out of this. If this is true let's find out what our usernames are and what the item codes are!

Let's begin!

Username: MAUDE

Passport Codes:

32360

08660

30088

07135

28616

09493

Shoes Codes:

44360

35009

76866

57154

81704

37518

Discovery: For the passports, the first digit on the bottom row was always a 0. For the shoes, in codes 1 and 2, the fourth digit on the top line was a 6 and for codes 2 and 3 the second digit on the bottom row was a 7.

Username: ICHI

Passport Codes:

24228

56269

12046

16489

33540

59606

Shoes Codes:

24548

63251

79780

44941

60612

83304

Discovery: For the first 2 passport codes the final digit on the bottom row were both nines. For the first and third code, the first digit on the bottom row are both fives. For the shoes codes, for code 1 and 2, the final digit on the bottom row are both ones. I don't see the resemblance between code 3 and any other code. Can you?

Username: TAMA

Passport Codes:

81617

27773

39569

01367

07771

71562

Shoes Codes:

85499

53705

22619

54882

78747

52144

Discovery: I can't see much resemblance between passport codes, other than the triple 7 in the first and third code. In the shoe codes, the first digit on the bottom row is a five for every single one! Interesting!

So, just get going and see what we can do, TamaTalkers!

I'll donate my collection to you since I don't have the time to crack it.

Here are Passport passwords for user name "TMGC!" that I recorded. I've posted them in four columns, so they don't stretch the page down too far. Passwords read left to right, five digits, space, five digits. For example, 00411 75590 is a password.

In addition, I'll post some of my findings here:

Finding 1: order of letters in username matters. Using "TMGC!" codes when username is "TGMC!" doesn't work. So (1) it's not a simple sum of username letters and (2) all letters must be there, and in the correct order.

Finding 2: Upper / lower case doesn't matter. Entering "tmgc!" into TamaTown results in passwords that work on my Tamagotchi. Entering "TMGC!" into TamaTown also results in passwords that work on my Tamagotchi.

Finding 3: There seems to be around 500 different passwords for each item. This is based on the number of repeat passwords found while compiling the list above. I started with a list of 200 Passport passwords. I got 20 more. 8 of those 20 were matches for ones already in the list of 200.

Finding 4: For some usernames, the 5th digit of the password is always even, and for other usernames, the 5th digit of the password is always odd.

So, your username was TMGC! for all those passwords?

I have a question: If I get 1 or 2 more V3s, will those passwords work on them? I hope so!

 

[dancinkayley]

That's a lot of passwords! I tried figuring out some passwords for different usernames by entering different usernames on Tamatown and finding the same item.

It seems as though Tamatown generates random passwords that work!

 

[irene]

how did u get all those codes???

 

[Kaygotchi]

Well, if you have a V3, you can go to tamatown.com and enter your username of your tama. Then you can play games and things to get passwords, or codes. Once you have them (they are 10 digit numbers, like 10056)

12643) you can go to your tamagotchi and go to the games icon, go to password, and enter it. Then you can see your souvenior under souvenior under the games icon also. but you can't use them.

 

[mimitchi&hanatchilover]

Exciting! I hope I can buy another V3 and record my findings!!

 

[Denryuu]

I have a question: If I get 1 or 2 more V3s, will those passwords work on them? I hope so!

If they have the same username, the passwords will work.

Anyway, you'd need a LOT of passowords to eliminate the posibility that repeating numbers in the same slots are coincidences. I'd volunteer to get some passwords, but I don't have much time.... I'll see how many diferrent passwords I can get on the same item with the same username or something.

Interesting...

My friend had some codes. The fifth digit for her passwords for Tamatown were always odd, but for the passwords for her Tamagotchi the fifth digits were always even.

How does BanDai make these seem to be coincidences that work anyway?

Here are my passport codes, for my username, MAUDE... MUADE didn't work for me as expected.

04450 55349
08136 03477
25192 11060
26530 81419
37858 47601
48866 66297
86344 28857

My fifth digit is even. Why is it even? Let's try a letters for numbers code...

M (13) + A (1) + U (21) + D (4) + E (5)= 44. Even.

For you, let's try ! being 27 and then ! being 28.

T (20) + M (13) + G (7) + C (3) + ! (27)= 70. Even.

Basically if ! was 28, you'd be Odd.

I'm going to try these usernames: Ichi, Lore!, Yummy and Name?.

Ichi is Even.

I (9) + C (3) + H (8)+ I (9) + (0)= 29. A blank must be an odd number in this case. Let's just say it's 27.

Lore! is Odd.

L (12) + O (15) + R (18) + E (5) + ! (28)= 78. Hmm?

Yummy is Even.

Y (25) + U (21) + M (13) + M (13) + Y (25)= 77. That's not saying much.

Name? is Odd.

N (14) + A (1) + M (13) + E (5) + ? (27 or 29 or even 30)= 60 or 62 or even 63. Hmm.

Some you can add up the two digits and you get the odd or even number or whatever. I don't know. (Why did I just do that?)
