An extension made to make it easier to copy the correct auth.json
values when using OF-DL.
This extension is a fork of M-rcus/OnlyFans-Cookie-Helper with some small
changes to customize it for OF-DL. I'd like to thank Marcus for all his work making the original extension.
- Download the latest
.xpi
file from the releases page. If you are prompted to install the extension, click "Add". - Otherwise, install the
.xpi
file by dragging it into the Firefox window. Click "Add" when prompted.
These steps MAY work on other Chromium-based browsers, such as: Brave, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi and Opera (to name a few). I only do simple tests on a basic Chromium install, as my primary browser is Firefox. I will not be publishing this extension to the Chrome Web Store, so you will need to install it manually.
- Download the latest chrome
.zip
file from the releases page. The.zip
file will have the prefixOF-DL_Auth_Helper-chrome-
. DO NOT download theSource code (.zip)
file. It will not work as an extension. - Extract the
.zip
file to a folder of your choice - Open the extensions page in your browser (e.g.
chrome://extensions
) - Enable "Developer mode" (usually a toggle in the top-right corner)
- Click "Load unpacked" and select the folder you extracted the
.zip
file to
Make sure you're logged into the OnlyFans website normally.
After installing the extension, click the cookie icon. A popup should show up with a JSON-formatted text field.
Right-click on the "Download auth.json" link at the bottom of the popup and click "Save link as...". Save the file
as auth.json
in your config folder (or executable folder). Overwrite the existing auth.json
file if you have one.
Alternatively, there's a "Copy to clipboard" button at the bottom of the popup that should copy the text to your clipboard.
If the "Copy to clipboard" button doesn't work, you can just copy the text manually by selecting it. Once you've copied
the text to clipboard, you can paste it into the auth.json
file in your config folder (or executable folder).
Overview of permissions and why they're required.
cookies
- Values such as
auth_id
andsess
are contained within cookies. - Keep in mind that the
cookies
permission only applies foronlyfans.com
and no other websites.
- Values such as
clipboardWrite
- To copy the
auth.json
values into your clipboard
- To copy the
storage
- This is specifically just to "synchronize" the
x_bc
value to the popup (so it can be copied). x_bc
isn't available via the regularcookies
permission, so we need a workaround (which utilizes thestorage
permission).
- This is specifically just to "synchronize" the
contextualIdentities
- On Firefox, it's used to support multi-account containers.
