Welcome Wokeye. I sent you a private message with my email. I can send you the mods and other important information.
Because Wokeye is Down Under, we might wait until Saturday to start the game. There are fewer hours in the day when we are both awake, which can delay tasks and communication. However, it would be great, Wokeye, if we were able to start tonight (Friday, Boston time).
Regarding passwords, I always set a master password just in case. Players are not required to use passwords. However, I actually prefer them, because sometimes I accidentally click another player's turn when trying to open my own. I hate that, because if there is no password, then I have to cast my eyes away and try to close the turn without saving but without really seeing the turn. Then I suffer through a 6.844 second period feeling embarrassed and dirty. So, passwords are encouraged but not required.
