VRChat has identified a security issue regarding Web Panels, and as a result, Web Panels have been disabled. We are not aware of any attempts to exploit this security issue, nor have we received reports of any users being impacted. Regardless, VRChat has decided to err on the side of caution and disable Web Panels across VRChat.

Please note, this will also affect the On Screen Keyboard — notably, international users will find that their keyboard may not function as expected. In these cases, you may need to copy and paste your username and password into the login field using the Ctrl-V shortcut to paste.

We are currently looking into our options and alternatives regarding Web Panel functionality. User security is our top priority in VRChat, and will be the primary factor behind any decisions. As always, you should maintain up-to-date anti-virus software and run regular scans.

Please note that this does not affect SyncVideoPanel or SyncVideoStream. These components do not rely on the technology behind Web Panels and will continue to function.
