# Generating a Game Server Login Token (GSLT) for Garry’s Mod

Information on GSLT for GMOD

Like other Source-based games, **Garry’s Mod** servers require a **Game Server Login Token (GSLT)** to operate publicly. This token links your server to your Steam account, ensuring accountability and compliance with Steam’s Terms of Service.

To create a GSLT, you must:

-   Own **Garry’s Mod** on your Steam account.
    
-   Have a **verified phone number** attached to your account.
    
-   Have an account that is **not banned or limited**.
    
-   Stay within the **1,000-token limit** per account.

### Creating a GSLT Key

Follow these steps to generate your GSLT key and apply it to your server using the **Chip Head Panel**:

1.  Visit the [**Game Server Account Management**](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers) page.
    
2.  At the bottom of the page, enter **4000** as the **App ID** (this identifies Garry’s Mod).
    
3.  (Optional) Add a short **memo** to label your token for future reference.
    
4.  Click **Create**.
    
5.  Copy the **Login Token** that appears - this is your **GSLT key**.
