'''Friend Codes''' are strings of twelve numbers used to allow access to another person's [[town]] during online play, more commonly known as [[Wi-Fi]]. Both [[player]]s must have registered each other. A friend code looks like ####-####-####, or ????-????-???? in {{WW}}. #s and ?s represent numbers. To get one's friend code, they must go to the [[Town Gate]] and talk to [[Copper]]. They then must select "Friend Code!" and he will then assign them a friend code, though they must have Wi-Fi Connection from a router or USB cable for it to work. Once the friend code is obtained, a person can trade their code with a friend and visit each others towns. If only one person has registered the code, it will not work. Also, be careful if you move out of your town with a friend that friend will also have to move out of their town.

In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, Friend Codes must be assigned by speaking to [[Copper]] at the [[Town Gate]] and selecting "Friend Code!".

'''Avoid inviting people you don't trust'''- If you give people you don't know your friend code, they have the ability to come to your town, chop down all your trees, steal flowers and other items, dig up holes everywhere, pick up your patterns you've worked so hard to lay down, and even hack your town by putting house and building seeds so you can't play in it anymore, known as destroying your town, if they wanted to. They commonly do this by asking you to play hide-and-seek- ''don't do it''! If you want to play hide-and-seek in the [[Museum]], your chocies are play with someone you really, ''really'' trust, or with the town's residents. Even if you turn off the power without saving, everything still stays the same since on WFC, everything saves automatically as you go. But remember: not all people are like this. Some simply want to explore another town, maybe get some new fruit, or look at some potential buys at Tom Nook's shop. We're not telling to not share your friend code; just be careful.

A player's Friend Code in Animal Crossing: City Folk

Friend Codes are strings of twelve digits used to allow access to another person's town during online play in Animal Crossing: Wild World, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, Friend Codes must be assigned by speaking to Copper at the Town Gate and selecting "Friend Code!". Once selected, Copper will attempt to connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to assign a code; however, due to the termination of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in 2014, it is no longer possible to receive a Friend Code in Wild World and City Folk.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Friend Codes are instead on a system level and are automatically assigned when the games' respective consoles are connected to the internet.
