PURPOSE: A method for authenticating a user in an online game and a server thereof are provided to prevent hacking and ensure security as improving the game utilization of users. CONSTITUTION: An authentication server (20) includes an authentication unit (21) and a control unit (22). The authentication unit transmits an authentication menu, for permitting game access by authenticating a user as a valid user, to a user terminal. The authentication unit receives the identification information and password of the user from the user terminal. The authentication unit receives information about preset access conditions from the user terminal. The authentication unit extracts identification information and a password corresponding to the access conditions from a user information database, and determines whether the received identification information or password is coincident with the extracted identification information or password. If so, the control unit completes the user authentication and permits the game access.
