Candlekeep requires a "worthy" book that isn't yet in their library (or a more complete copy of one already in their library), and an accepted donation grants access for life.#Realmslore

Oh thank Ao, I was worried they’d need a new book every time you show up, the details I found weren’t that clear. How exactly do they know it’s the real visitor, though, and not someone impersonating them through magic? The monk at the gate tells them their old room is waiting for them. If they don't then head in the right direction, a senior monk secretly works a little thought-reading magic on them. (Monks who worked with them before may converse with them about past studies, too.)#Realmslore

So the only way to completely trick them is if you had the visitor’s face and copied at least some of their memories. Careful with that word "completely." There are some surprises among the ranks of the monks. ;}#Realmslore
