# Authentication
|

|
|
|

When you have a multiplayer game, often you need to store information about your player for later games, keep game stats or communicate with your friends. For all these use cases, you often need a way to uniquely identify a user. Being able to tell users apart is called authentication. There are several methods available, some examples include:
|
||
|
|
- Ask the user for username and password
|
||
|
|
- Use a third party oath or OpenID identity provider, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google
|
||
|
|
- Use a third party service such as PlayFab, GameLift or Steam
|
||
|
|
- Use the device id, very popular method in mobile
|
||
|
|
- Use Google Play in Android
|
||
|
|
- Use Game Center in IOS
|
||
|
|
- Use a web service in your website
|

|

In addition to the Authenticators listed below, you can make your own! Check out this [Guide](../../Guides/Authentication.md) for details.
