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 for details.
