4️⃣ Authenticate Your First Player

The first API call you will want your game to make is verifying the player in order to register a session with LootLocker. LootLocker supports three different types of authentication methods. You'll want to select the best method depending on your game and target platforms.

We suggesting using Guest Login if you're just getting started with your game's development or still haven't decided which platform your game will be released on.

• Guest Login: This authentication method lets you assign each player a unique ID and is common for web or mobile games where getting the player into the game quickly is important.
• Platform Login: The Platform Login authentication type covers all login methods using First Party Platforms such as Steam, Xbox, and Sign in with Apple. LootLocker uses the player's authenticated Platform ID to register their session.
• White Label Login: LootLocker's White Label Login system provides your game with a custom username and password set up so each player can create their own account with your game.
