Authentication

PreviousOverviewNextHow To

Last updated 5 months ago

LootLocker supports a variety of Authentication methods designed for games of all types. This feature authenticates players using a specific identifier or third-party service, registering a session upon login. Authentication is essential for managing player sessions and unlocking access to all other LootLocker features.

LootLocker offers three types of authentication: Guest Login, Platform Login, and White Label Login. Choosing the right option depends on your game’s requirements and target platforms.

Guest Login

Guest Login assigns each player a unique ID, providing quick and seamless access. Commonly used in web or mobile games, this method prioritizes fast entry without the need for a traditional login. However, since the unique player ID is not tied to a username and password, it’s not intended for games that require secure identity verification.

Platform Login

Platform Login supports authentication through First Party Platforms such as Steam, Xbox, and Apple. This method uses the player’s Platform ID to register their session, making it ideal for games integrated with established platform ecosystems.

White Label Login

White Label Login provides a custom username and password setup, allowing players to create personal accounts directly within your game. This method offers more control over player account management, making it suitable for games that require a standalone authentication system.

If you’re considering cross-platform support, explore to enable players to link multiple authentication methods, ensuring seamless cross-platform experiences.

Use Cases

  • Cross-platform accounts

  • Username / Password login

  • Simple login for mobile & web games
