LootLocker supports a variety of authentication methods for games of any type. Authentication verifies a player using a specific identifier or third-party service and registers a session on login. A session is required before you can use any other LootLocker feature.
LootLocker offers three types of authentication: Guest Login, Platform Login, and White Label Login. Choose the right one based on your game's requirements and target platforms.
Guest Login
Assigns each player a unique ID for quick, seamless access. Common in web or mobile games where fast entry matters more than secure identity verification. Since the ID isn't tied to a username and password, it isn't suited for games that require verified accounts.
Platform Login
Authenticates through first-party platforms such as Steam, Xbox, and Apple, using the player's Platform ID to register their session. Use this for games integrated with an established platform ecosystem.
White Label Login
Gives players a custom username and password account created directly within your game, giving you full control over account management. Use this for games that need a standalone authentication system independent of any platform.
Use Cases
- Let a player access the same profile from multiple platforms
- Give players a standalone account not tied to a platform
- Get players into the game quickly with minimal friction
