Unified Player Accounts
Unified Player Accounts (UPA) is a powerful feature set that allows players to connect multiple authentication methods, enabling seamless cross-platform and cross-device experiences such as cross-progression and cross-saves. It also makes it easy for players to upgrade from a Guest account (or any other login type) to a White Label account with your game.
UPA simplifies the complex process of managing multiple logins by providing platform authentication solutions, enabling remote login across platforms, linking multiple identity providers, and offering player-facing websites for a smooth end-user experience.
Supported Authentication Methods
Unified Player Accounts currently supports the following authentication methods:
Apple Login
Google Login
Guest Login
If you require support for additional identity providers, please contact us via Discord or email.
Key Features
UPA consists of two core features: Remote Login and Connected Accounts, each designed to create a seamless and unified player experience.
Remote Login
Remote Login allows players to log in to a platform other than the one they are currently playing on. For example, a player on Nintendo Switch can log in to their Steam account to create a LootLocker session, even if they are not currently playing on Steam. This feature is ideal for enabling cross-platform interactions and ensuring players can access their accounts wherever they play.
Connected Accounts
Connected Accounts enables players to link multiple platform accounts under a single profile. For instance, a player can connect their Steam account to their Nintendo Switch account, creating a unified profile on the LootLocker backend. Once connected, the same profile will load regardless of whether the game is started on Steam or Switch.
Auth.game
As part of the UPA workflow, players are directed to our white-label authentication website, https://auth.game, to enter the 8-digit code provided by the game and verify their identity.
