Configure Magic Links

Magic links let players sign in to White Label Login by following a link sent to their email address, instead of typing a password. This how-to sets which sign-in and sign-up methods your game offers.

The setting is game-wide. It applies everywhere players use White Label Login: in your game, on the hosted sign-in page, when upgrading an account through Unified Player Accounts, when registering for a Playtest, and through claimable links.

Open the White Label Login Platform Settings by going to Game Settings > Platforms > White Label Login, and find the Magic Link Mode setting. Select one of the following options:

Magic Link Mode setting in the White Label Login platform settings
  • Disabled: magic links are turned off. Players sign in and sign up with a password only.
  • Sign-In only: existing players can use a magic link to sign in, but new accounts still require a password. Use this to make returning easier without changing how accounts are created.
  • Sign-Up & Sign-In: magic links work for both creating and accessing accounts. Password sign-in stays available alongside it, so players can choose either method.
  • Magic Link Only: passwords are no longer offered as a sign-in option. Existing passwords remain stored on the account but can't be used to sign in. All sign-up and sign-in goes through magic links.

With magic links enabled, players go through the following steps. The email uses your White Label Login email service settings.

The sign-in page asks for an email address only, with a button to send the magic link. In Sign-Up & Sign-In and Magic Link Only modes, the same page handles both signing in and signing up.

The player receives an email with a link to create their account. The link is valid for 1 hour, and the email includes the full URL to copy into a browser if the link doesn't work.

The link opens a confirmation page. Once the player selects Complete signup, the sign-in or sign-up completes.
