💬 Learn how to use Unity Authentication, it lets you sign in your player (anonymously and without friction), and generate a unique user id which you can then use to interact with all the various Unity Gaming Services like Cloud Save, Multiplayer, Relay, Matchmaker, etc.
Alternatively you can also link with a third party id like Google, Apple, Steam and Facebook.

This is great info, thank you!

To answer your question: no, the format was horrible =). Personally, I do not care if it is under 100 seconds. I do care if it is simple and to the point. A 5 minute video is better than a 1 minute video if it is more clear to the user.

I knew about Unity services, but I didn’t know about anonymous login. And it can apparently be connected to Steam, nice. Thanks for the tip.

[doublehitgames]

Please, do a full tutorial about Authentifaction and Cloud Save. Starting with a Anonimous login, saving and loading clud data saved and using anonymous id for register to a provider like as google account. This will be amasing!

[j.j.maverick]

incredibly useful and more simple than I expected! Thanks again!

[TheOneWithComments]

This made me realize how little I know about this topic ;-; I hope you are planning on doing longer videos on this topic because I think it would be very helpful

[Etka]

Very useful feature I will definitely use this in my future projects thank you Codemonkey

[akash_the_phenomenal]

Please make complete tutorial series on this whole new unity services.

[reaporofdragon]

I'm getting 2 errors can anyone help me ?? first error is cs0161 and the second one is cs0246
its on the async Task SignInAnonymouslyAsync

Edit: Found it it needs this in the script

using System.Threading.Tasks;

[allaboutpaw]

Loved it. I made it anonymous but then I am having trouble to connect it to Google, Steam etc... The documentation lacks in many ways. Could you provide a tutorial for that? There is no tutorial on youtube for this as of today. Thanks

[DwightPotvin]

I may have missed it, but could you possible do a tutorial on how to properly authenticate a steam ID using Unity Authentication? I tried to use the code they have on the website and I just an invalid token error so clearly I am doing something wrong lol

Nice video and format to discover some new feature!
It would be great to see how save cloud works, since I don't know a good method to cloud save for Apple and Android multiplaform.
Thanks!

How do you get Kite for visual studio code or can you still get it

[michelvarilek]

Thank you for this short tutorial! I have been looking into Unity Authentication recently. Do you know if this is a good alternative to the somewhat recently deprecated feature of reading the serial number on Android devices to identify devices? I am working on device-bound licensing for a VR application (on Quest and Pico) and since the unique serial number (since android level 29) is not accessible anymore, it seems to me the best alternative is to create a unique identifier on the device and store it somewhere safe/hidden - which Unity Authentication also seems to be doing.

[jacobbender]

@Code Monkey - curious (if you have experience with either) how you think this lineup of services compares against PlayFab/GameSparks - a lot of these things seem to be Unity wanting to provide direct offerings in-house. I use PlayFab for my own projects and a lot of what I have seen from Unity Services seem to match 1:1.

how to retrive data from a spcefic user? i mean i can only load data from my own ID, how can u access to other id's? as an admin i mean

[TheIronicRaven]

Is this something that is done server side, or client side? If I have my server running and a player joins in, would I attach the authentication code to the server player that spawns, or to the client one? It makes the most sense to me to be the server side, but I am not sure which one it is targeting.

[Steve-giyj]

Sorry I have a question, I am trying to setup OpenID, however its asking info on it, do I just make the info up? make my own Oidc name, client ID and OIDCName html? I tried making or inputting stuff and i get "Invalid OIDC Parameter". any thoughts?

[MisterCrispyFL]

Wait a sec… since when does Unity support async/await?! Every tutorial I’ve ever come across talks about using that CoRoutine junk. Is this just for the login stuff or was it added and no one updated their tutorials?

[Jobzachariah]

@CodeMonkeyUnity Is there a way to see in unity dasboard the details of users who have used anonymous login (userID's just like in firebase database)
