How to get the list of all the players that have been signed up in my game? I want to store that in a database with other information related to each player.

[@thetalesofold]

This you could do with Cloud Save.

[@ramishafaq7167]

i have downloaded the athentication package but the function signupwithusernameandpassword is not working and it gives the error it is not included Error CS1061 'IAuthenticationService' does not contain a definition for 'SignUpWithUsernamePasswordAsync' and no accessible extension method 'SignUpWithUsernamePasswordAsync' accepting a first argument of type 'IAuthenticationService' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Assembly-CSharp D:\Unity\fyp practice\My project\Assets\Authentication.cs 20 Active what should i do

[@thetalesofold]

What Unity version are you on and also what version of Authentication?

[@thetalesofold]

Also if you wish to I posted our discord in the description.

[@GameDevs_Life]

Can we do a automatic sign in if the player has already signed up before ?

[@thetalesofold]

Hey sorry for late reply but I was researching this. I also wanted to know this but no luck so far. Here is the thread for Unity if you want to follow it. forum.unity.com/threads/authentication-now-support-username-password.1467995/#post-9559807

[@tuando8511]

How can i save player progress and allow players to resume their game from last played level?

[@thetalesofold]

You can do this many ways if you want to use cloud you can look at Cloud Save prf.hn/l/vwQYNB2 if you want do it locally I would look at Easy Save 3 prf.hn/l/XZJLMjy

[@hardworkerstudio]

and how to reset passwords? if some player forgot it...

[@thetalesofold]

Someone else asked the same thing and sadly there isn't an easy way. I personally haven't done it but you should be able to reset with the API. I supplied a link to the conversation about this on the forums.

[@hardworkerstudio]

@@thetalesofold now I switch to signin by google or apple now, it don't worry about the password

[@harlandpherox5700]

The issue with this identity provider is Forget Password, how can a player attempt to reset their password?

[@thetalesofold]

This is a great concern and since we didn't capture an email we the developer would have to handle it. According to Unity: Regarding password recover concern, it's not currently on our roadmap and it's up to the developer to assist in password reset for this scenario.

[@thetalesofold]

I know email and password are also on the roadmap but who knows when that will come. portal.productboard.com/diizu66tjj8byz7cwmfxcexh/c/1813-email-password-login?

[@thetalesofold]

If you are interested in doing the process of updating the password the method for that is Task UpdatePasswordAsync(string currentPassword, string newPassword) but this means you know your current password not if you forgot. I hope this helps, sorry there isn't a direct answer.

[@ussdev1988]

async Task UpdatePasswordAsync(string currentPassword, string newPassword) { try { await AuthenticationService.Instance.UpdatePasswordAsync(currentPassword, newPassword); Debug.Log("Password updated."); } catch (AuthenticationException ex) { // Compare error code to AuthenticationErrorCodes // Notify the player with the proper error message Debug.LogException(ex); } catch (RequestFailedException ex) { // Compare error code to CommonErrorCodes // Notify the player with the proper error message Debug.LogException(ex); } }

[@hardworkerstudio]

it show me this error after login or reigstry WebRequestException: {"detail":"Username does not match requirements. Insert only letters, digits and symbols among {., -, _, @}. With a minimum of 3 characters and a maximum of 20","details":[],"status":400,"title":"INVALID_USERNAME"} Unity.Services.Authentication.WebRequest.SendAsync[T] () (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.services.authentication@3.3.0/Runtime/Network/WebRequest.cs:45) what happen?

[@thetalesofold]

That is saying what you entered as your username wasn't valid and to follow those requirements.

[@hardworkerstudio]

@@thetalesofold there has anyway to ignore this requirements? I just want to use simple characters just for test like 123

[@thetalesofold]

i would suggest you just do test1234 as username. I haven't looked at the documentation in a bit, or remember if there was any arguments you can supply to bypass that.

[@hardworkerstudio]

Ok, I would change to use sign-in by google or facebook instead, because I still don't know how to deal with players that forgot their password.

[@thetalesofold]

@@hardworkerstudio yea unfortunately as of right now that would be your best bet.
