Set up Device ID as an Identity Provider

Last updated on March 9, 2024

Overview

A Device ID is a unique identifier for a device. With AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS), your player can use their Device ID to log in to your game and give them a headless account. Read the getting online tutorials for Unreal Engine and Unity to learn how to integrate a Device ID login method into your game.

Best practice

Since your users don't need to input any credentials as they will be using a device to log in, there's a risk a user will lose access to their device and it will be difficult to recover their account. To mitigate this risk, we suggest you prompt your users to upgrade their headless account to a full account. For more details about accounts, you can read the documentation on how accounts work.
