Players can use profiles to sign in to multiple accounts on a single device. Profiles add a level of isolation to the values saved to the

PlayerPrefs

. Profiles are not automatically persisted; it’s up to developers to determine how to manage them.

Switch profiles

Players must be signed out to switch the current profile. Use

AuthenticationService.Instance.SwitchProfile(profileName)

. The profile name only supports alphanumeric values, `-`, `_` and has a maximum length of 30 characters. If a player is not signed out,

SwitchProfile

throws an

AuthenticationException

with the error code

AuthenticationErrorCodes.ClientInvalidUserState

. If an invalid name is used,

SwitchProfile

throws an

AuthenticationException

with the error code

AuthenticationErrorCodes.ClientInvalidProfile

Current profile

To view the current profile, use

AuthenticationService.Instance.Profile

Default profile

If no profile is provided in the initialization options, the value

default

is used.

Set the profile at initialization

Optionally, you can set the profile when initializing

UnityServices

. The

AuthenticationService

uses the value

default

if no profile is provided.


async Task InitializeUnityServices(){    var options = new InitializationOptions();    options.SetProfile("test_profile");    await UnityServices.InitializeAsync(options);}
