Authentication

Manage profiles

Create and manage multiple player profiles on a single device to allow players to sign in with different accounts.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated 15 hours ago
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);}
