```csharp
public static ILocalUser localUser { get; }
```

### Remarks

Until the user logs in or authenticates themself, the profile data will be invalid and no other Social API functionality will work.

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        Social.localUser.Authenticate(success => {
            if (success)
            {
                Debug.Log("Authentication successful");
                string userInfo = "Username: " + Social.localUser.userName +
                    "\nUser ID: " + Social.localUser.id +
                    "\nIsUnderage: " + Social.localUser.underage;
                Debug.Log(userInfo);
            }
            else
                Debug.Log("Authentication failed");
        });
    }
}
```
