Do LoginWithAndroidDeviceID and LoginWithIOSDeviceID validate the IDs

Hi,

Is there any validation that happens on LoginWithAndroidDeviceID and LoginWithIOSDeviceID on the IDs that are submitted to make sure they are "real" device IDs, if it's possible to know such a thing, or at least conform to a specific format?

The documentation says to prefer them over LoginWithCustomID but is there any mechanism that make them more secure than using LoginWithCustomID?

Actually, these two ways are anonymous and won’t validate the id to see whether it really exists. If you want to increase the security and reliability of your login system, you may consider using other login methods that require authentication from a third-party service, such as LoginWithFacebook.
