What is the best way to use LoginWithEmail API for Login?

Hi,

I have used LoginWithEmail API for my users to get logged-in but I don't want them to add the Email/Password each time they open the app and I don't want to store the password in PlayerPrefs or some other unprotected storage.

What I have thought to do is

First, ask my users to enter the email/password(First time only)
If the login is successful, then I use another API(Android device or iOS Device) to link their device with their account and then always use LoginWithAndroidDeviceId or LoginWithIOSDeviceId depending on which mobile OS/platform they are on

I think this way I won't need or have to store any credentials on client side. Am I thinking it right? If not, please let me know what is the best way/solution?

Yes, you’re right. And, one thing to emphasize: you should always make sure that every player has a recoverable login mechanism (LoginWithEmail is OK) so that they can unlink & re-link when they lose or want to change devices. Here is doc on Login basics and best practices you may find helpful.

Alright, thanks for the reassurance. I just wanted to confirm if this is the right way to do.
