I was wondering just that. I have a game Im building, and Im using some google forms for feedback and support questions. I would like to include the User's playfabID in the form(silently) so I see it on my end, but to do so I have to store the variable locally. is this a safe practice?
PlayFabId is just a identifier for a specific player, which is not considered as a very sensitive info. Even if the players somehow manage to retrieve it, they cannot use it to do anything harmful to your game, ergo you are safe to store it locally.
thanks for your response. I ended up passing all the required info through cloudscript including the currentplayer ID. One thing that eludes me still is how to retrieve a user's login email through a server call in cloudscript directly. as of now Im storing the login email in playerprefs but since I want to use it as a way of responding to support questions I feel I should be getting it directly from the user's account. any tips?
You can call GetUserAccountInfo to retrieve the user's email, which is returned in PrivateInfo -> Email: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/playfab/server/account-management/getuseraccountinfo?view=playfab-rest#userprivateaccountinfo
