Hi, I'm looking to implement a frictionless login in my game that is currently available on Windows Phone. Is there any API call like LoginWithIOSDeviceID for Windows Phone? Or perhaps could I use the LoginWithIOSDeviceID method using the WP id? Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi Joel,

We have a request for WLID sign in (here: https://support.playfab.com/discussions/topics/1000052379), but this is the first request we've had for using DeviceUniqueId. I'm moving this into the Feature Requests area, to let others vote on it to help us understand how helpful it would be (we prioritize in part based upon feedback from our community). For right now, I would have to recommend using a low-friction sign-in mechanism, like Facebook.

One way to manage this now would be by using LoginWithCustomId, which lets you specify a locally-known identifier as the credential for sign-in to an account. Care should be taken to only ever use this with a value you are confident will stay secure to the local device.

We would recommend using Windows Hello (GetWindowsHelloChallenge/LoginWithWindowsHello) for login on Windows Phone.
