Check if a player exceeds the maximum number of incorrect password attempts.

I'm developing the login system. If a player exceeds the maximum number of incorrect password attempts (5 times), I want to exit the application to prevent bot attacks.

Due to information security reasons, I am unable to check the number of incorrect password attempts directly in Unity. Currently, the only solution I can think of to implement this functionality is by writing Cloud Scripts to call the LoginAndCheckPasswordAttempts function.

Are there any alternative approaches to achieve this goal?

Currently, PlayFab does not provide the ability to check the number of login attempts and our Cloud Scripts requires a login before executing, so you cannot use Cloud Scripts to check the failed login attempts. Such functionality may require a custom login system.

Does the custom login system mean that I need to build a login system without PlayFab? Or I can build it based on some PlayFab functions?

The function “checking the number of login attempts” you should implement it without PlayFab. About login part, you can use PlayFab login API to login.
