Linking Account - Currency

I have set up my game to register the player using device ID on initial login. I have also provided a method of registering to Playfab account. Upon doing so, the device ID will be linked to the playfab account.

The issue I see here is that any currency that the player may own while they are on the device ID account will not be carried over to the registered playfab account when linked.

Im using Unreal Engine 4 just for reference.

How did link the playfab account? It seems you are registering a new account with RegisterPlayFabUser not linking the original account with AddUsernamePassword. With linking, the player should still use the PlayFabId created with device Id. You are just adding a new method to log into this account. For more info, please see https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/landing-players/account-linking.

I don't want to create a new thread for this but how can I call the IsClientLoggedIn?

What's the issue you are encountering?I'd suggest you create a new thread as this is a different question and not related to your original one.
