Do you have normal solutions for players who have lost their password or account name? Can a user view and change his account info outside the game?

We have a password reset API call (SendAccountRecoveryEmail), which can be used both as part of a shipping game, as well as a game?s website, so that players can retrieve their sign-in info. We also provide API calls to link and unlink different device IDs and accounts (Facebook, Google, etc.) to and from a player account, which a title (or web portal) could use to allow the player to modify the account. Finally, we have an API call which can be used to update the player?s title display name (UpdateUserTitleDisplayName), so that the player can update that as part of an in-game or web experience, as well. We will be creating a web portal for end users of games running on PlayFab at a later date, and will be incorporating much of this functionality into that site, but I would recommend making use of these as part of your title directly.
