Login with Origin

Hey

Is there a way to authenticate with Playfab using Origin just like what is available for Steam using the LoginWithSteam method?

AFAIK you don't have something like that at available the moment for Origin

Do you have a secure alternative?

The only option I found would be the game handling the auth by using LoginWithCustomID with the playerSecret available in the enterprise tier.

Is there a better and more secure way?

Is there any way to authenticate using a 3rd party auth provider?

Any kind of suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

In terms of secure auth, you're correct - we do not have direct integration with Origin. We do have a few things available, though:

1. If Origin has an OIDC implementation, we have an OIDC auth: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/playfab/client/authentication/loginwithopenidconnect?view=playfab-rest.

2. We have a LoginWithServerCustomId which is not available to the clients (and which uses a completely different ID from LoginWithCustomId - the two IDs are unrelated). So you could have a server auth process that the clients use, and which logs players in within your service code, sending just the Session Ticket back to the clients.

3. There are a number of other general services (Facebook, Apple GameCenter, Google, Twitch) for which we have integrations. In general, at least one of those is available on most platforms.

4. Finally, you could just use email/password or username/password.

Thanks for your suggestions Brendan, I'll explore in more detail the options 1 and 2 than won't require extra steps from the players
