Hello
how would i be able to lets say user logs into web based game and creates their account via custom id - then they want to switch to steam - how can i get them to link their steam account to the other account since the customid is going to be different via webgl then the standalone steam version?
For instance I need to link Steam on the webgl build but there is no login parameters or anything
Do you want to log in with a custom ID on WebGL and want to be able to link this account to your steam account? Or do you have two PlayFab accounts, one logged in with steam and one with a custom ID, and you want to link the steam account to both?
Regarding logging in with a custom ID on WebGL, you can use a GUID to generate a custom ID, refer to How to get unique id on the clinet (WebGL) - Playfab Community.
Regarding linking steam accounts, you can call LinkSteamAccount to achieve, as for SteamTicket, you can refer to Setting up PlayFab authentication using Steam and Unity - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs.
If you have two PlayFab accounts and your steam account can only be linked to one of them, you can set ForceLink to true when calling LinkSteamAccount to unlink the last linked account and link to the current account.
So what I wanted to do was if someone created an account in Steam - but wanted to play the webgl version later - move the webgl customID over to the older account (the steam one)....BUT the problem is I THINK - the loginwithsteam on webgl i would need to setup some custom callback since the webgl version doesnt have a way to connect to the steam client launching the UI and interacting with the logged in user.
Etiher way this isnt really a Playfab issue but more of a different way of having to do things issue.
Instead of creating another openID callback server I ended up just creating a recovery account system to take care of any other possible login addons i configure in the future as well
thanks!
