Link Device ID to existing account?

It looks like I can log in with a device ID, but I don't see how to link the device ID to an existing account (such as with LinkFacebookAccount, etc.). Is there a way to do that?

(side note: I don't see LinkGoogleAccount either)

Scanning for a reference to LinkGoogleAccount (to make sure everyone knows it's now available), I noticed this post hadn't been updated when the Link/Unlink Device ID calls were added. They are:

https://api.playfab.com/Documentation/Client/method/LinkAndroidDeviceID

https://api.playfab.com/Documentation/Client/method/UnlinkAndroidDeviceID

https://api.playfab.com/Documentation/Client/method/LinkIOSDeviceID

https://api.playfab.com/Documentation/Client/method/UnlinkIOSDeviceID

And the Link/Unlink Google Account calls are also available, as noted in this post:

Hi Rich,

You're right; we don't have live APIs yet for linking and unlinking devices to existing accounts (or linking a Google account). It is something we intend to support in the future, both with APIs and with customer service tools.

Is this something you need to launch? If so, let us know your timeline and we can talk about scheduling. Thanks for the question!

I also wanted this feature. Any previsions on when this would be available?

Hi Ines;

It's in our backlog but not currently scheduled to be worked on during 2014. If this is something you need to launch, let us know your timeline and I can see if we can schedule support for device linking and unlinking to PlayFab accounts.

It would be great if it could be done until the end of the week, but since it would be probably impossible, the game testing sessions are schedule in more or less a moth (if everything goes according to plan). It would be great if you could include this until then.
