Players & Auth

Flock supports several player sign-in methods, all through the SDK. See Authentication for how the SDK manages game and player sessions.

Dashboard
Unity
Unreal

Browse and manage your game’s players from the Flock dashboard — search accounts, inspect profiles, and review linked providers.

Players list — Browse and manage players in the Flock dashboard.

Each method is a LoginWith…Async call on FlockClient.Instance.Authentication. They throw on failure.

Email / password

LoginWithEmailAsync — classic account sign-in.

Device ID

LoginWithDeviceAsync — frictionless guest sign-in keyed to a device.

Google / Apple

LoginWithGoogleAsync / LoginWithAppleAsync — platform identity.

Steam / Facebook / Discord

LoginWithSteamAsync, LoginWithFacebookAsync, LoginWithDiscordAsync.

await FlockClient.Instance.Authentication.LoginWithEmailAsync(email, password);
Debug.Log($"Signed in as {FlockClient.Instance.CurrentPlayerId}");

Registering is a separate step — RegisterWith…Async — since logging in does not create an account. Registering an identity that already has one succeeds rather than failing, so you can send the player to a login.

Each method is an async node under Flock | Auth with On Success and On Failure pins, or a call on the auth provider in C++. The SDK exchanges the credential your platform SDK produced for a Flock session.

UFlockSubsystem* Sdk = UFlockSubsystem::Get(this);
Sdk->GetAuthProvider()->LoginWithEmail(Email, Password,
    [](TFlockResult<FFlockPlayerLoginResponse> Result)
    {
        if (Result.bSuccess) { /* Result.Value.PlayerId */ }
    });

Unlike Unity, login and register are separate calls — registering does not sign the player in. Facebook and Discord are login-only; an account must already exist.Registering an identity that already has an account is reported as a success with bAlreadyRegistered set, so you can send the player to a login rather than show them a failure.See the Unreal SDK guide for the full provider table.

Sessions

The SDK keeps the player signed in and refreshes their session automatically — you never handle tokens or expiry yourself. If a player needs to re-authenticate, the SDK raises FlockEvents.OnAuthExpired.
