LI PASS Integration: Recommended for Ecosystem Synergy and Business Growth
LI PASS (LEVEL INFINITE PASS) is the recommended standard solution for games within the Level Infinite ecosystem. It is not just an account system, but your gateway to the global gaming ecosystem and driving business growth. With the pre-built unified login component, your players can log in with a single click using an LI PASS account or any mainstream third-party account, achieving a seamless cross-device, cross-platform, and cross-game experience.
Core Values
Ecosystem-Driven User Growth: Directly share Level Infinite's cross-game user community and marketing resources. Player account and social experiences extend seamlessly across games, significantly enhancing user acquisition efficiency, retention, and lifetime value.
Pre-Integrated Solution for Accelerated Launch: We provide a complete set of pre-built UI components (including login, account center, and more) optimized for security and user experience. While delivering the LI PASS account experience to your players, this approach eliminates the need to individually develop UIs for every third-party login channel, significantly reducing development effort.
Comprehensive Extended Services: Automatically gain access to a full suite of extended features provided by Player Network, such as the Account Center, Account Security Risk Management, Passkey Biometric Login, Points System, and an Exclusive Player Support Channel, ensuring your players receive a comprehensive account service experience.
Applicable Scenarios
Designed specifically for Level Infinite and its partnered games, this is the preferred solution for all partners looking to maximize ecosystem advantages and achieve rapid business growth.
SDK-Only Integration: Maximum Flexibility with Core APIs
The SDK-Only mode exposes Player Network's core account capabilities via interfaces, without including any pre-built frontend UI. This solution grants maximum flexibility and control to your development team, applicable for scenarios that require a fully customized frontend interaction flow.
Core Values
Maximum Flexibility: By utilizing our native interfaces, your team gains the complete control to design and implement any login flow and interface interaction.
On-Demand Composition and Deep Integration: You can freely select and combine the required account capabilities and integrate them deeply into your game's unique user experience.
Limitations
Increased Development Investment: Requires your team to take full responsibility for the development, testing, and maintenance of all frontend interfaces and user interactions from scratch.
Exclusion of Pre-built Features: SDK-only integration does not directly support the high-level extended features built upon pre-built UI, such as the Account Center, Account Security Risk Management, Passkey, and Points System.
Applicable Scenarios
Ideal for studios with strong technical capabilities, specific customization requirements for the account flow, and a willingness to undertake the necessary frontend development workload to pursue a unique brand experience.
Core Concepts and Relationships
The following core concepts apply to every integration method for our account service.
Core Concepts
GameID
GameID is a unique business identifier automatically assigned by the system after your game completes registration in the Player Network console. It represents your game business entity and serves as the key credential for accessing all service interfaces.
ChannelID
ChannelID is a numeric identifier used by Player Network to identify third-party login channel types (e.g., 4=Facebook, 21=Steam, 131=LI PASS). It serves as a key parameter for identifying login sources and managing account binding logic.
UID
UID (User Identifier) is the unique identifier for players on specific platforms (such as LI PASS, Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.), provided directly by the platform provider. The UID must be used in combination with the ChannelID, as Player Network utilizes the UID to identify players' identities on the corresponding platforms.
Due to platform policies, when the same player uses the same platform account to log into different games, the UID provided by the platform may differ. This prevents the system from identifying players' cross-game behaviors through their platform UIDs.
The LI PASS UID remains absolutely consistent when a player accesses any game, serving as the foundation for cross-game identification and integrated ecosystem experiences.
For example, when a player uses the same LI PASS account (UID) to create game accounts (OpenIDs) across multiple games (GameIDs), the LI PASS UID enables the system to identify which games the player has accessed.
OpenID
OpenID is the unique identifier for a player within a specific game. It is not associated with player characters, but serves as the core reference for linking player data in your game server. The system automatically generates OpenID using a secure algorithm based on GameID, ChannelID, and UID, ensuring uniqueness and isolation across different games (for example: the same player will have two different OpenIDs in "Game A" and "Game B").
Account Relationships and Constraint Policies
To ensure flexibility and security of the account system, Player Network adopts the following account relationships and constraint policies:
Policy Details
- Rule 1: One Identity, Multiple Login Methods (One-to-Many)
A single game OpenID can be associated with multiple UIDs from different channels. Players can subsequently use any of the bound channel accounts (such as Google or Apple) to log into the same game account.
- Rule 2: Single Channel, Exclusive Binding (One-to-One)
For any given third-party channel, an OpenID can only be associated with one UID from that channel. The system will reject any attempt to bind a second account from the same channel, ensuring clear and stable account relationships.
- Rule 3: Seamless Upgrade from Guest Accounts
When a player logs in as a guest, the system generates a temporary game OpenID. If the player decides to bind a third-party account, the system associates that channel's UID with the existing OpenID to complete the account upgrade. Thereafter, the player can directly log in through that channel account and continue their previous game progress. Games may choose whether to retain the relationship between the guest UID and the OpenID.
System Workflow: Login Request Processing
This section illustrates the end-to-end authentication process by tracing a typical player login request through our integrated account service ecosystem:
Meanwhile, as a developer, you can manage your game configurations through the console. These configurations take effect immediately across the Player Network account backend, game clients, and web platforms.
