Issue integrating OneAll social login in my web-based game accounts

Amelia_Smith

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a small web-based video game project where players can create accounts and save their progress online. I’m trying to integrate OneAll for social login (Google/Facebook login), but I’m running into some confusion with how the authentication flow should be handled inside a game environment.

Specifically, I want to know the best way to securely link a player’s in-game profile with their OneAll social profile without breaking session handling or causing duplicate accounts when users log in from different devices.

Is there a recommended approach or example setup for handling user identity mapping in a game backend using OneAll APIs? Also, how do others typically manage session persistence for logged-in players in similar use cases?

Any guidance or best practices would be really appreciated.

Just following up with a bit more context in case it helps.

One of the game-related examples I'm looking at is something similar to GTA San Andreas community projects, where players may access the same account from multiple devices and want a seamless login experience. Communities around games, including sites like gtasanmod, often have users who expect quick account access without having to create separate credentials for every platform.

For those who have implemented OneAll in a gaming environment, how are you handling account linking when a player first signs in with a social provider and later tries a different provider or device? Do you rely primarily on email matching, or is there a better approach to prevent duplicate accounts?

I'm also interested in hearing how people manage long-term session persistence for returning players while maintaining security. Have you encountered any common pitfalls with token management, account recovery, or social identity mapping when scaling beyond a small user base?

Would love to hear about any real-world implementations or lessons learned from similar projects.
