I have to let my privacy freaks play my game, so I want legacy login as well. What's best (easiest) practice to allow password reset via the web?

I hate to compare PlayFab, but they have a player.SendPasswordResetEmail api call, which... just makes sense. Otherwise it's a really huge system to make a secure, password reset email.

What you are looking for is something like this..

if(Spark.getData().scriptData)
{
Spark.getPlayer().setScriptData("email", Spark.getData().scriptData["email"]);
}

Hi Dylan,

We don't store user email addresses by default so we don't have a call for that but we do have a method for doing this (by first setting a users email to script data on registration), the basics of this are set up in a test project. I can add you to this if you like to see how it works. Just let me know and I'll send you the details.

Thanks,

Liam

Firstly, let me thank Dylan for that question. I am coming from PlayerIO and they too have a simple password reset system. I do not believe that we two are going to be the only devs with this question so perhaps in future, it might be added as a tutorial, or better yet incorporated within the authentication system?

Can you also add me to the test project?

Thank you,
Richard.

in test harness i am trying this:

{
    "@class":   ".AuthenticationRequest",
    "password": "ffff",
    "userName": "ffff",
    "scriptData":   {
        "action":   "passwordRecoveryRequest",
        "email":    "muzaheed57@gmail.com"
    },
    "requestId":    "1479401743_2"
}

but it is not entering inside of this if(Spark.data.scriptData){}

somehow it always considering "(Spark.data.scriptData)" as invalid !!!!!!!!

can u provide some example code for testing in test harness

        "email": "vvvvvvv@gmail.com"
    },
    "requestId": "1479401743_2"
}

using that in test harness , i am getting null inside of Spark.data.scriptData .
As a result it is skipping whole if(Spark.data.scriptData) {} block.

can u provide some test harness example?
