Hello.

I am using Normcore for multiplayer, as the title suggests, and I am looking for anything that can point me in the direction of making a login-password system.
I played around with Photon and PlayFab, but they are just soooo expensive. Especially for an Indie Dev all by her lonesome.
I am wondering if there is even a way to make a login-password system with Normcore. From my searches, I have found only PlayFab really lets you do that, or if you host your own server, which isn’t very possible right now, seeing that this game might not go anywhere.
Normcore has better pricing than Photon by far, and I really want to stick with it. I am making a VR game too, and Normcore directly supports VR.

Thank you for the help :slight_smile:

You will want to just use PlayFab, it is much better than building your own and they handle password recovery. You get a whole web user interface to manage the players.
It is literally a few lines of code to authenticate. Similar to below, you will need your own user interface to allow them to enter a username/password and register and another user interface for login.

		if (AppSettings.IsRegistered)
		{
			print($"Using email and password to autlogin: {AppSettings.EmailAddress}");
            var requestEmail = new LoginWithEmailAddressRequest { Email = AppSettings.EmailAddress, Password = AppSettings.Password };
            PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithEmailAddress(requestEmail, OnAutoLoginSuccess, OnAutoLoginFailure);
			return;
		}
		else
		{ 
#if UNITY_STANDALONE
	        var requestCustomId = new LoginWithCustomIDRequest { CustomId = SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier, CreateAccount = true };
			PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithCustomID(requestCustomId, OnAutoLoginSuccess, OnAutoLoginFailure);
			return;
#endif
#if UNITY_ANDROID
			var requestAndroid = new LoginWithAndroidDeviceIDRequest { AndroidDeviceId = SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier, CreateAccount = true };
			PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithAndroidDeviceID(requestAndroid, OnAutoLoginSuccess, OnAutoLoginFailure);
			return;
#endif
#if UNITY_IOS
			var requestIOS = new LoginWithIOSDeviceIDRequest { DeviceId = SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier, CreateAccount = true };
			PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithIOSDeviceID(requestIOS, OnAutoLoginSuccess, OnAutoLoginFailure);
			return;
#endif
		}
