New to coherence and researching possibilities. From what I can see, when using username / password for account authentication, you can auto create the account if it does not exist.

So the question I have, it you wanted to change password you have to do it on the coherence site?

Follow up question. It says username/password across all services. Does that mean a username/password created for one game, can be used with any other game that is setup for username/password. (I did not see a gameID being passed for example)

Thanks

Hey, welcome - to clear up a few things:

- if you log in with a username and password you are given a session token, you can then use that token to auto-login the user up to 30 days and it will auto-refresh when you use it (see here: [Player Accounts | coherence Documentation](https://docs.coherence.io/hosting/coherence-cloud/authentication-service-player-accounts#login-with-session-token))
- to change a user’s password you would use this method: [Player Accounts | coherence Documentation](https://docs.coherence.io/hosting/coherence-cloud/authentication-service-player-accounts#username-and-password)

A player account is only valid for one “project” within coherence. Typically a single game is set up with a single project, so a player account is only valid for that project. The “all services” mentioned in the docs are referring to all available services within a single project.

Hey Brit,

Thanks for clearing that up. I think once I saw the other authentications I stopped reading and missed that section at the bottom which would have answered my question.
