Vijaya Sree Sai Reddy Dwarampudi, Venkata Naresh Mandhala · 2023
User tracking and activity monitoring have become widespread practices in digital applications across many sectors. As a result, most applications now require users to create accounts and log in to facilitate this process and improve security. Many developers are finding easy and efficient techniques to accomplish this. In the web 2.0 era, popular social networking platforms such as Google, GitHub, and LinkedIn provide their own APIs that follow OAuth 2.0 protocols to enhance the user experience. This paper presents an innovative approach that efficiently connects Unity applications with popular social media platforms such as Google and LinkedIn. Key aspects of the approach include integrating the social network login functionality into the Unity application's user interface, handling the authentication process through the respective social web APIs, and securely transmitting user data between the client and the server.
