Anonymous Login

Under anonymous login status, users can normally access CloudBase resources. Developers can configure corresponding access restrictions for anonymous users in conjunction with security rules.

Precondition​

Enabling Anonymous Login​

  1. Go to CloudBase Console/Authentication/Login Methods
  2. In the login methods list, select Anonymous Login and click Enable.

Login Flow​

For the auth instance, see SDK Initialization

Auth.signInAnonymously is used for anonymous login

await auth.signInAnonymously();
const loginScope = await auth.loginScope();
// If it is an anonymous login, returns true.
console.log(loginScope === "anonymous");

Converting to Formal Account​

If users generate some private data in an anonymous state (such as personal achievements and equipment obtained in games), and want to convert this anonymous account into a formal account for long-term retention.

For this requirement, you can perform anonymous user conversion registration to transfer the private data of this anonymous account to a formal account.

Conversion Example Reference:

  1. Anonymous Login
const auth = app.auth();
await auth.signInAnonymously();
  1. Obtain the access_token and perform conversion registration.
const {
    accessToken
} = await auth.getAccessToken();

await auth.signUp({
    // For other parameters, see auth.signUp.
    anonymous_token: accessToken,
});
