Billybobjoe Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I know you can go to my asylum on the homepage, but if I am not on my wifi I cannot view that, I feel like there should be a way that you can use your forum account to view that same stuff. Link to comment
DJScias Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hello there, Unless we had some sort of system that binds your player ID to your forum account and also a means to make sure you can't input a different player ID than your own this won't be happening sooner or later.

I mean, ArmA 3 functionality is all stuck to the player id and this is something that Steam provides us.. Using Steam Authentication you could make a very secure link that only allows you to get your own player id and use it after authenticating. It doesn't sound too bad.

Kind regards, DJScias I can put my player id on here and nothing can happen to my steam account. I link my steam account and if the website gets compromised again then my account is at risk.

The steam Auth API only pulls information found here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Web_API#GetPlayerSummaries_.28v0001.29 More info about the API can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/dev It does a check using the OpenID protocol and then allows you to pull the above from said user.. Which includes, but is not limited to, current steam name, player id, avatar (various sizes), real name (if set), etc.. At no time is there ever any sort of mention or relation to the passwords for these kind of things. You authenticate on steam's website and the password stays there.. Steam just sends our website (or another website) a token that says "He wrote the right pass, let him pass". So no, your steam information can never, ever, ever be compromised if we get hacked.. Considering we never get any login details from your account. Kind regards, DJScias BSuzinator likes this Link to comment
