Login IDs

In Skygear Auth, instead of the traditional username and email, we have login IDs. This model is developed based on the Tripartite Identity Pattern. Each login ID can be email, username, phone, or whatever allowed in app configuration.
Developers can configure what types of login ID is allowed in app configuration, for example:
Login ID Key
Login ID Type
Login ID
email
email
username
username
johndoe
device_id
raw

User can login with any of the associated login ID.

Login ID Types

Login ID types specifies the meaning of the login ID, so that Skygear Auth can perform normalization & validation on them.
  • email: email in format specified by RFC5332
  • username: username in format (TODO)
  • phone: phone in E.164 format
  • raw: a raw string

Change Login IDs

Login IDs associated with a user can be added, removed, or updated their associated login ID using APIs.
