Overview

When interacting with mod.io you may wish to use your own managed identity provider for mod.io interaction by your players. To facilitate this functionality, mod.io offers two widely-used complementing OAuth flows for account linking across both game clients and traditional web-based OAuth flows.

Supported Use Cases

We recommend using the applicable Platform SSO for in-game authentication and sign-in via our website. mod.io also offers Studio SSO using OpenID as a premium feature in cases where a studio wishes to use it's own identity provider for authentication.

Origin of Authentication	Recommended Flow
In-game	OpenID or Platform SSO or Email
mod.io Website	OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow
