Can't login using CLI

[gpc91]

Given Microsofts recent switch from PlayFab accounte to requiring a login using a Microsoft account, it's no longer possible to login, and as a result this tool has been effectively rendered useless.

Has this therefore been abandoned? There hasn't been an update to this in nearly a decade

We are using this ancient tool for our live game to migrate environments since it's simple but it works.

Now with the playfab login deprecation I was looking into the code and to my surprise, there is a kind of simple way to make it work. At least for our use case.

The tool relies on these endpoints which I don´t know if will be deprecated or removed:

• /DeveloperTools/User/Login (this one will go bye bye for sure)
• /DeveloperTools/User/GetStudios
• /DeveloperTools/User/CreateTitle
• /DeveloperTools/User/Logout

Seems like the point of using the Login endpoint is to get a "special" dev token in order to call GetStudios which returns a list of studios which contains titles and each title also contains info of the DevKeys. The DevKeys are used then to call the standard PlayFab SDK stuff.

Looking at the code carefully, I realized that you can create a playfabsettings.json file inside a /data directory next to the tool executable (data/playfabsettings.json) with your title's infos and the tool will read it from there. So something like this in playfabsettings.json:

{
    "Studios": [
        {
            "Titles": [
              {
                "Id": "XXXXX",
                "Name": "Dev",
                "SecretKey": "XXXXXXXXX"
              },
              {
                "Id": "XXXXX",
                "Name": "Beta",
                "SecretKey": "XXXXXXXXX"
              }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

This way you don't need to do the login command, you can directly migrate.
