    Great news,

    (Edit this is in full effect now. You can change your gamertag and lg username automatically and for free, Video Below)

    We official have access to a Microsoft Xbox oauth system. OAuth is a safe open source login system, Where you redirect a user to another site (in this case Microsoft's site) and the user grants our site (leaguegaming) permission to read that users gamertag. This means users from now on will have to be who they say they are as everything will be behind validated gamertag!

    This has many benefits , the first being we'll be able to verify users and this system will be put right into the user registation system.

    2nd , We will save each users numerical "XboxID Number". This is your id that never changes. So when you change your gamertag we'll be able to simply look up what gamertag string is used by your Xbox ID. Meaning all gamertag changes from LG will be free and automatically done by you simply clicking a refresh button (This will be added in a day or so).

    The first step is to verify all our current users, below the chatbox you will see a red box asking you to verify your gamertag. Please do this, we will be forcing this in a week or so.

    The other interesting news, is from this system we could bring in Xbox's messaging system right into LG, meaning you could read & send xbox messages from here. Something we'll look into if there is a log of interest. We also have full Xbox One API, so expect to see a ton of new stuff coming soon!

    Never, as i said in the post above, oauth is an open protocol. We send you to Microsoft's site to login, if the login is successful they send you back to LG with a token that we can then send to a service to retrieve your gamertag. We never see your login or password.

    Here is info about oauth

    its the same API that game developers use, so in theory if we have our own xbox title (or app) we could trigger that you unlocked an achievement. So that type of thing. Not update your actual account. Only Xbox can do that.
