Access code Login?

I'm creating a solo virtual escape room. I want to add a feature to the escape room where:

  • the user enters their email gets an access code
  • they can only play the game if they have an access code
  • the access token will track the user's progress

is this a good idea?

It can be a good idea.
Implementing a system where users obtain an access code through email and their progress is tracked using a token can be beneficial. However, it is important to ensure the safe management of the token and implement reliable consistency checks to prevent any unauthorized modifications or attacks by users.

It might be irritating to anyone who doesn't want to submit their email, but on the other hand, it would be nice to be able to track your progress. Maybe you could make it an option but not mandatory?

I think so! Also, I am modding #gamedev and do you want people do see more of this post or less. Also, 1 being novice, 2 beginner, 3 midlevel, 4 advanced, or 5 expert, what would you target this post towards?
