Return value

Type: HRESULT Result code for this API operation.

Remarks

This API is available on Sony PlayStation®. If this is the first time a user has signed in with the PlayStation :tm: Network account and CreateAccount is set to true, a new PlayFab account will be created and linked to the PlayStation :tm: Network account. In this case, no email or username will be associated with the PlayFab account. Otherwise, if no PlayFab account is linked to the PlayStation :tm: Network account, an error indicating this will be returned, so that the title can guide the user through creation of a PlayFab account. See also ClientLinkPSNAccountAsync, ClientUnlinkPSNAccountAsync. When the asynchronous task is complete, call PFAuthenticationLoginWithPSNGetResult to get the result.
