Linking Accounts

If you choose to link your Steam account to your byte1ife account, byte1ife will save your Steam ID and display name. These are used to ensure the Steam account you're trying to link is actually yours (and prevent others from claiming your ID), and to display your name to other players. Who your display name is shown to depends on your privacy settings in your byte1ife account. You can choose to show nobody if you wish. If you choose to import your games from your Steam library into your byte1ife game collection, byte1ife will also save which games are currently in your Steam library. If you choose to share your Steam activity on your byte1ife profile, byte1ife will save which games you've played in the last two weeks or less.

If you choose to add other non-Steam accounts, such as a YouTube channel or Xbox Live gamertag, byte1ife will save your display name to show other players. Which players are shown depends on your privacy settings in your byte1ife account. You can choose to show nobody if you wish.
