A lot of apps throw their potential users off at the most critical part of the user journey: the onboarding process. In this video, you will learn how to implement a smooth onboarding process for your Android app using Anonymous Authentication and Account Linking.
With an Anonymous Account users can try out your app without having to sign in, but they still have a unique ID that you can use to store their data securely. Once they are sure they like your app, you can ask them to sign in and upgrade to a full account with Account Linking.
