Niantic Wayfarer Release Notes - New Niantic Sign-in Integration

Hello Explorers,

We are excited to announce we will be launching the Niantic Sign-in integration for Niantic Wayfarer later today. This new integration adds to our previous sign-in method, which was limited to Google and Facebook accounts.

The Niantic Sign-in integration connects Wayfarer to the Niantic Profile, providing a simpler and more centralized account management experience. With this integration, you can now use your Niantic Profile to sign in to Wayfarer and access all of your account information in one place.

Benefits of the Niantic Sign-in Integration:

  • Simpler account management: You can now use your Niantic Profile to sign in to Wayfarer and access all of your account information in one place.
  • Centralized account management: You can now manage your Niantic Profile, including your email address, password, and other account settings, from one central location.
  • Additional login support: You can now use Apple ID to sign-in to Wayfarer.

How to Use the Niantic Sign-in Integration:

To use the Niantic Sign-in integration, simply click on the “Continue with Niantic Sign In” button on the Wayfarer login page. You will then be prompted to select your authentication method followed by your account credentials. Once you have selected your credentials, you will be signed in to Wayfarer.

Important Note:

You can create a Niantic Profile by clicking on the “Create Account” link on the Wayfarer login page or by visiting the Niantic Profile homepage. Creating a Niantic Profile is not required to access Niantic Wayfarer at this time but we do plan to continue adding perks to having a Niantic Profile in the future. To access Wayfarer without a Niantic Profile you will follow the same first 2 sign-in steps as above.

We hope that you enjoy the new Niantic Sign-in Integration!
