[Socket] Is there a way to recognize a client by their device? - SheeppOSU - Jun-03-2020

I'm using socket to make a type of online game, so I plan to make a login system. Is there a way to recognize a device that has logged in before, for example: I log in, exit out of the game, and when I reopen the game it recognizes my device and uses the login info that I'd previously used to login automatically. Thanks in advance for any help.

Maybe try finding the MAC address of the device? MAC addresses of each device should be unique after all. Only trouble is actually getting it.
