Here is what should happen

The anonymous player signs in successfully. Your Console, Output or terminal shows a successful response with a player name or userId. You can also check the player in the selected project’s Users area.

Confirm the result from your own project. Existing dashboard players do not prove this new connection.

Check the active project key, JSON import and backend addresses. Restart your project after importing. For a 401, check the full key; for network errors, check the reachable backend address and console output.

Also: check the API in the dashboard

The API Explorer helps with debugging. Still verify the first request from your own game afterwards.
