PIE Play Credentials Feature?

Hey guys, what does this feature mean in the editor’s preferences?

Does it mean that if I set my Steam/Playfab/other-services credentials then when I launch the game from the editor (PIE), will it try to connect to the Steam/Playfab/other-services? But in the editor (PIE) it is not possible to use these onlinesubsystems, only if it is launched with StandaloneGame, right?

My guess is that it for certain services it will manage the account login so that you don’t have to log in every time you do a PIE test.

I understand it, thx. But I thought that I can not login from PIE, I need to use StandaloneGame to test it, right?

How else are you supposed to test something that requires a login?

I mean, can I click on the play button and then connect to facebook or steam from within the editor (PIE) and debug blueprints that I created for this process? No, to connect to these services it is necessary to play on StandAloneGame, but then I can not debug the blueprints.
If I’m not wrong, this is a feature that is missing, the ability to connect to services (onlinesubsystems) from within the same editor, as it already exists in other game engines.

Greetings.

any update on this? i would love to access the steam subsystem with PIE. This seems to be the answer, but I am not sure exactly what credentials are required from Steam’s end.
