Authentication method for migrating Yahoo Games users

Postby LazyLand » February 12th, 2016, 5:26 pm

In the announcement that Yahoo Games is closing it is written that
"Yahoo will allow you to migrate users from Yahoo Games to the channel
of your choice, e.g. your own website". To do such a migration, we
need a way of authenticating yahoo users in our own website, in a way
that gives us the same user_id that we get inside Yahoo Games. How
can we perform such a migration?

We could use OAuth2, but in order to obtain the same user_id we need
to use the same credentials (client_id/client_secret) that are used
inside Yahoo Games. Can we obtain these credentials?
