Users need to sign up Hive to utilize the convenient member management functions provided by Hive.
Hive suggests ways to encourage users to join Hive as follows.
Encourage Hive Login in Tutorial
Provide a Hive login button within a tutorial that allows new users to learn how to play the game or to enjoy the game without having to log in. If the user who has already completed the tutorial wants to change the device or re-install the game and then go through the tutorial to log in to the game, it will be very inconvenient.
