Android or iPhone - Unique identification of device?
Is there a way to uniquely identify a device, using Unity -- this would bypass having to use a login/password system for saving user game info on server, for example..

You should not trust SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier.
It creates different id's on some devices (for example on Galaxy Tab 3) if it's wireless is enabled or not. Because if wireless is not enabled mac address is not available (which is used by Unity) and android_id is used.
Here are the resources:

Bug report: (This happens in 4.6.2 patch 1) http://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?672928_f9m11fc79gran1s7

Check out these links:

Unfortunately, the conclusion seems to be there is not one way do get such an ID that will exist and be unique for all phones.
(You could still maintain your own server-assigned IDs on devices to circumvent a login system).

Hi, Unfortunately, I have not found a single way to assign unique ID, I have different sources like Stack flow,research papers,different forums,content transfer app like SmartIO and different other sources.
I suggest you should stick to the basics...
