High score, how to get unique User ID and username?

in Unity on OUYA

I want to implement an online high score server for our game.

How would I go about checking for unique IDs of the user / machine (for my own statistics) and getting the username that is logged in? Is there a way in the unity ouya sdk? How do other developers do this?

Also, can I implement a text field where the user can Input his own name using the android soft keyboard? Or would that have to be created seperately in unity?

    You can get the GamerUuid from the OuyaFacade class.  There is no way to get the username though.

    Hey there.. not sure what you are using to store the scores, but I made a free online leaderboard called Dreamlo: www.dreamlo.com

    Quintet: a cooperative scifi game where players control the same ship through 5 roles - Captain, Helm, Tactical, Engineering & Science.

    @carmineg: Hey, that seems pretty cool. :)

    Although I am tempted, I think I will set up my own server, as I work with that kinda stuff and like to be in control of my own data. But good to know there's an alternative if all else fails. ^^
