Hello,
we are developing game, where every player log in when game starts. So he can not be in menu of the game when actually not logged. Should I use Custom Authentication when Connecting to photon ? What are the security risks of not having custom Authentication in that case ? Probably somebody can somehow steal my App-ID and connect many fake clients and "steal" our CCU ..
Thanks

If you don't have Custom Auth, then your users are not authenticated. You don't have individual users then but people who connect with (basically) random nick names only.
If you don't need user accounts or verified users with some stats, then it's fine to skip Custom Auth.
Yes, your AppId could potentially be stolen (which is why to keep it secret) but that's not a typical problem.0
