How do I Pass a string variable Through Different Scenes? Unity C#

Question

I Have 2 scripts. In one, you have a function where you can sign in. It needs a username and I want that username on a TMP Text that is located on the main menu scene.

    public string Username;

It IS a public string. Other script:

    public TextMeshProUGUI playerName;

And that is the TMP Text on which the player's username should be displayed.

I know how I could pass variables between scripts, but I don't know how to pass them through whole scenes.

Kinda rushed sorry.

DontDestroyOnLoad only works for root GO's or components on root GO's. — GraniteSOS, Aug 20 '20 at 10:54

You can try using PlayerPrefs.

Set players name on PlayerPrefs after login:

PlayerPrefs.SetString("Name", m_PlayerName);

Later load it on another scene from PlayerPrefs:

m_PlayerName = PlayerPrefs.GetString("Name", "No Name");

It works except... I need to reset it when I stop the program. Any suggestions? – GraniteSOS Aug 20 '20 at 11:32
Use a static value. Static values preserve between scenes. – Yern Aug 20 '20 at 13:22
Hello @GraniteSOS, to delete the key later, just use this: PlayerPrefs.DeleteKey("Name"); – Zoedingl Aug 20 '20 at 13:59

And if you would like to keep it persist between scenes PlayerPrefs would work as well.
