Hey guys! Are you Mobile Legends players looking to switch accounts? Maybe you have multiple accounts for different purposes, or you just want to switch back to your main account after using a smurf. Whatever the reason, changing accounts in Mobile Legends is a pretty straightforward process. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to easily and safely switch accounts in Mobile Legends. So, let's dive in!

Why Switch Accounts in Mobile Legends?

Before we get into the how, let's briefly touch on the why. There are several reasons why you might want to switch accounts in Mobile Legends:

• Smurfing: Some players create secondary accounts (smurfs) to play with friends who are at a lower rank or to try out new heroes without affecting their main account's ranking.
• Different Regions: In some cases, players might want to access different regional servers to play with friends or experience different game environments. Although not officially supported through account switching, having a separate account for each region is a workaround.
• Account Recovery: If you've lost access to your main account, switching to a new account might be a temporary solution while you're trying to recover your primary one.
• Testing and Experimentation: Players might use alternative accounts to test new strategies, builds, or heroes without risking their main account's stats.
• Sharing with Family/Friends: In some families, multiple members might share a single device, each having their own Mobile Legends account.

Understanding your reason for switching accounts is important because it can influence the method you choose. For instance, if you're switching between multiple personal accounts, binding them to different platforms makes the process seamless. If you're dealing with account recovery issues, contacting Moonton support might be necessary.

Method 1: Binding and Switching via Account Platforms

This is the most common and recommended method for switching accounts in Mobile Legends. It involves binding your accounts to different platforms like Facebook, Google Play Games, VK (for Russian users), or Moonton Account. Binding your account not only makes switching easier but also secures your progress. Here’s how to do it:

1. Bind Your Accounts:
   • Open Mobile Legends: Launch the Mobile Legends app on your device.
   • Go to Settings: Tap on your profile picture in the top-left corner of the screen. This will open your profile page. Then, look for the "Settings" button, usually located in the top-right corner.
   • Account Settings: In the Settings menu, find and tap on "Account."
   • Bind Accounts: You’ll see options to bind your account to different platforms (Facebook, Google Play Games, VK, Moonton Account). Choose the platform you want to bind to your current account and follow the on-screen instructions. This usually involves logging in to your chosen platform and granting Mobile Legends permission to access your account.
   • Important: Make sure to use different platform accounts for each Mobile Legends account you have. For example, bind your main account to your primary Facebook account and your smurf account to a secondary Facebook account or a Google Play Games account.
2. Switching Accounts:
   • Go to Account Settings: From the main menu, go to your profile, then Settings, and then Account, just like when you were binding your accounts.
   • Switch Account: You should see a "Switch Account" or similar option. Tap on it.
   • Choose Platform: A list of bound platforms will appear. Select the platform associated with the account you want to switch to (e.g., Facebook, Google Play Games).
   • Login: You'll be prompted to log in to the selected platform (if you're not already logged in). Enter your credentials and grant Mobile Legends permission.
   • Confirm: The game will ask you to confirm that you want to switch to the selected account. Confirm, and the game will reload with your new account.

Binding your accounts is crucial not only for easy switching but also for account security. It prevents you from losing your progress if you change devices or encounter other issues. Always ensure you're using secure passwords and keep your linked accounts safe.

Method 2: Using the Moonton Account

The Moonton Account is a dedicated account system specifically for Mobile Legends. It offers an alternative way to manage and switch between accounts, especially if you don't want to rely solely on third-party platforms like Facebook or Google Play Games. Here’s how to use it:

1. Create a Moonton Account (if you don't have one):
   • Open Mobile Legends: Launch the Mobile Legends app.
   • Go to Account Settings: Navigate to your profile, then Settings, then Account.
   • Register Moonton Account: Look for an option to register a Moonton Account. If you already have one, you can log in directly. If not, tap on the registration option.
   • Provide Information: You'll need to provide an email address and create a password for your Moonton Account. Make sure to use a valid email address that you can access, as you'll need to verify it.
   • Verify Email: Moonton will send a verification email to the address you provided. Check your inbox (and spam folder, just in case) and click on the verification link to activate your Moonton Account.
2. Bind Your Existing Account (if necessary):
   • If you're already playing on an account you want to link to your Moonton Account, follow the steps in Method 1 to bind your account. Select the Moonton Account option and log in with your newly created credentials.
3. Switching Accounts:
   • Go to Account Settings: From the main menu, go to your profile, then Settings, and then Account.
   • Switch Account: Tap on the "Switch Account" option.
   • Select Moonton Account: Choose the Moonton Account option from the list of platforms.
   • Login: Enter your Moonton Account email address and password.
   • Confirm: Confirm that you want to switch to the account associated with your Moonton Account. The game will reload, and you'll be logged in to the new account.

The advantage of using a Moonton Account is that it gives you more direct control over your Mobile Legends accounts. It's also a good backup option if you're having trouble with other platforms. However, make sure to keep your Moonton Account credentials safe and secure, as it's the key to accessing your accounts.

Method 3: Clearing Data/Cache (Not Recommended for Switching)

This method involves clearing the game's data or cache to effectively reset the app and allow you to log in with a different account. However, I strongly advise against using this method for regular account switching. Clearing data can sometimes lead to data loss or other unexpected issues. It should only be considered as a last resort if other methods fail and you're experiencing login problems.

If you still want to try this method (at your own risk):

1. Backup Important Data: Before proceeding, make sure you've bound your accounts to a platform (Facebook, Google Play Games, or Moonton Account) to avoid losing your progress.
2. Clear Data/Cache:
   • Android: Go to your device's Settings, then Apps (or Application Manager), find Mobile Legends, and tap on "Storage." You'll see options to clear data and clear cache. Clearing data will remove all game data, while clearing cache will only remove temporary files.
   • iOS: On iOS, you can't directly clear app data. You'll need to uninstall and reinstall the app. This is a more drastic step, so make sure you've backed up your account.
3. Open Mobile Legends: After clearing data/cache (or reinstalling the app), launch Mobile Legends.
4. Login: You'll be prompted to log in with your account. Choose the platform associated with the account you want to use and log in.

Again, I strongly recommend against using this method unless absolutely necessary. It's much safer and more reliable to use the binding and switching methods described above.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even with these methods, you might encounter some issues while switching accounts. Here are some common problems and how to troubleshoot them:

• Login Failed:
  • Check your internet connection: Make sure you have a stable internet connection.
  • Verify your credentials: Double-check your username and password for the platform you're trying to log in to.
  • Platform issues: Sometimes, the platform itself (Facebook, Google Play Games) might be experiencing issues. Check their status pages to see if there are any known problems.
  • Game server issues: Mobile Legends servers might be down for maintenance. Check the official Mobile Legends social media channels for updates.
• Account Not Found:
  • Double-check the linked platform: Make sure you're logging in with the correct platform associated with your account.
  • Account region: If you're trying to access an account from a different region, it might not be accessible through the regular account switching methods. You might need a separate account for that region.
• Stuck on Loading Screen:
  • Restart the game: Close the game completely and relaunch it.
  • Clear cache: Clear the game's cache (as described in Method 3).
  • Reinstall the game: If all else fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
• Forgot Password:
  • Use the "Forgot Password" option on the login screen of the platform you're trying to log in to (Facebook, Google Play Games, Moonton Account).

If you've tried these troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, you can contact Moonton's customer support for assistance. They can help you resolve more complex account issues.

Tips for Secure Account Switching

Here are some additional tips to ensure your account switching is secure and hassle-free:

• Use Strong Passwords: Use strong, unique passwords for all your linked accounts (Facebook, Google Play Games, Moonton Account). Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
• Enable Two-Factor Authentication: If available, enable two-factor authentication on your linked accounts for added security.
• Be Cautious of Phishing: Be wary of suspicious links or emails that ask for your account credentials. Moonton will never ask for your password via email.
• Keep Your Devices Secure: Protect your devices with a strong password or biometric authentication (fingerprint, face unlock).
• Regularly Review Linked Accounts: Periodically review the apps and websites that have access to your linked accounts and remove any that you no longer use or trust.

By following these tips, you can minimize the risk of account compromise and ensure a smooth and secure account switching experience.

Conclusion

Binding your accounts to different platforms like Facebook, Google Play Games, or Moonton Account is the safest and most convenient way to switch between your accounts.
