The mobile industry is developing rapidly, and many gamers, having started playing Mobile Legends: Bang Bang several years ago, are now faced with the desire to start all over again. The reasons may be different: loss of access to the old profile, the desire to try out new roles from scratch, or simply the need for a fresh start without the burden of past mistakes and ratings.
However, the process of creating a new account in this popular MOBA game on the platform Android is not always as obvious as it seems at first glance. The developers at Moonton have implemented a strict system for linking progress to external services to prevent data loss, but this creates certain difficulties for those who want to reset progress. In this article, we will analyze in detail all the legal and technical ways to create a new account.
Preparing the device and clearing application data
The first and most important step before starting registration is preparing your smartphone. If you already have the game installed with an authorized old account, simply deleting the icon from your desktop will not be enough. The system Android retains the cache and application data even after they are uninstalled in some launchers, or they remain when reinstalled.
You need to completely clear application data through system settings. This action will return the game to its "first launch" state, removing all local settings and temporary authorization files. To do this, go to Settings → Applications → Mobile Legends and select Storage.
Here you will see two buttons: “Clear cache” and “Clear data”. It is important to click on the second option. After completing this procedure, the next time you start the game, you will be asked to download the resources again and will offer to choose a login method as if you had installed it for the first time.
☑️ Preparing to create an account
Before clearing data, make sure that your old account is securely linked to mail or social networks if you plan to return to it in the future, since a local reset does not restore cloud saves without linking.
Select registration method: Moonton, Google Play or social network
After clearing the data and restarting the game, you will be taken to the welcome screen. Here the system will offer several login options. The specific method you choose depends on your goals and the availability of additional accounts. Each of them has its own characteristics in terms of security and access restoration.
The most universal and recommended method is registration through ID Moonton. This method allows you to create an account that is independent of specific social networks or app stores. You can link it to an email, which gives you maximum control over your profile.
Alternative options include logging in via Google Play Games, VK Play (for the CIS region), Facebook or TikTok. Using these services is convenient because it does not require remembering a new password, but it creates a dependency: if you lose access to your Google or VK account, you will also lose progress in the game.
Step-by-step guide for creating a Moonton ID
Let's consider the most reliable scenario - creating a unique Moonton account. This process requires care, as an error in entering your email may make it impossible to recover your password in the future. Click on the icon Moonton Account on the login screen.
In the window that opens, select the registration option. You will be prompted to enter your email address. Use a valid mailbox to which you have full access. The system will send a verification code or activation link to it.
Next you need to come up with a unique nickname password. The password must meet security requirements: contain letters of different case and numbers. After filling out all the fields, click the confirmation button.
If all the data is entered correctly, the game will automatically create a new profile with level 1. You will have to go through a short training task, after which the full functionality will open. Don't forget to confirm your registration via a letter sent to your email in order to activate the recovery function.
What to do if the email is busy?
If the system reports that the email is already in use, this means that an account was previously registered for this email. Try to recover the password from your old account or use a different email address for a new registration.
Registration through third-party services (Google, VK, Facebook)
Using third-party services to log in significantly speeds up the process, but requires a second account in the corresponding social network or store. For example, if your main profile is already linked to an old game, you need to add a new Google account to the settings of the smartphone itself. Go to Google is already linked to the old game, you need to add a new Google account to the settings of the smartphone itself.
Go to Settings → Accounts → Add account → Google. Enter your new email details. After this, return to the game, select login through Google Play, and the system will prompt you to select one of the available profiles. Select the one you just added.
A similar scheme works with VK i Facebook. If you already have a second profile on a social network, simply select it from the list when logging in. If not, you will need to go through the registration procedure in your browser or social network application before entering the game.
| Login method | Difficulty | Security | Addiction |
|---|---|---|---|
| ID Moonton | Medium | High | Email only |
| Google Play | Low | Medium | Google Account |
| VK Play | Low | Medium | Profile VK |
| Low | Medium | FB profile |
Remember that linking to social networks may be inconvenient in regions where access to these platforms is limited or unstable. In such cases, ID Moonton remains the only stable option.
Solving problems with binding and login errors
When creating a new account, users often encounter technical difficulties. One common problem is the linking error, when the game claims that the account is already linked to another ID. This often happens when trying to use a “guest” login that was accidentally linked earlier.
Another common problem is the inability to receive a verification code by email. In this case, check your Spam or Promotions folder. Also make sure that you have not exceeded the limit of code requests in a short period of time.
⚠️ Attention: Never use third-party apps to “reset” your account or generate resources. Such actions are almost guaranteed to lead to permanent blocking of your device and IP address by Moonton servers.
If the game crashes when you try to log in through a specific service, try updating the social network application itself or Google Play services. A software version conflict often prevents the correct transfer of authorization tokens.
Most login errors can be resolved by completely clearing the cache of not only the game, but also the application through which you are trying to log in (for example, the VK application cache or Google Play Services).
Important nuances of security and recovery
Having created a new account, many players relax, believing that progress is now safe. However, the new profile is just as vulnerable as the old one, especially if it is not securely linked. Be sure to set up two-factor authenticationif the service allows it.
Write down your User ID (digital profile identifier) in a safe place. It can be found in the top corner of the game's main screen. The support team will need this number if you forget your password or lose access to your email.
You should also pay attention to the community rules. Since you are starting from scratch, any ban on a new account will be perceived by the system as creating an “alt-account” to bypass the block, which can lead to the blocking of all your profiles, including the main one.
⚠️ Attention: The game interface and button layout may vary slightly depending on the client version and region. If you do not find the described button, check with the official help center inside the game.
Is it possible to restore an old account after creating a new one?
Yes, this is possible if the old account was linked to an email or social network. You just need to exit the current profile in the game settings (Account → Switch Account → Log Out) and enter the old one using the appropriate data.
What happens if I delete the game without linking my account?
If you played as a “Guest” and did not link your profile to Moonton, Google or VK, then after deleting the game or clearing the data, your progress will be lost forever. It is almost impossible to restore a guest account.
How many Mobile Legends accounts can you have on one phone?
Technically, you can have an unlimited number of accounts. To switch between them, use the “Switch account” function in the settings or the application cloning function (App Twin), if it is supported by your Android firmware.
Why does the game require verification every time you log in?
This is a Moonton security measure to protect against hacking. If you log in from a new device or after resetting your data, the system may request a code from an SMS or letter to confirm that this is really the account owner.
