Mobile game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has long ceased to be simple entertainment and has turned into a complex ecosystem with a ranking system, e-sports tournaments and a huge amount of in-game values. This is why the issue of changing an account becomes one of the most painful for players on the platform Android. Many users buy new smartphones, decide to give the device to relatives, or simply want to start playing on a completely new profile without losing access to old achievements.
The procedure for changing an account is not as obvious as it might seem at first glance. The developers from Mobile Legends is not as obvious as it might seem at first glance. Developers from Moonton implemented a complex data linking system to protect players' progress from accidental loss or theft. Unlike simple applications, where you just need to click the โExitโ button, a strict sequence of actions is required here, especially if you plan to completely clear the device of old data before selling or transferring it.
In this article we will analyze in detail all the nuances of the procedure for unlinking and linking profiles. You will learn how to correctly switch between different types of authorization, what pitfalls the system hides Moonton ID and how to avoid account blocking if you frequently change devices. We will look at both standard methods of exiting through the settings, and radical ways to clear application data for a complete reset.
Preparing the device and checking the binding type
Before taking active steps to change your profile, you need to conduct a thorough diagnosis of the current state of your account. Logging into the game on Android can be done through various services: Google Play Games, social networks like VK or Facebook, as well as through your own developer ID Moonton ID. Understanding which method is currently being used is a critical first step.
Go to the game settings by clicking on your avatar in the upper left corner of the main screen and select the Account tab. Here you will see a list of all active login methods. If there is a checkmark next to the icon of a social network or service, it means that your progress is securely saved on the servers of this provider. However, if you see the inscription โGuestโ, the situation becomes critical.
โ ๏ธ Attention: Accounts of the โGuestโ type are stored exclusively in the memory of your current device. If you delete the game, clear the cache, or reset the phone to factory settings, this profile will be lost forever. It is impossible to restore it!
If your goal is simply to log in under a different name on the same phone, make sure you have access to the account you plan to switch to. For example, if you want to log in via VK, the application VK must be installed on your phone, and you must be logged in as the correct user. Otherwise, the system will prompt you to enter your login and password manually, which is not always convenient.
Before changing your account, take a screenshot of your current ID and nickname. This will help the support service restore access if something goes wrong during the switching process and you lose progress.
The procedure for logging out of the current profile in the game
The most civilized and safe way to change a user is to use the built-in Log Out function. This method allows you to gracefully terminate your session with the server without affecting the game files or requiring you to re-download huge resource packs. To perform this operation, run Mobile Legends and wait until the main lobby is fully loaded.
Click on your avatar icon in the upper left corner of the screen to open the profile menu. In the window that opens, find the button with the image of the key or the inscription Account (Account), usually located on the right side of the menu or in the bottom settings panel. After going to this section, you will see a button Log Out (Exit), which initiates the process of breaking the connection with the current profile.
The system will ask you to confirm the action, warning that all unsaved data may be lost. Confirm your exit by pressing OK or Confirm. The game will reboot and return you to the start login screen, where the available login methods will be offered. Now you can select another service or enter the details of a new one Moonton ID.

It is worth noting that after exiting the game, it may require re-downloading some configuration files, but the main resources (heroes, skins, maps) will remain in the device cache. This greatly speeds up the login process for a new user. However, if you plan to transfer the phone to another person forever, simply exiting the application may not be enough.
โ๏ธ Safe exit checklist
Complete clearing of application data through Android settings
Sometimes the standard exit from the game does not give the desired result, especially if cached authorization tokens of third-party services are stored on the device. In such cases, as well as when preparing a smartphone for sale, a more radical approach is required - completely clearing application data through system settings Android. This method is guaranteed to reset the game to the state โas after the first installation.โ
Open the settings of your smartphone and go to the section Applications (or Apps). Find the installed game in the list Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Tap on the name to open the application management page. Here you are interested in the item Storage (Storage) or Memory.
In the menu that opens you will see two main buttons: Clear cache and Clear data (or Reset). To completely change your account, you need to click exactly Clear data. The system will warn you that all settings files and local data will be deleted. Confirm the action.
| Action | What is being deleted | Impact on the account | Necessity of downloading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Log Out | Login session only | Account remains on the server | Minimal |
| Cache clearing | Temporary files, thumbnails | No impact | Medium (loading assets) |
| Cleaning data | All settings, tokens, cache | Full local binding reset | Full (loading all resources) |
| Deleting the application | All APK files and data | Full reset | Full (installation + download) |
โ ๏ธ Attention: After clearing the data, the game will load all resources again on the first launch. Make sure you are connected to a stable Wi-Fi to avoid mobile data charges and speed up the process.
After completing this procedure, when you launch the game, you will see the initial setup screen as if you had just installed the application from Google Play. You will be asked to select a server, configure graphics and, most importantly, select a login method. None of the previous accounts will be automatically pulled up if you have not previously logged out of them in the system settings of the phone itself (section โAccounts and synchronizationโ).
The nuances of working with Google Play Games
If you use Google login, simply deleting game data may not be enough. Go to your phone settings -> Google -> Games, and disable automatic login for Mobile Legends, otherwise the game will again offer to log in under the old profile.
Linking a new account and authorization types
When the device is cleaned and the game is restarted, the new user authorization stage begins. On the login screen Mobile Legends offers several connection options. Choosing the right method depends on where exactly the new player's progress is stored. The most universal and reliable method is considered to be using Moonton ID.
Moonton ID - this is an internal identification system that does not depend on third-party social networks. If a new user has such an account, just enter a login (usually an email) and password. This is the best option for those who want to completely separate their game progress from personal social networks. Enter the data in the appropriate fields and click the login button.
If the progress is linked to a social network, for example, VK or Facebook, make sure that you are already authorized in the browser or a separate application on your phone under the desired profile. When you click on the corresponding icon in the game, the system will redirect you to the access rights confirmation page. After confirmation, the game will automatically load all progress, heroes and skins associated with this profile.
- ๐ง Moonton ID: The most reliable method, independent of social network blocking.
- ๐ Facebook/VK: Convenient if an account has already been created, but depends on the availability of the social network.
- ๐ฎ Google Play: Automatic login linked to the main account phone.
- ๐ฑ TikTok/Huawei: Alternative login methods that are popular in certain regions.
It is important to understand that the same account Mobile Legends cannot be used simultaneously on two different devices to play ranked matches. The security system Moonton may regard this as suspicious activity and temporarily block access. Therefore, when changing devices, always correctly exit the profile on the old gadget.
Using Moonton ID is the most preferable option for long-term storage of game progress, since this method is least susceptible to external factors and blocking of third-party services.
Solving problems with switching and login errors
Despite Despite its apparent simplicity, users often encounter technical difficulties when changing accounts. One of the most common problems is the login loop, where the game constantly kicks the user to the login screen or automatically pulls up an old profile despite clearing the data. This is often due to token caching at the operating system level Android.
In such cases, it is recommended to check the partition Settings -> Applications -> Google Play Games. If the previous owner's profile or your old account is saved there, delete it from there or change the active profile. Also, the problem may lie in the fact that the application on the phone is authorized under an old user. Exiting the social network in a separate application often solves the problem of logging into the game. VK or Facebook Authorized on the phone under the old user. Logging out of the social network in a separate application often solves the problem of logging into the game.
Another common error is a message that the account is already linked to another device. This is protection against account transfer (boosting). If you change your phone on a regular basis, you may need to link the new one Moonton ID to the old progress through the feedback form in the game, but this is a complex procedure that requires confirmation of the purchase of the first diamonds.
โ ๏ธ Attention: Do not try to frequently change accounts on the same device within a short period of time. Anti-cheat algorithms can mark your device as an account โfarmโ and impose a shadow ban or restriction on participation in rated games.
If all else fails, try completely deleting the game, rebooting your smartphone and installing it again from the official store Google Play. This is guaranteed to delete all hidden configuration files that may have been saved in system folders Android.
Account security when transferring a device
If you are selling a phone or giving it to someone, simply changing your account in the game is not enough. The new owner could theoretically gain access to your data if there are traces of authorization left somewhere. Before transferring the device, be sure to completely reset your phone to factory settings (Factory Reset).
In addition, it is highly recommended to change the password for your Moonton ID or social network immediately after exiting the game on the device being sold. This will terminate all active sessions on other gadgets. Make sure that there are no passwords saved on the device in the browser or password manager Googlethat could give access to the mail associated with the game profile.
Remember that transferring accounts to third parties violates the user agreement Moonton. If controversial situations arise or the account is hacked after the transfer, the support service will most likely refuse to restore access, since the owner will not be able to confirm the initial profile creation data.
How to protect yourself when selling

Is it possible to play on two Mobile Legends accounts from one phone?

What should I do if I forgot my Moonton ID password?
On the login screen, click the โForgot your password?โ button. You will receive a reset link via email. If mail is also unavailable, it will be extremely difficult to restore your account; you will need to contact support with purchase receipts.
Will my heroes and skins disappear when I change my account?

Can the new owner of the phone access my account?
Only if you have not left your profile and have not changed your password. If you have completely reset your phone and changed your mail/Moonton ID password, the new owner will not be able to access your account.
