Mobile card games have long become part of the everyday leisure of millions of users, and Durak Online occupies one of the leading positions in this segment. Over time, players often need to change their current profile, whether it's to start the game from scratch, switch to a different phone number, or use an alternative social network to log in. However, the application interface does not always intuitively suggest where exactly the exit button is hidden, which causes natural difficulties for users.
The process of changing an account on the platform Android has its own characteristics related to the authorization system through social networks or a phone number. Unlike classic services, where the “Logout” button is in an obvious place, in game clients this function is often hidden in the depths of the settings or requires specific actions. An incorrect sequence of steps can lead to loss of progress or blocking the ability to log in under a new login without first clearing the data.
In this article we will analyze in detail all the available methods for changing an account, from standard methods through the settings menu to radical measures to clear the application cache. You will learn how to correctly unlink the current profile to avoid conflicts during subsequent authorization, and what nuances should be taken into account by owners of different versions of the operating system. A competent approach to this issue will save your gaming achievements or allow you to safely create a new account.
Regular exit from the profile through the game settings
The most correct and safe way to change the user is to use the built-in functionality of the application itself. The developers have provided a mechanism for unlinking the current account so that players can switch between different profiles without deleting the game. First you need to launch Durak Online and wait for the main screen to fully load, where your avatar and statistics are displayed.
Go to the settings menu, which is usually indicated by a gear icon in the upper corner of the screen. In the window that opens, find the section responsible for managing your profile or logging in. Your current status may be displayed here, for example, “Login via VK” or “Linked number”. Click on this button or the social network icon to bring up the linking management menu.
In the list of actions that appears, select the option to log out or change user. The system may ask you to confirm your action, warning you that progress from your current session may not be saved if it has not been synchronized with the server. After confirmation, the application will return you to the authorization screen, where you can select a different login method or enter new data.
- 🎮 Go to settings through the gear icon on the main screen.
- 🔗 Click on the icon of the linked social network or phone number.
- 🚪 Select "Log out" or "Change account" in the menu that appears.
- ✅ Confirm the action and wait until you return to the login screen.
⚠️ Attention: If you are in the middle of a game game, logging out of your account may be considered by the system as a premature end to the game, which will result in penalty points or a temporary ban. Always complete the current distribution before changing your profile.
Clearing application data to reset authorization
In situations where the standard exit button is missing, does not work, or the application interface is frozen, the only effective solution is to force a data reset through the system settings Android. This method completely removes local configuration files, including authorization tokens, causing the game to behave as if it was installed for the first time the next time you launch it.
To perform this procedure, open your smartphone's settings and go to the Applications or Application Manager section. Find the installed one in the list Durak Online and click on it. In the application information menu, select “Storage” or “Memory”, where the data management buttons are located.
Click on the “Clear data” button (not to be confused with “Clear cache”, which does not delete login settings). The system will issue a warning that all local settings will be deleted. Confirm the action. After this, the game shortcut on the desktop will remain, but when launched, the application will ask for permission to access the memory and will ask you to select a login method, since the previous session will be completely reset.
Settings → Applications → Durak Online → Storage → Clear dataIt is important to understand the difference between cache and data. Clearing the cache only deletes temporary image files and logs without affecting your login. Therefore, if your goal is to change your account, you need to use the data clearing function. This is guaranteed to break the connection with the current profile at the device level.
☑️ Resetting authorization through settings
Change account through Google Play Games settings
Many mobile games, including card simulators, use the service Google Play Games for synchronization progress and achievements. If your login Durak Online was performed automatically through this service, simply clearing the game data may not help, since the system will again pick up the main Google account upon startup.
In this case, you need to change the active profile directly in the Google Play Games application. Open the application Play Games on your smartphone. In the upper right corner, click on your profile icon. In the drop-down menu you will see a list of all Google accounts added to the device.
Select the account you want to play under, or add a new one if it is not in the list. After switching, return to the game. When launched Durak Online it will try to log in through a new active Google profile. If the game supports multiple profiles within the Google ecosystem, it will offer to choose which progress to download.
| Action | Where it is performed | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Clearing game data | Android Settings | Removing the local login token |
| Changing profile | Play Games application | Changing the main Google account |
| Unlinking from the game | Durak Online settings menu | Disconnecting from a social network without deleting data |
⚠️ Attention: Changing your Google Play Games account affects all games that use this service to save progress. Make sure you don't lose achievements in other projects by switching the main system profile.
What to do if there is no exit button?
Sometimes developers remove an explicit exit button to simplify the interface. In such cases, the only way is to delete and reinstall the application, but this will only work if the progress is not strictly tied to the device ID.
Reinstalling the application as a radical method
If none of the software methods gave the desired result, you can resort to a complete reinstallation of the client. This method is especially relevant if the game files are damaged or there is a software glitch in the settings that does not allow the exit command to be processed correctly. However, before this, you should make sure that your desired new account is ready to log in.
Remove Durak Online from the device by holding the icon on the desktop and selecting the appropriate item, or through the app management menu. After removal, it is recommended to restart your smartphone to clear the RAM of residual processes of the game service. This guarantees a clean start during installation.
Download the application again from the official store Google Play or a reliable source. When you first start it, the system will not find any saved data and will prompt you to select an authorization method. It is at this moment that you can choose another social network or enter a new phone number without conflicting with the old profile.
It is worth noting that reinstallation will not help if the game uses a unique device identifier (Device ID) and does not allow you to have several profiles on one gadget without additional authorization. In such cases, you need to use the application cloning functions if they are supported by your Android shell.
- 🗑️ Completely remove the application from the device.
- 🔄 Reboot your smartphone to clear the system cache.
- 📥 Download the latest version of the game from store.
- 🔑 When you first launch, select a new login method.
Before deleting the game, take screenshots of your game nickname and statistics if you plan to return to this account later. This will help you find your profile in your friends list or through a search.
Problems with linking to social networks
The most common difficulty when changing an account is the situation when the profile is strictly linked to a social network, access to which is lost or unwanted. For example, you logged in through VK, but want to play through Odnoklassniki, and the game automatically pulls up the old account.
In most modern implementations Durak Online allows you to link several login methods to one game profile. This means that you can go to settings under your old account and link a new login method (for example, a phone number), and then unlink the old one. After this, logging out and logging in using the new method will lead to the same game progress.
If the goal is to create a completely new game profile from scratch, then you must first unlink all current login methods in the old account settings, if possible. If the game does not allow you to leave your profile unlinked, you will have to create a new account on another device or use incognito mode in the browser for the initial setup, if such an option is provided by the web version.
Sometimes the error “The account is already linked to another player” appears. This means that the new login method you selected (for example, a new phone number) was previously used in the game for a different profile. In this case, the security system prohibits duplication. You will need to either restore access to the old profile or contact support to relink it.
⚠️ Attention: The rules of social networking platforms may change. Authorization methods that work today may be changed by the game developers in future updates. Always check the latest login methods in the official game community.
Linking several login methods to one profile is the best way to secure your progress and be able to change the device or authorization method without losing data.
Frequent errors and ways to solve them
When changing an account, users often encounter common errors that easy to eliminate if you know their cause. One of the most common problems is endless loading after trying to log into a new profile. This is usually due to an unstable Internet connection or a client version conflict.
Another common situation is logging into a “guest” account instead of a registered one. This occurs if the user skipped the authorization step on the first launch after clearing data. Guest progress is only stored on the device and is easily lost. To avoid this, immediately after logging in, register or link your profile to a social network.
If the game displays an error connecting to the authorization server, check whether access to social networks is blocked on your device or region. Sometimes using a VPN can both help bypass a block and trigger a security error, so try disabling it when logging in.
What will happen to game values when you change an account?
When you switch to a completely new account, all progress, including level, maps, avatars and currency, will start from scratch. The old values will remain on the previous profile. If you simply relink the login method to the same profile, all data is saved.
Is it possible to play from two accounts on one phone?
Officially, the application only supports one active session. To play from two accounts at the same time, you need to use the “App Cloning” or “Second Space” functions, which are available in the shells of Xiaomi, Samsung and other manufacturers, or install modified versions.
How to restore access to the old account?
If you accidentally logged out and don’t remember the data, try logging in through the social network you used before. If the link was by phone number, use the function to restore access via SMS. If all else fails, you will need to contact support indicating your old nickname.
Why does the game require verification when changing devices?
This is a security measure to protect against hacking and account transfers. The system detects login from a new IP address or device and requests confirmation to ensure that the action is performed by the profile owner.
Does changing an account affect the player’s rating?
The rating is tied to a specific gaming profile. When you create a new account, your rating will be reset and you will begin matchmaking with newcomers. It is technically impossible to transfer a rating from one account to another.
