Conquer Clash of Clans: A Comprehensive Guide to Creating a Second Supercell ID
To get a second Supercell ID in Clash of Clans, you’ll need a separate email address that isn’t already associated with a Supercell ID. Navigate to the game’s settings, tap the Supercell ID button, and select “Register New.” Follow the prompts, using the new email address. A verification code will be sent to that email; enter the code to complete the registration process.
Mastering Multiple Accounts: Why and How
Clash of Clans, the strategy behemoth from Supercell, has captivated millions with its blend of base building, troop deployment, and clan warfare. For many players, a single village isn’t enough. They crave the challenge of managing multiple accounts, each with its unique progression, strategy, and clan affiliations. Perhaps you want to experiment with different base layouts without jeopardizing your main village, or maybe you want to support your clan with additional accounts for war. Whatever the reason, creating a second (or even more!) Supercell ID is the key.
The Supercell ID Advantage
Before diving into the “how,” let’s underscore the “why” of Supercell ID. It’s Supercell’s unified account system, designed to seamlessly connect all your Supercell games – Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, Hay Day, and Boom Beach. It offers several advantages:
- Account Security: Supercell ID eliminates the need for passwords, replacing them with secure, one-time verification codes sent to your email address each time you log in. This significantly reduces the risk of account hacking.
- Cross-Device Play: Switch between your devices (Android and iOS) without losing progress. Your village is stored securely on Supercell’s servers, linked to your Supercell ID.
- Easy Account Switching: Effortlessly switch between multiple Clash of Clans accounts on the same device, as long as each account is linked to a separate Supercell ID.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Second Supercell ID
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process:
-
Ensure You Have a Separate Email Address: This is paramount. Each Supercell ID must be linked to a unique email address. If you don’t have one, create a new Gmail, Yahoo, or any other email account.
-
Open Clash of Clans and Access Settings: Launch the game on your device (Android or iOS) and tap the gear icon in the lower-right corner of the screen to open the Settings menu.
-
Locate the Supercell ID Button: In the Settings menu, you’ll find a button labeled “Supercell ID.” It might display “Connected” if you already have a Supercell ID linked to your current account. Tap on this button.
-
Register New: In the Supercell ID screen, look for an option like “Register Now” or “Register New.” Tap this button to begin the registration process for a new Supercell ID. If you are logged in, you may need to log out first.
-
Enter Your New Email Address: You’ll be prompted to enter the email address you want to associate with your new Supercell ID. Carefully type in the new email address you prepared in Step 1. Double-check for any typos.
-
Verification Code: Supercell will send a six-digit verification code to the email address you entered. Check your email inbox (including your spam or junk folder) for this email. It usually arrives within a few minutes.
-
Enter the Verification Code: In the game, enter the six-digit verification code you received in your email. Make sure you type it correctly.
-
Confirm and Enjoy!: Once you’ve entered the correct verification code, your new Supercell ID is created and linked to your Clash of Clans account. You’ll receive a confirmation message.
Important Considerations
- Gmail Aliases: While Gmail allows you to create aliases by adding “+alias” to your existing address (e.g., yourname+coc1@gmail.com), Supercell might not recognize these as unique email addresses. It’s best to use completely separate email accounts.
- Keep Your Email Addresses Secure: Treat the email addresses linked to your Supercell IDs with the same care you would any important online account. Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible.
- Lost Access? If you lose access to the email address associated with your Supercell ID, recovering your account can be challenging. Make sure you have recovery options set up for your email account.
Switching Between Accounts
Once you have multiple Supercell IDs, switching between your Clash of Clans accounts is straightforward:
-
Open Clash of Clans and Access Settings: Same as before, launch the game and tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.
-
Tap Supercell ID: Tap the “Supercell ID” button in the Settings menu.
-
Log Out: Tap the gear icon on this screen, then tap Log Out.
-
Log in with Another Account: On the game loading screen, tap “Supercell ID”. This will bring up a list of saved Supercell IDs and also the option to log in with another account using email.
-
Enter Email and Verification Code: Enter the email address associated with the Clash of Clans account you want to switch to. Supercell will send a verification code to that email. Enter the code when prompted.
-
Enjoy Your Other Village: You’ll be logged into the Clash of Clans account linked to that Supercell ID.
Supercell’s Stance on Multiple Accounts
It’s crucial to understand Supercell’s policy on multiple accounts. While they technically allow it, they have rules to prevent abuse:
- Fair Play: Do not use multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage over other players. For instance, using a lower-level account to intentionally manipulate matchmaking in clan wars is a violation of the Terms of Service.
- No Account Sharing: Sharing accounts (even between friends or family members) is strictly prohibited and can result in account bans. Each account must be used solely by the individual who created it.
- No Botting or Third-Party Software: Using bots or any third-party software to automate gameplay on multiple accounts is a serious violation of the Terms of Service and can lead to permanent account bans.

The Games Learning Society explores the intersection of games, learning, and education, providing a platform for research and innovation.
Managing multiple accounts can enhance strategic thinking, resource management, and organizational skills. The skills developed can go beyond the game.
