Unlock the Full Teyvat: Mastering Multiple Genshin Impact Accounts (and Not Getting Banned)
You love Genshin Impact. Welcome! You might want that rare five-star character. Or, you enjoy starting fresh in Teyvat. Whatever it is, you may consider managing multiple accounts. How can you do this without upsetting Hoyoverse or getting lost in logins?
The Same Email Address? Yes, with a Little Trickery!
You can use the same email address for multiple Genshin Impact accounts. This is not digital magic. The secret? Email aliases, particularly if you use Gmail.
Gmail’s Genius “+ Addressing” (Plus Addressing)
Gmail offers “+ addressing,” also known as “plus addressing.” It’s clever for this situation. It allows you to create variations of your email without extra setup.
If your main email is adventurer@gmail.com, you can set up accounts using these:
- adventurer+genshin1@gmail.com
- adventurer+reroll@gmail.com
- adventurer+altaccount@gmail.com
Notice the pattern? You add a “+” followed by any text before the “@” symbol. All emails sent to these “+ aliases” still arrive in your main inbox. Gmail ignores everything after the “+”. It’s efficient, right?
Beyond Gmail: Alias Options with Other Email Providers
Gmail isn’t the only provider with this feature. Outlook.com and Yahoo Mail also offer similar options. The method may vary, but the principle is the same: create variations of your email for multiple accounts. Search your email provider’s help docs for “email aliases” if you need help.
Putting Aliases to Work for Genshin Impact
You know about aliases; now how to use them for Genshin Impact accounts? It’s easy.
- When signing up for Genshin Impact, use an email alias. For rerolling, use adventurer+reroll@gmail.com.
- Keep track of aliases. Organizing helps you know which alias belongs to which account. All emails go to your inbox, but aliases can clarify things.
- Consider different purposes for aliases. Use one for your main account, another for rerolling, and maybe one for forums or newsletters. This helps manage emails related to each purpose.
A Few Words of Caution About Email Aliases
Before you create too many Genshin accounts, keep a few things in mind:
- Not all services support aliases. While Genshin Impact works with email aliases, some might require unique addresses. If needed, get a separate email.
- Always verify your email. Whether using an alias or not, complete the verification process when signing up to ensure everything is set.
- Password security matters. Using the same password across accounts is risky! Use strong, unique passwords for each account. A password manager can help.
Gmail “Salts” – Rerolling Pro-Tip
Let’s discuss rerolling. If you’re serious about getting a better start in Genshin Impact, Gmail aliases are useful. Some call these “Gmail salts,” a term for the same “+ addressing” trick.
Using Gmail salts speeds up rerolling. Instead of making new email addresses for each attempt, simply modify the alias. Rerolling becomes less tedious!
Beyond Aliases: Other Paths to Multiple Accounts
If aliases are not ideal, there are other ways to manage Genshin Impact accounts.
The easiest option? Use different email addresses. This may seem obvious. Make new accounts with any provider for each Genshin Impact account. It might add to your email accounts, but it ensures complete separation.
Another choice is to use different login methods. Genshin Impact lets you connect accounts like Google, Facebook, Apple ID, or PlayStation Network. If you haven’t linked everything to one central Hoyoverse account, use these platforms for separate Genshin logins.
The Rerolling Ritual: A Necessary Evil (for Some)
We’ve mentioned rerolling. Let’s clarify what it means in Genshin Impact. Rerolling is recycling accounts for better gacha luck.
Here’s how it works:
- Create a new Genshin Impact account using an alias or different email.
- Play through early game until you unlock the Wish system.
- Perform your initial Wishes. Hope for the best!
- If you’re unsatisfied with your pulls, here comes the “reroll” step.
- Delete the account and repeat. Yes, delete it and start again, hoping for better luck in finding characters. It takes time, but it may be worth it for specific character aims.
Account Management 101: Deletion, Recovery, and Unlinking
If you manage accounts, you may delete one, recover a lost one, or unlink accounts from platforms. Here’s a quick guide for Genshin Impact.
Bidding Farewell: Deleting a Genshin Impact Account
Want to delete an old reroll account or simplify your Genshin life? You can delete your account, but think carefully before proceeding.
You’ll find deletion options within game settings, likely under “Account” or “User Center.” Look for “Request Account Deletion.” The game will show a confirmation page with important consequences.
If you delete your account, you lose everything tied to it. This includes game progress, characters, weapons, Primogems, and any subscriptions. Treatment is strict. Hoyoverse means “proceed with caution.” Deletion is permanent.
Lost and Found: Account Recovery
If you misplaced your login details, it happens. If you cannot access your Genshin Impact account, recovery is necessary.
The standard method is to contact Genshin Impact customer support. Send an account recovery email to support (genshin_cs@hoyoverse.com). Provide details about your account to prove ownership. Include your in-game name, UID, linked email, last login date, and device info. More information assists recovery.
Breaking Ties: Unlinking Accounts
Need to unlink your Genshin Impact account from a platform? It varies by platform.
- Unlinking PSN: For PlayStation Network accounts, you’ll need to contact customer support via email (genshin_cs@hoyoverse.com). Use “PSN Account Unlink Request” as the subject.
- Unlinking Apple ID: Unlinking your Apple account is generally straightforward. Within the game, go to settings, then “Account,” and find “User Center.” There should be an “Unlink Account” option for your Apple ID.
- Unlinking Email: To unlink your email, log into your Hoyoverse account through their website. Once logged in, find the option to unlink your current email address in account settings.
Account Sharing and Security: The Don’ts of Genshin Accounts
Let’s
get one thing clear: account sharing in Genshin Impact is forbidden. This violates terms of service and is against Hoyoverse’s rules.
The Risks: Account Sharing Consequences
Account sharing can result in serious consequences, including permanent bans. Hoyoverse discourages sharing to protect account safety and ensure fair play. Sharing your login info, whether with friends or strangers, is risky.
Account Safety: Scams Ahead
Besides bans, sharing accounts and buying/selling them exposes you to scams. Giving out your account details is dangerous. You could lose your account, your items, and money if you trust dishonest sellers or buyers. The best way? Keep your account private.
Account Limits: Gmail Policies
If you want to create many Gmail aliases for rerolling in Genshin, be aware of this: Google limits linked Gmail accounts per phone number to four. This rule is due to Google, not Genshin. Use phone verification wisely. For Gmail limits, check this Gmail account limits article.
Genshin Account Facts: Quick Guide
Before we finish, here are some facts about Genshin Impact accounts to enhance your understanding.
Play Anywhere: Cross-Save Options
Want to shift from playing Genshin Impact on your PlayStation to your PC or mobile? The game supports cross-save! To enable this, you must link your PSN and other platform accounts to the same Hoyoverse account. This way, your progress transfers easily.
Device Hopping: One Login
You can log in to your Genshin Impact account on PC, PS4/PS5, and mobile with the same login details. This makes it easy to play wherever you feel the Genshin urge.
Online Only: No Offline Play
For those hoping for offline adventures: Genshin Impact needs a constant internet connection. Teyvat is best explored online.
The Paimon Menu: Game Command Center
Need settings adjustments, checking inventory, or teleporting? The Paimon Menu is important. It’s the pause menu accessible by tap or click. Most essential game functions can be found here.
Deleting Progress: How It Works
Can you delete progress in Genshin Impact? Yes, but not directly. There isn’t a reset button. To “delete progress,” you must delete the entire account. There’s no option to wipe progress while keeping the account active.
Inactive Accounts: No Deletion
Worried about account loss during breaks? Your Genshin Impact account stays safe! No auto-deletes occur due to inactivity. You can return without losing your account.
The Stellar Reunion: Welcome Back!
If you return after a long break from Genshin Impact (14 days or more of inactivity), you may see the Stellar Reunion event. This event welcomes you back with rewards and bonuses to help you catch up. Hoyoverse wants to say, “We missed you!”
Managing multiple Genshin Impact accounts can feel complex. With these tips, you’ll navigate easily. Play wisely, secure your accounts, and may your pulls be successful!
