There are two different ways you can start a new game: you can create a basic Guest Account, or you can log in with Facebook. (You can also link your Facebook login to your Guest account later on.) These two types of accounts have different abilities.
Guest Account
A guest account is the most limited type of account. You don't need a login or password, just click on the Guest button on the login screen.
Limitations of Guest Accounts:
- You cannot transfer your game account to a new device.
- If you uninstall the game, you lose your account (unless you bind to mail, see below)
- You don't have a Friends List.
Facebook-linked Account
To remove the guest limitations, link your account to your Facebook login. You can only bind one Love Nikki account to one Facebook account and this can NOT be undone.
There are 2 ways to bind to your Facebook account:
- Start a new game using your Facebook login:: Click the "Facebook" option on the login screen. A pop-up will appear, enter your Facebook email/password into the pop-up, then give Love Nikki permission to see your name/profile picture and your friends list.
- Upgrade an existing Guest Account: Click the "bind Account" button on the right hand side of the main screen. When there are a lot of active events, the "bind Account" button may be pushed to the second page of the events list.
Advantages of Facebook-Linked Accounts:
- Can log into your game from multiple devices (or retrieve your info if you have to re-install.)
- Can add other players to a Friends List (they do NOT need to be your Facebook friends), send/receive
Stamina, and vote for them in Competitions. - Can receive extra bonuses by "Sharing" progress to your Facebook wall.
- Will receive the Pink Wishes suit.
Bind to Mail
This is an extra security option available for both Facebook and Guest games.[1] After logging in, click on your avatar picture, then Settings, then select "Bind Account with Mail". Type in your email address and a password.
Advantages of binding an email:
- For Guest accounts: If you delete the Love Nikki app, you can reinstall the app (on the same device only!) and reactivate your account.
- For Facebook accounts: You can use the email/password combination to log into your game if you forget your Facebook password (or if you delete or deactivate your Facebook page).
