Accounts

What signing in does today, and what happens to your progress when you do.

You do not need an account

You can play without one. The game saves your progress in this browser, on this device, by itself. If you clear this browser's site data, the save goes with it. A private window may not keep it at all.

What signing in does

You sign in with one of the sign-in options the game shows. Your progress is then also kept online, tied to your account, so you can carry on from any device. That is all signing in does today.

Until you are signed in on a device, the title screen offers Sign in or Continue locally each time the game starts.

When you sign in

The game compares the progress on this device with the save online, and it overwrites nothing without asking.

• Nothing online yet. The game offers to save this device's progress online. If you say no, nothing is uploaded, and it asks again next time.
• An online save, and nothing on this device. The game loads the online save.
• Both, on a device you have not used with this account before. The game shows the two side by side: the chocolate, prestiges, Golden Beans, Gold Foil, time played and when each was last played. It asks which to keep. If you choose to replace the online save, the old one cannot be brought back. If you choose neither, nothing changes.
• Both, on a device you have used with this account before. The game keeps whichever was played last.

After that

The game saves online regularly, and again when you switch away from it. Settings shows when it last saved, and has a Save now button. If the game cannot reach the online save, you can keep playing, and it tries again later.

Sign out is in Settings too. The game saves once more first. Your progress stays on the device and stays online.

When you are signed in, Settings also has Delete account. After you confirm, it deletes your online save, your promo-code records and your account for good, and signs you out. The progress on this device stays. If you can no longer sign in, the privacy page says whom to write to.
