How to Secure a Game Account After Buying It (Step-by-Step)
The exact steps to lock down a Free Fire, PUBG, COC, FC Mobile or eFootball account after purchase so it stays yours forever — done within the protection window.
Buying the account is only half the job. To make sure it stays yours forever, you must secure it right after delivery — ideally during the buyer-protection window. Here is exactly how.
Do this immediately after delivery
- Change the password on the linked login (Gmail, Facebook, Supercell ID, Konami ID, etc.).
- Update the recovery email and phone to your own — remove the seller's details.
- Turn on 2-Step Verification (2FA) where the game or login supports it.
- Unlink old logins the seller controlled and link the account to your clean accounts.
- Sign out all other devices if the game offers that option.
- Test full access — log in fresh, confirm you can change settings without the old owner.
Only then confirm the order
Do all of the above before you confirm and release escrow. The protection window exists for exactly this. If anything blocks you from taking full control, do not confirm — report it.
Per-game quick notes
- Free Fire — control the linked Gmail/Facebook; change its password + 2FA.
- PUBG Mobile — secure the linked account and remove old bindings.
- Clash of Clans — move the Supercell ID to your email; verify the transfer.
- FC Mobile / eFootball — lock the Google/Konami/Game Center login to you.
Why this matters
Securing the login is what stops any attempt at account recovery. A seller who tries to reclaim a sold account is permanently banned, but locking the credentials yourself is your strongest guarantee.
