Multiple accounts: Best practices

Indigo is a powerful tool that enables you to run browser profiles that websites recognize as distinct native devices. This capability helps you avoid account restrictions and accelerate your business growth. Let's explore the 5 essential steps for effectively managing multiple accounts.

Step-by-Step Guide​

Step 1: Setting up your profile​

  1. Select the operating system: it should match your actual OS (macOS, Windows, Linux) so that there are no inconsistencies in fingerprints
  2. Select browser type: Mimic is built on the Chrome engine, and Stealthfox is built on Firefox
  3. Select a storage type: if you plan to run your profile on multiple devices or share access to it with colleagues, use cloud storage to synchronize data
Important

These core settings cannot be modified after profile creation. Choose carefully!

Pro Tip

For your convenience, browser fingerprints will be generated automatically and optimized for maximum protection against blocking. But you can still change the settings you need. Read more about this here.

Step 2: Changing your IP​

We recommend using a different IP for each profile with a separate account on the target site.

Proxy Selection

Mobile or residential proxies are recommended for most use cases. Learn more about choosing the right proxy type.

Step 3: Using cookies​

Browser cookies are crucial for emulating authentic user behavior. Most users accumulate activity before creating accounts on major platforms.

Why Cookies Matter

Major platforms like Google and Facebook analyze cookies to understand user behavior, even before account creation. Missing cookies can trigger suspicion.

Step 4: Creating or importing accounts​

Key Requirements​

  • Use separate profiles with unique IPs
  • Ensure all registration details differ:
    • Names
    • Email addresses
    • Payment methods
    • Phone numbers
  • Match proxy location with:
    • Geolocation of phone numbers
    • Origin of the card (if used)

Step 5: Warming up accounts​

Typically, accounts are created for the specific purpose of running advertisements, selling or buying goods, etc. But you should not start these actions immediately after creating an account. At this point, it's important to revisit behavioral factors in terms of what a typical user would do.

New accounts are always under the radar of anti-fraud systems. The lack of behavioral data and history puts them at risk.

Trusted Accounts

Consider using accounts from family and friends - they come with established behavioral data and higher trust levels.
