✏️ What changed: Full rewrite for 2026 — updated Supercell ID multi-account process (up to 5 accounts), Remember Me feature detail, 2026 reasons to run a second account (TH13 alt meta, Dragon Duke prep), fixed all broken internal links

⚡ KEY TAKEAWAYS

Supercell ID supports up to 5 separate CoC accounts on one device — each linked to a different email address.
The “Remember Me” feature lets you save multiple accounts for quick switching without logging out every time.
Each account needs its own unique email address — you cannot link two accounts to the same Supercell ID.
The process takes under 10 minutes to set up a second account from scratch.
In 2026, the most popular reason for a second account is running a TH13–TH14 alt alongside a TH17/TH18 main for CWL depth and Capital Raids.
If you want to skip the months of grinding on your second account, pre-built TH13 accounts are available with instant Supercell ID transfer.

How to Make a Second Account on Clash of Clans in 2026

Q: Does creating a second account affect my main account?

No. Each account is completely independent. Disconnecting your main to start a new account doesn't affect your main village — it remains saved to your Supercell ID and is retrievable the moment you reconnect.

Q: Can I have two accounts in the same clan?

Yes — multiple accounts in the same clan is allowed for donations, Clan Games, and Capital Raids. Using multiple accounts in the same CWL war lineup to manipulate matchmaking is against Supercell's fair play policy.

Q: What is the best TH level for a second account in 2026?

TH13 is the most popular second-account tier — it covers CWL depth, Capital Raids, and donations without premium pricing. TH14 adds Pet House access. TH15 is useful for testing Dragon Duke compositions before your main reaches that level.

To make a second Clash of Clans account in 2026: log out from your current account via Settings → Supercell ID → Disconnect, then tap “Play Without Supercell ID” to start a fresh village. After completing the tutorial, link this new village to a different email address. Enable “Remember Me” on both accounts to switch between them without logging out.

Supercell ID now supports up to five accounts per device — and switching between them is far simpler than it was before 2020. This guide covers the complete 2026 process, answers common questions, and explains what your second account is actually useful for.

Why Run a Second Clash of Clans Account in 2026?

Before the step-by-step process, it’s worth knowing what most players actually use a second account for in 2026 — because the answer shapes which type of second account makes sense for you.

⚔️ CWL Roster Depth (Most Common Reason)

CWL in 2026 runs 5v5 for Bronze through Crystal leagues. A TH13 or TH14 second account fills a lower war slot, meaning your clan’s main players don’t carry the entire CWL lineup. A well-developed alt earns its own League Medals — covering its own Magic Hammer supply independently of your main.

💰 Clan Capital Raid Weekend

A second account doubles your Raid Weekend attacks — double the Raid Medals, double the Research Potions from the Trader. For players who max their main account’s Lab faster by adding a second Potion source, this alone justifies the alt.

🧪 Testing Attacks and Strategies

Running a second account at a lower TH level gives you a risk-free environment to test new army compositions, practice TH layouts, and experiment with attack strategies before deploying them on your main in a CWL war.

🎮 Playing at a Different Pace

Some players enjoy running a fresh playthrough at lower TH levels without the pressure of their high-level main’s CWL and war obligations. A second account runs on its own timeline with no stakes on the main village.

What You Need Before Making a Second Account

Two things to prepare before starting:

✅ A second email address

Each Supercell account requires its own unique email. You cannot link two CoC villages to the same Supercell ID. If you don’t have a spare email, create one before starting — it takes two minutes and is the only real prerequisite. Gmail, Outlook, or any provider works.

✅ Your current account already linked to Supercell ID

If your main account isn’t linked yet, link it first (Settings → Supercell ID → Connect). This protects your main village from the disconnect step in the process below — your main account will be saved and retrievable after you start the new one.

📌 Device limit: Supercell ID supports up to 5 linked accounts per device. If you already have 4 accounts on your device, you can add one more. Beyond 5, you’d need a second device or to unlink one of the existing accounts.

How to Make a Second Account on CoC — Step by Step (2026)

Open Settings and disconnect from your current Supercell ID

Open Clash of Clans → tap the Settings gear (bottom right of the village screen) → scroll to Supercell ID → tap Connected → tap Disconnect. This does NOT delete your current account — it simply detaches it from this device session. Your main village remains saved to your Supercell ID and is retrievable at any time.

Tap “Play Without Supercell ID” on the login screen

After disconnecting, the game returns to the login screen. Tap Play Without Supercell ID. If a pop-up appears saying your previous account was found, tap Cancel — this means the game is trying to reload your main. Tapping Cancel starts the new village creation process.

Complete the new account tutorial

A new village will generate and walk you through the beginner tutorial. This is unavoidable — every new account starts here. The tutorial takes 3–5 minutes. Complete it, set your village name, and reach Town Hall 2 (triggered at the end of the tutorial sequence).

Link the new village to a different Supercell ID (new email)

After the tutorial: tap Settings → Supercell ID → Connect → enter your second email address. Verify the code sent to that email. This links the new village to its own Supercell ID — independent of your main account. Both accounts now exist under separate Supercell IDs.

Enable “Remember Me” on both accounts for quick switching

When logging into each Supercell ID, tap Remember Me. This saves both accounts on the device. From now on, tap Settings → Supercell ID → select the account you want to switch to — no manual login required. Both villages are accessible from the same Supercell ID selector screen.

💡 Quick switch tip: After enabling “Remember Me” on both accounts, switching takes under 30 seconds: Settings → Supercell ID → tap the other account thumbnail → the new village loads directly. No password required, no logout/login cycle. This is what makes running two accounts on one device genuinely practical.

How to Add a Purchased CoC Account to Your Device

If you bought a second account (or are using a pre-built account from Clash Markets), the process is slightly different — you’re not starting from scratch, you’re adding an existing village.

Disconnect from your current account (same as Step 1 above)

Settings → Supercell ID → Connected → Disconnect. Your main is saved and retrievable.

Tap “Log In With Supercell ID” and enter the provided credentials

Enter the email and verification code from the account you received. The village loads immediately. You now have access to the purchased account.

Immediately secure the account — change the linked email

In Settings → Supercell ID, change the linked email to one you own and control. This is the most important security step. Full walkthrough in our account security guide.

Log back into your main account and enable “Remember Me” on both

Disconnect from the new account, log back into your main, enable “Remember Me” on both. Now both villages are saved for instant switching.

Skip the Grind on Your Second Account

Building a TH13 second account from scratch takes 10–12 months. Clash Markets’ pre-built TH13 and TH14 accounts come with the Royal Champion, Scattershots, and solid hero levels — delivered via Supercell ID in under 5 minutes. Lifetime Warranty. No middlemen.

How to Switch Between Multiple CoC Accounts on One Device

Once both accounts are linked with “Remember Me” enabled, switching is fast. Here is the exact flow:

📱 Switching (30 seconds)

Tap the Settings gear icon in your village
Scroll to Supercell ID and tap it
Tap the account thumbnail you want to switch to
The village loads in under 10 seconds — no password required

All saved accounts appear as thumbnails on the Supercell ID screen. You can save up to 5 accounts this way per device. Tapping any thumbnail instantly loads that village. No manual login, no email verification needed after the initial setup.

What’s the Best Town Hall Level for a Second Account in 2026?

The right TH level for your second account depends on what you need it for:

Use Case	Best TH Level	Why
CWL depth filler	TH13	Fits Bronze–Silver CWL slots; Royal Champion makes war attacks functional immediately
Capital Raid + Lab acceleration	TH13 or TH14	Independent Raid Medal + Research Potion income; TH14 adds Pet House for more attack variety
Strategy testing	TH14 or TH15	TH15 unlocks Dragon Duke (6th hero) — useful for testing Duke-based army compositions before your main gets there
Donation account	TH13	Most troop tiers available; cheap to maintain; no pressure for war attacks

💡 The TH13 sweet spot: TH13 is consistently the most popular second-account tier. It unlocks the Royal Champion (5th hero), two Scattershots, full CWL access, and Clan Capital participation — enough to be genuinely useful in every shared content mode — without the premium pricing of TH17+. For more on what makes TH13 the right alt choice, see our TH13 account guide.

Frequently Asked Questions — Second CoC Accounts

How many CoC accounts can I have on one device?

Supercell ID supports up to 5 accounts saved on a single device via the “Remember Me” feature. Each account requires a separate email address. If you already have 5 accounts saved and want to add another, you’d need to either use a second device or unlink one of the existing accounts first.

Does creating a second account affect my main account?

No — each account is completely independent. They share no resources, no builder timers, no progress. Disconnecting your main to start the new account process doesn’t affect your main village in any way; it remains saved to your Supercell ID and is retrievable the moment you reconnect.

Can I have two accounts in the same clan?

Yes — multiple accounts in the same clan is allowed and common for donations, Clan Games, and Capital Raids. What’s against Supercell’s fair play policy is using multiple accounts in the same CWL war lineup to manipulate matchmaking or war results. Using your main and alt in separate CWL lineups within the same clan is fine; putting both in the same war is the line not to cross.

Is it worth building a second account from scratch or buying one?

Building from scratch takes 10–12 months to reach a functional TH13 for CWL. If you want the alt to be useful immediately — contributing to CWL and Capital Raids from day one — a pre-built account gets you there instantly. Buying accounts violates Supercell’s ToS, so review the risk before deciding. If the grind timeline works for you, building from scratch is the zero-risk option.

What is the best TH level for a second account in 2026?

TH13 is consistently the most popular second-account tier among high-level mains. It covers the three main alt use cases — CWL depth, Capital Raids, and donations — without the premium pricing of TH16+. TH14 is the upgrade if you want Pet House access and higher hero caps for more meaningful war attacks. TH15 makes sense if you specifically want to test Dragon Duke compositions before your main reaches that level.
