You'll also find a news feed in the main menu and character management to inform you of the latest happenings in Idle Clans
More robust email registration with verification to make sure that you don't end up creating an account with an incorrectly typed email
TOTP two-factor authentication to secure your master account
Phone number 2FA is now obsolete
Migrating old accounts to the new system
Create a new master account. You'll be prompted to import all of your previously saved characters. Either import them all at once or go through them one by one if you there are characters that you don't want included. Done!
Alternatively, if you log into a character that hasn't yet been linked to a master account, you'll be prompted to create a master account and the character will automatically be linked to it. Once you have a master account, you can easily import the rest of your characters into it.
