How to create multiple Twitter accounts and manage them — Octo Browser

Twitter users often create multiple accounts to manage client profiles, separate business social media accounts, test out different marketing strategies, or participate in cryptocurrency giveaways. While Twitter doesn’t explicitly prohibit multi-accounting, linked accounts are always at risk of getting banned. Is it possible to protect your Twitter accounts from bans? How can you bypass account number limits? We explain it all in this article.

How to Create a Twitter Account

To create an account on Twitter, you will need a unique email. Once you have one, follow these steps:

1. Go to x.com.
2. Click Create account.

3. Create an account name, provide the email address, date of birth, and click Next.

4. Check the corresponding boxes if you agree to receive recommendation emails, use your email to search for friends, and receive personalized ads. Click Next.

5. Confirm your email.

6. Create a password and select Sign up.

7. Choose a username. It doesn’t have to match your account name.

8. Decide whether you want to receive notifications from Twitter.

9. Select topics you’re interested in.

10. Follow Twitter accounts you like.

How to Add a Second Twitter Account

You’ll need a separate email address for your second Twitter account as well. The registration process varies slightly across platforms.

In the web version, you’ll need to log out of your current account. To do this, click on the three dots next to your username and choose Log out → Create profile.

On Android, tap the profile icon, then the three dots next to it, and choose Create a new account → Create account.

On iPhone, open the hamburger menu in the top left corner, then tap the profile icon and select Create a New Account.

From there, Twitter will request the same details as for your first account.

How to Switch Between Twitter Accounts

The process of connecting a second Twitter account depends on your device:

On a desktop device: Go to the news feed, click on the three dots next to your username, and then select Add an existing account.
On Android: Tap the profile icon, then the three dots next to it.
On iPhone: Click the hamburger menu, followed by the three dots.

Next, on all devices:

Select Add an existing account.

2. Enter your phone number, email or username, and click Next.

3. Enter your password and click Log in.

All done! You can now switch between your Twitter accounts.

Can I Manage Multiple Twitter Accounts

Twitter allows its users to create up to 10 accounts and log into 5 of them simultaneously. Each account must be created with a unique email, although the same phone number can be used for multiple Twitter accounts.

Each account must have and follow its own distinct subject matter. For instance, you can manage personal and work accounts or profiles for different brands.
Audiences for Twitter accounts must not overlap. For example, it’s acceptable to run accounts for the same company in different languages or countries, but you cannot create profiles for the same company or individual that compete for the same target audience.
Linked accounts should not interact with each other. Mutual likes, reposts, and comments are flagged by the Twitter anti-fraud system as manipulation.
Duplicate content is prohibited. Tweets, images, and videos across different accounts must be unique.

If one account violates platform rules, Twitter may require you to keep only one account, permanently deleting the rest.

How to Create Multiple Twitter Accounts

If 10 accounts are insufficient for you or you want them to appear as separate users to Twitter, additional tools can help.

Multiple Devices

You can create multiple Twitter accounts using separate devices. This way, you can bypass fingerprint-based tracking. By creating up to 10 accounts on each smartphone, you can protect yourself from bans for multi-accounting. The downside of this method is cost: one smartphone costs at least $50, which means you’ll spend $5 per account.

Social Media Scheduler

You can manage multiple Twitter accounts using an SMM scheduler, such as SMM Planner or Post Planner. These tools allow automatic posting and analytics. However, Twitter will still see that accounts are managed from the same device, so the risk of bans remains. For example, a basic 10-account plan in SMM Planner costs $49.

Anti-Detect Browser

Anti-detect browsers spoof the digital fingerprint at the browser kernel level. Websites perceive each user profile as new and do not link accounts. Using an anti-detect browser makes it convenient to manage multiple Twitter accounts without the risk of being banned. In Octo Browser, the Starter subscription for 10 profiles costs €29, or €2.90 per profile.

How to Manage Multiple Twitter Accounts Using an Anti-Detect Browser

Here’s how to manage several Twitter accounts using Octo Browser:

Sign up on the official Octo Browser website.
Download and install the browser.
Purchase a subscription following our guide.
Go to the Profiles tab and click Quick Profile.

The browser will create a profile with a randomized digital fingerprint. Only the operating system version will remain the same as on your device. If you want to change it, click the OS icon next to the Quick Profile button. Detailed profile customization is available by clicking Create Profile instead.

5. Click Direct next to the new profile and select Set a new proxy.

You can use your own provider’s proxies or purchase them from our partners directly in the browser. To connect third-party proxies, specify type, IP, host, port, login and password. For dynamic proxies, add an IP-change URL. Click Confirm.

To connect proxies from Octo’s built-in Proxy Shop, select the provider name and specify type, country, region and city. Click Confirm.

Note: Each virtual profile should have its own IP address. Avoid using the same proxy for different Twitter accounts.

6. Add cookies to increase the trust score of Twitter’s anti-fraud system. If you plan to work with existing accounts, export their cookies from the previous browser. Then click the three dots next to the profile and select Import Cookies.

Drag and drop the file and click Confirm.

To create a new account, prepare the profile using the Cookie Robot. Click the three dots near the profile and select Cookie Robot. Insert links to popular websites and click Confirm.

The Robot will visit each webpage and collect pixels. If there are errors in the links, the Robot will skip them.

7. Launch the profile by clicking Start.

A new browser window will open where you can log into an existing Twitter account or create a new one. Your session will be saved automatically.

When you finish, stop the profile using the Stop button.

8. Repeat these steps for other accounts. To speed up the process, you can create profiles in bulk following our guide.
