User Accounts

A username in gold verifies that that person has an account.

User Accounts is a feature that allows Geometry Dash progress data to be backed up onto an external cloud-based server. The process links the game profile to a personal account under a unique username, providing a more efficient means of accessing saved data on other devices while also reducing the possibility of losing it. That username is then marked as gold when viewed by other users, and subsequently cannot be re-used. This makes other users able to tap another user's name and see their published levels.

Creating an account

The account configuration section can be found through the "Options" menu (opened by the gear icon on the main menu). In order to create an account, a username and password must be chosen. As part of authorizing it, an email address is also required. By submitting the aforementioned information, a confirmation link will be sent to the email address, which must be opened afterwards to successfully activate the account. This will make it usable, and the user will be able to sign in with their username and password and backup their data. However, there are three features to this data collection system:

• Save: Save your progress even when you only have a little. There is no automatic save so make sure to save the data frequently.

• Load: When logged into your account from either the main device or another, recover all content stored on your account, and merge it with the content you have on the device if any, whichever is the better score.

• Help: This will allow you to send an e-mail to RobTop with a complaint about the backup system, or just log out of your account.

Please note that when you log out of your account, you should save your progress. Failure to save your progress can result in an automatic wipe of the account. When logging into your account, please note before you start playing the map packs or the maps RobTop has made, you should always press the "Load" button. This will make it so you have all your progress back. Along with the "Load" button, be very careful and take your time getting used to the buttons because if you accidentally press the "Load" button, it will load the most recent progress saved. The good advantage is RobTop has built in a confirmation button after pressing "Save" or "Load". When pressing yes, your data will be overridden.

Trivia

• There was a bug in Update 1.9, when syncing 1 account with 2 devices, you could get free 30 coins anytime you synced.
• If you loaded your Geometry Dash data into Geometry Dash Lite, you would acquire the data you had in the full version into the lite version. Although, the icons you gather were those introduced in Update 1.6 and before.
