	'''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 (with a lock sign) 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~~.		{{WIP}}

User accounts were officially introduced in [[Update 1.9]], giving the player the ability to save and transfer data between devices. The account system would be improved later in [[Update 2.0]].
			==Description==
			[[File:ProfileSettings.png\|right\|270px]]
			A profile page showcases a logged-in player's current [[Icon Kit\|icons]], displaying their current cube, ship (or jetpack if selected), ball, UFO, wave, robot, spider, swing. In addition, profile pages also showcase a player's global [[Leaderboards]] rank and respective alongside some [[collectibles]], including:
			*Stars
			*Moons
			*Secret Coins
			*User Coins
			*Demon levels count
			*Creator points (if any)
			On the profile page, players can send and receive private messages from one user to another, send and respond to friend requests, and block other users from viewing their profile or sending friend requests. Players can leave personal messages for others to read and can also like or dislike them. Players can also view all comments made by a specific user, sorted by either recency or number of likes. When viewing a different player's profile page, there are options to follow them, view the player's created levels, or view their created lists.

	~~- "Save" which allows you~~ to ~~actually save your progress even when you only have a little~~. ~~There is no automatic save so make sure~~ to ~~save your~~ profile ~~once in a while!~~		The profile page settings, accessible by tapping the gear icon, include options that allow the player to choose who is able to send messages (anyone, friends or none) and friend requests (all or none) to them. The player can also toggle whether or not other players can view their comment history. YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, Instagram and TikTok accounts can be linked to a profile page (including the Discord username).

	- ~~"Load" which allows you to, when logged into your account from either~~ the ~~main device or another, recover all content stored on your~~ account.		There is an approximate one-day delay before players can view the statistics of a newly created user account.

	~~- Lastly there is~~ the ~~"Help" option. This will allow you~~ to ~~send an e-mail~~ to ~~RobTop with a complaint about~~ the ~~back-up system, or just simply log out~~ of ~~your~~ account.		===Disabled accounts===
			In some cases, the developer may choose to disable certain accounts, which permanently disables the ability to log into the accounts on the same IP address. Instead of successfully logging into the account when entering the correct password, a message will be displayed, instructing the user to contact RobTop Support for more information. The message remains unchanged since its initial inclusion.

	~~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. Please use caution however because if you worked hard to get to where you are and press "Load" and "yes" by accident, your progress will be overridden forever. As always, have fun playing Geometry Dash.		===Account settings===
			Account settings can be accessed from the main menu. Locate the settings menu and select the "Accounts" button. A player that is logged in can then save and load data from the cloud; the "More" button allows the player to refresh their login, change their username and password (from the "Manage account" button), or unlink (log out and delete all save data) their account.

	== ~~Trivia~~ ==		====Saving data====
	*There was a ~~bug when syncing 1~~ account with ~~2 devices, you could get free 30 [[Secret Coins\|coins]] anytime you synced~~. ~~However~~, it ~~was fixed in Update 1.91~~.		Once a player is logged into their account, they can select the "Save" button in order to back up their data to the cloud (with a minimum of 10 stars required). Because save data is stored in the cloud rather than the device, it can be accessed at any time, even if the user previously unlinked their account from the device.

	*~~There is~~ a ~~bug where~~ if ~~your~~ Geometry Dash data was ~~loaded on [[Geometry Dash Lite]]~~, ~~you would get~~ the ~~things you have~~ in the ~~full version~~ in the ~~lite version~~, but the ~~[[Icon Kit\|icons]] you get from~~ the ~~full version~~ to the ~~lite version~~ are the ~~ones introduced in [[Update 1~~.~~6]] and before~~.		Save data includes collectables, created levels, and the user's unlocked icons, but does not include the specific icon set or colours chosen. Save data also does not include downloaded songs, meaning the user must redownload songs when restoring data.
	[[Category:~~Features~~]]
			====Transferring data====
			When the save data is backed up to the cloud, it can be accessed from any device. To transfer data to a different device, a player must log in to their account on the new device. From the account settings, the player can then select "Load" to restore their save data to the new device, which should load the player's unlocked icons, other collectables, and created levels.

			Saving data from a different device than the original save data will merge the two backups together in the cloud.

			==Trivia==
			*On a user's profile page, icons can only be updated if the user refreshes their profile page.
			*As of July 12, 2019, due to a PHP upgrade, profile pages are not displayed correctly if an outdated version of Geometry Dash is used (such as 2.0).
			*In Update 1.9, saving data to the cloud would overwrite the current save. This was changed in Update 2.0 so that the new and old saves are merged together.
			*In Update 2.0, there was a feature inside the icon kit that allowed a user to view their user ID, a number which was associated with a specific account that could be searched up. Searching by an account's user ID still works; however, it is harder to find the account's user ID as the message in the icon kit was removed in Update 2.1.
			*A player requires a registered account to comment on user levels as of Update 2.11. Previously, registered and unregistered players alike were able to comment on user levels. This was done to prevent spam.
			*There is a bug that happens if a player sends a friend request to another player and then restarts the game. The friend request is sent, but the button changes back to before the request was sent.
			*RobTop can change any player's username. This is usually done to inactive accounts to allow well-known players to get their desired username.
			*In the Geometry Dash 10-Year Anniversary video, it is stated that there are 17,107,125 user accounts.
			*Previously, you could use an unregistered account to do pretty much everything.
			*Prior to 2.201, diamonds were shown, but were since removed due to the fact that it was useless to view diamonds as it is not viewed as a skill point.
			**It is still possible to view diamonds by clicking the info button next to a player's username.
