The last blog post about log in updates got us thinking... it's time to unify main and side accounts under a single sign on once and for all. No more logging in and logging out to switch accounts and having to remember it all. Coming very soon, after you log in to your main account you will be able to see all of its linked sides and sign in with a single click (without a username, email, password).
This solves the problem of needing so many email addresses. Review your main and side account settings now. Main and side accounts that are not declared will not be linked and will retain their own individual log in credentials.
These changes will be coming in a week or two. Stay tuned for the formal announcement and date that this will go live. You'll have ample heads up.

this is really great im so glad ian is listening to our suggestions. im very happy about this.
isis • 16 Apr 2026, 5:28 PM
This is fantastic, thank you!! Very nice QoL change
Ian • 16 Apr 2026, 5:29 PM
So basically go ahead and make sure you know your main account email & password! That's really all you'll need to know moving forward.
And make sure that they are all linked and set up ❤️

Yayyyy
raitonchidori • 16 Apr 2026, 5:29 PM
Now that is good news!!!
tortoise • 16 Apr 2026, 5:30 PM
This is amazing!!! Thank you for listening to all of the feedback from the community and finding a solution that will work well for everyone!

Yessss so amazing to see eggcave getting some updates. Keep cooking, chef @ian!
sapphire12 • 16 Apr 2026, 5:31 PM
Love this, thanks Ian!
redflipflap • 16 Apr 2026, 5:31 PM
Does this mean our side accounts will still have their same usernames and will appear separate to other users?
jarsha • 16 Apr 2026, 5:32 PM
WOOHOO!
spookyfrog • 16 Apr 2026, 5:32 PM
Also I know several people were suggesting other options for account verification for Monthly Challenge, such as Discord or Whatsapp. Idk if they would also be fine with using main email as account verification, but this sounds like a good change to me 😊
myriadium • 16 Apr 2026, 5:32 PM
YESSSS! thank you so much for implementing this feature! along with the new logins using emails instead of usernames, this will strike a balance between more secure accounts and a simpler way of switching in between them! ian u cooked fr
myriadium • 16 Apr 2026, 5:36 PM
ALSO "your side account will be removed from events and others"; will this include other activities like cave / asteroid / quests? if so, HUGE
tortoise • 16 Apr 2026, 5:38 PM
@redflipflap Yes I’m sure, as this is a similar feature for people who use social media that have multiple accounts. You can just click and choose which account to switch to without having to log out and log in to it. Each account is separate, just an easier way to access them.
Ian • 16 Apr 2026, 5:41 PM
@myriadium yep. which will prevent "unintended" advantages and cheating, like when people honestly forget. it'll also help indicate and remind you "you're on a side right now!"
spookyfrog • 16 Apr 2026, 5:44 PM
i wonder how many of the tickets they receive are just iterations of "i accidentally did ___ from a side"
valorieviolet • 16 Apr 2026, 5:47 PM
Ian is so back!
Ian • 16 Apr 2026, 5:49 PM
@spookyfrog enough 😋 we're over it, haha!
Ian • 16 Apr 2026, 5:50 PM
@valorieviolet 🔥🔥🔥
foxbit • 16 Apr 2026, 5:50 PM
Yeeees I love this! It's more practical.
tortoise • 16 Apr 2026, 5:59 PM
@Ian the side account reminder thing will be super helpful! I’m already bad at forgetting when I’m on mine and accidentally using the cave or clicking an Easter egg out of habit.😣
jarsha • 16 Apr 2026, 6:06 PM
I had no idea we would be fine dining tonight, friends
daisycat • 16 Apr 2026, 6:06 PM
Love the streamlining! The stats under each account are a very nice touch. :-D
Ian • 16 Apr 2026, 6:08 PM
@daisycat that's to help you identify which one is which! also being able to see the number of unread notifications 😉
nut • 16 Apr 2026, 6:10 PM
OUUUUUUUU AMAZING!!!!! (and sorry for the amount of times i had to send a ticket about accidentally doing stuff from side)
sparklefox • 16 Apr 2026, 6:15 PM
Hell yeah. Looking forward to it all.
twinkle • 16 Apr 2026, 6:30 PM
This is so amazing!!! Thanks for your hardwork, Ian! Kudos to you ❤️
lunar • 16 Apr 2026, 6:33 PM
Yay! Love this idea. Is there an eggcave app sometime in the future too?
galactic_pigeon • 16 Apr 2026, 6:44 PM
Ooh, very nice! Thanks, Ian!
dragrawr • 16 Apr 2026, 6:55 PM
Oh heck YES Ian !!! This is awesome!! I'm so happy you heard us all out, this is wonderful !
snowywinter • 16 Apr 2026, 6:57 PM
Wooooooooooot! *confetti* So glad this is finally going to be an option! (Am sad that sms verification is going away though.)
Ian • 16 Apr 2026, 6:59 PM
@snowywinter haha why? 😋 was it fun checking your phone?
snowywinter • 16 Apr 2026, 7:02 PM
@Ian, funny thing is, I HATE any other site asking to send codes to a number (pref email)... but I liked getting the text from Eggcave once a month : 3
cloudslay3r • 16 Apr 2026, 7:03 PM
Amazing update! Keep on cooking, Ian 🍳🔥
chaotictreat • 16 Apr 2026, 7:10 PM
YIPPEE!!! i approve of this update. very much so. well done ian. thank you very much. no more extra emails, no more incognito tabs, no more accidentally doing things on side accounts!!
raccoon • 16 Apr 2026, 7:18 PM
Crying tears of joy. LOVE this site and it's staff so much. Yall actually LISTEN to your userbase and its so very very very appreciated!!!!! Thank you for this!!!
dragonnn • 16 Apr 2026, 7:40 PM
Sounds very convenient. Thank you!
xiiihero • 16 Apr 2026, 7:56 PM
This all is fantastic!!! I'm particularly grateful I no longer will have to worry about accidentally doing things on my side accounts! (Tho I'm going to kinda miss not receiving the phone text from Egg Cave lol 😸 )
bunnyshadow • 16 Apr 2026, 8:08 PM
OMG finally some QOL!!
vos • 16 Apr 2026, 8:36 PM
Great idea - ty for the hard work of programming! 😊
pipkitten • 16 Apr 2026, 8:37 PM
🥳🥳🥳
cami • 16 Apr 2026, 9:17 PM
Awesome ^-^ I know Lioden does the switching of main and side pretty easily. Definitely was a bit, to switch from main to one of my sides and then remembering i was still signed into a side before i did my cave visits. 😅
rabidwolfie • 16 Apr 2026, 9:37 PM
Oh this all sounds SO awesome! Especially getting rid of the SMS thing because I have never been comfortable giving out my phone number! But the easier log in sounds great too!!
Ian • 16 Apr 2026, 9:49 PM
Thanks everybody! Remember to check your email associated with your main accounts, cause that’s gonna be the way you log in soon. 😊
heatherm19 • 16 Apr 2026, 10:35 PM
Haven't finished reading the post or comments, but... ❤️ You are awesome @Ian, I hope things are going better for you. SO excited for these updates!
heatherm19 • 16 Apr 2026, 10:36 PM
OH I *love* side accounts not showing events!! That's something that's always frustrated me because I get so paranoid I'll forget what account I'm on and do the event from a side.
lacewingswift • 17 Apr 2026, 12:53 AM
Wonderful news and features! 😊 thank you!
