If you’ve ever borrowed a friend’s phone to play a quick MLBB ranked match, or you’re getting ready to sell your old device and don’t want a random stranger accessing your collection of limited edition skins, you’ve probably looked for the option to log out of your profile, only to get stuck scrolling through menus. A lot of new and even long-time players struggle to figure out how to sign out mobile legends account, because the option isn’t placed front and center on the main game screen. It’s not your fault – Moonton hides most account management features behind the profile menu to keep the main interface clean for matches. This guide will walk you through every possible scenario for signing out, from your current device to remote logouts, plus common mistakes to avoid so you don’t lose years of progress by accident.
How to Sign Out Mobile Legends Account on Your Current Device
The process for signing out of your account on the device you’re currently using is straightforward once you know where to look, but it’s easy to miss if you’ve never navigated the account settings before. First, open the Mobile Legends app and wait for it to load fully to the main home screen, where you can see the "Start" button for matches. Don't try to access account settings while the game is still updating resources, because that can cause glitches that make the sign out option disappear entirely.
Next, tap the small circular profile icon in the top left corner of the screen – it’s the one with your in-game avatar and rank border next to it. That will pull up your full player profile, showing your match history, win rate, and hero usage stats. On the far right side of the profile screen, you’ll see a vertical menu with several icons: look for the one that looks like a small person silhouette, labeled "Account". Tap that to open the account management page.
Scroll down past the options to link your account to Google, Facebook, TikTok, or Moonton’s own platform, and you’ll see a gray "Sign Out" button near the bottom of the page. Tap that, and you’ll get a pop-up warning asking if you’re sure you want to sign out. Before you tap confirm, double check that your account is linked to at least one third-party platform. Always confirm your account is linked to a third-party platform before signing out, because if your account is only saved as a guest profile on your device, signing out will delete all your progress permanently, with no way to recover it. If you see a warning that says "Your account is not linked, do you want to link it now?" tap yes and follow the steps to link it to your preferred platform before proceeding with sign out.
What to Do If You Can’t Find the Sign Out Button in MLBB
It’s super common to log into the game looking for the sign out button, only to find it’s completely missing from the account menu. There are a few simple reasons this happens, and most of them are easy to fix without any technical skills. First, if you’re a brand new player who just downloaded the game, you won’t have access to account management features until you finish the initial tutorial and play at least three classic matches. Moonton locks these features for new players to prevent them from accidentally signing out of their guest account before they have a chance to link it.
If you’ve been playing for longer than a week and still don’t see the sign out button, the most likely cause is a minor game glitch from a recent update. The easiest fix for this is to close the game completely, make sure it’s not running in the background of your device, and restart it. Most of the time, that’s all it takes for the sign out button to reappear in the account menu. If that doesn’t work, you can clear the game’s cache (not the full data) from your device’s settings menu. Never clear your game data if you have an unlinked guest account, because that will erase all your progress just like signing out would.
For iOS players, the sign out button is sometimes moved to the "Settings" submenu under the account tab instead of being visible on the main account page, so tap the settings icon in the top right of the account page to check if it’s there. If you still can’t find it after trying all these fixes, you can submit a ticket to Moonton support through the in-game help center, and they’ll walk you through account-specific steps to sign out.
How to Sign Out Your MLBB Account Remotely From Another Device
Sometimes you don’t have access to the device your account is logged into, and you need to sign out urgently. Maybe you logged into your account on a cousin’s phone during a family gathering and forgot to sign out, or you lost your phone and don’t want whoever finds it to access your account. Luckily, Moonton added a remote sign out feature a few years back that lets you kick your account off any other device without having physical access to it.
To use this feature, first log into your MLBB account on a device you own, then navigate to the account management page the same way you would to sign out locally. Look for the option labeled "Device Management" near the top of the account menu – this will show you a list of every device that is currently logged into your account, along with the location and last login time for each device. Find the device you want to sign out of, tap the three dots next to it, and select "Remove Device". Remote sign out takes effect immediately, and will require the other user to re-enter your login credentials to access the account.
If you suspect your account has been hacked or accessed by someone you don’t trust, you should change the password for your linked third-party account (Google, Facebook, etc.) before you do the remote sign out. That way, the person who has your old login details won’t be able to log back into your account after you kick them out. You can also turn on two-factor authentication for your linked account for an extra layer of security, so even if someone gets your password, they can’t log in without the code sent to your phone.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Signing Out of Your MLBB Account
Even if you know how to find the sign out button, it’s easy to make small mistakes that can cost you hundreds of dollars worth of skins or years of rank progress. I’ve seen dozens of players in my local MLBB community make these mistakes, so I’ve rounded up the most common ones to watch out for:
- Signing out without linking your account first: This is the most common error that leads to permanent loss of skins, ranks, and in-game currency you’ve spent months earning. Moonton support can almost never recover unlinked guest accounts, so take 30 seconds to link your account before you hit sign out.
- Sharing login credentials before signing out: If you let someone else use your device after logging into your MLBB account, they can make unauthorized purchases using your saved payment methods, intentionally drop your rank to a lower tier, or even delete your favorite heroes from your custom lane setup.
- Ignoring pop-up warnings before signing out: The game will usually warn you if your account is not linked, or if you have pending in-game purchases that haven’t been processed yet, so don’t tap "confirm" too fast without reading the alert first.
Another common mistake people make is signing out every time they want to switch between their main account and smurf account. You don’t need to do that – there’s a "Switch Account" button right above the sign out button that lets you log into another linked account without fully signing out of your current one, which saves a lot of time. Using the built-in switch account feature reduces the risk of login errors that can lock you out of your profiles temporarily.
It’s also important to remember that signing out of your account doesn’t make it safe to sell or trade, because Moonton tracks the original email or phone number linked to the account. Trading or selling MLBB accounts violates Moonton's terms of service, and can lead to permanent account bans regardless of whether you sign out properly. If you want to give an account to a friend or family member, you’re better off transferring the linked email address to them first, but even that comes with a risk of a ban, so do it at your own discretion.
At the end of the day, knowing how to sign out mobile legends account is a small but important skill that every MLBB player should have in their back pocket. It keeps your account safe when you’re using other people’s devices, makes switching between multiple profiles a breeze, and helps you avoid the heartbreak of losing all your progress to a silly mistake. I’ve had a friend who lost his account with 200+ skins because he signed out after his phone glitched and unlinked his Facebook profile without him noticing, so I can’t stress enough how important it is to double check your linked status every single time before you tap that sign out button. If you run into any issues that aren’t covered in this guide, the in-game help center has step-by-step troubleshooting guides for almost every account-related problem you can think of.
