How To Log In With Facebook in Clash of Clans

So, Facebook login got the boot, huh? Yeah, that was kind of abrupt, but it seems Supercell’s pushing everyone toward their new Supercell ID system. Honestly, the transition feels a bit clunky at first, especially if you’re used to just clicking “Login with Facebook” and jumping in. But if you follow these steps, it’s pretty straightforward—once you get the hang of it. On some setups, the email verification can be a bit finicky, or you might not get the email right away. Not sure why it works sometimes and not others, but on one device it just kept failing until I reset the app and cleared app cache. Anyway, here’s what to do:

Step 1: What changed and why it helps

Basically, Facebook login isn’t an option anymore. This helps with account security and reduces reliance on third-party logins, which can be a headache sometimes. When you only used Facebook, you kind of depended on that method to recover your account if something went wrong. Now, Supercell ID acts as your new identity tether, making account management more consistent and secure. If you’re hitting a wall after the update and can’t log in, it’s likely because of this shift. It applies if you notice you can’t connect or your login fails even with the same Facebook info. Expect to need a valid email and to verify it. The result? You’ll be able to access your village again, but through email instead of Facebook. Note: On some devices, the setup process took an extra reboot or cache clear to actually work. Probably because of how tightly the apps cache data—just don’t get discouraged if it’s weird at first.

Step 2: Setting up your Supercell ID

First off, open Clash of Clans. You’ll want to head into the Settings menu (that gear icon). From there, tap Supercell ID. It might be under a menu labeled “Account Connect” or similar if things look different—Google Play, Game Center, or Facebook are usually listed there if connected before. Pick the option to Log in with email. If you see “Create new ID,” do that first—just use an email you check regularly. For existing accounts, pick “Log in,” and enter the email you plan to verify. A quick tip: do not use a throwaway email here; you’ll need to verify later. The goal is to link your game to an account that’s not Facebook anymore.

Step 3: Verify your email (sometimes the tricky part)

Supercell will send a verification email. Here’s the catch: check your spam folder because it often lands there, especially if you’re on Gmail or Outlook. Clicking the link in that email completes the setup. If the email fails to arrive, try resending it from the app or re-adding your email in the Supercell ID setup. Be mindful that some email providers flag these emails as spam or delay delivery—patience helps. On one setup it worked immediately; on another, I had to wait 10 minutes and resend. Once verified, your account is linked. Now you can log in from any device by entering that email and confirming your identity.

Step 4: Re-logging in to your village

If you’ve already set up Supercell ID, just go back into Settings, tap Supercell ID again, and hit Log in. Enter your email, and you should get a prompt or verification code. Once logged in, your village shows up like magic, and all your progress is right where you left it. No more Facebook dependency, which is kinda nice once you get used to it. Sometimes the app takes a second or two to sync, especially on older phones, but it usually works fine after the first few attempts.

Extra Tips & Common Issues

Yeah, some people run into hiccups. Here’s what’s helped me sometimes:

Make sure to use an email that you actually check often—recovery emails are a lifesaver.
If verification email isn’t showing up, try resending it from Settings or just restart the app completely, sometimes cache clears are necessary.
On Android, you can go to Settings > Apps > Clash of Clans > Storage > Clear Cache. For iOS, closing and reopening the app usually does it.
Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your email account or Supercell ID adds a layer of security. Look for this in your email provider or Supercell’s account options. It’s probably worth it.

Conclusion

The whole process is kind of simple once you’re past the initial confusion. Moving from Facebook to Supercell ID isn’t the worst thing, but it can throw you off if you weren’t prepared for the email verification step. Just stick with it, patience pays off, and your stuff should come back. If nothing else, at least you’re now a bit more independent with your account management, which isn’t so bad. Fingers crossed this helps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still recover my account if I used Facebook login previously?

Not directly, unfortunately. If all you used was Facebook, you’ll need to set up a Supercell ID and verify your email—hoping you still have access to that email address. Otherwise, support might be able to help if you can prove ownership.

What do I do if I can’t log in even with my Supercell ID?

Double-check for typos in your email, ensure you verified it, and try again. Sometimes, clearing app cache or restarting the device helps. If it’s still broken, ping Supercell support with your account info—sometimes they can dig into their logs for help.

Is my game progress safe now?

Yep. Your progress gets tied to your Supercell ID, so just remember to keep that email safe and verify it regularly. Should be a lot more reliable than relying on Facebook.
