Why does it say my username or email is already taken?

Each PlayHouse account has its own username and email address, so two accounts can't share either.

The email is taken

There's no separate sign-up: entering an email that already has an account signs you in to it. If you see "An account with this email already exists.", enter your email again and sign in with the code we send you.

If you're asking us to change the email on your account, the new address can't already belong to another account. Use a different one.

The username is taken

Someone else has it, or it's reserved. Try a different username, for example by adding a word or a number. See How do I change my username?

Someone is using your name or photos

If an account is pretending to be you, sign in and use Report leaked content or impersonation, then choose Someone is impersonating me.
