Niantic fusing Ingress and PokemonGo accounts under same email
I keep my Ingress and Pokemon Go game accounts on different emails for security purposes. Today i could not log in on Ingress with my email, the message "Email does not exist" appeared and i thought my account had been banned forever and i have not received any email from Niantic.
But then i could log in with the email asociated to my PoGo account, my Ingress account still exists, but i got scared because APPARENTLY Niantic decided, without noticing me, that both accounts should be under the same email.
Is this a THING now? it is illegal to have game accounts on different emails even if you have one of each game? all of them will be under the same email?
Both accounts have the same username BTW, so i´m not sure if they got confused and i should change the name of one of them

Huh, that would be concerning for different people across games who share usernames.
Did you add an additional log-in method like Apple log-in or Facebook log-in to either account? (Assuming the separate emails are gmails)
No, i dont use Facebook or other methods to log-in. I´m an Android user. And yes, both emails are gmail
May be i should change the username of one of my accounts :(
Hi there,
I checked on this issue and it looks like this is actually an Ingress issue that they are actively working on resolving. The Ingress support team will be reaching out to affected users with instructions on next steps to rectify.
Thanks Casey, i hope they solve this issue soon :)
I would actually enjoy being able to merge my pogo and ingress onto one google login, I was never able to due to my pogo account being a TPC one when it was created alongside my ingress one which is google.
Also my pogo friends absolutely hate the level 1 pogo account that my wizards unite/ingress login adds to their friends list via niantic social
Keep opening their gifts - you will level up enough to submit Waypointsd via PoGo in no time at all.......😉
Same - my ingress account isn't as old as my PoGo but I'd love to have them both under the same log-in!
I do think it's a bit of an issue, and open for abuse, not being able to have Ingress and Pokemon Go under the same log-in because they were made at different times.
Are you encouraging multi accounting?
Since when is having different accounts for different games considered multi accounting?
The lvl 1 pogo acct is separate than the TPC, which appears to be their main. The dummy lvl 1 is linked to their HPWU and Ingress. So playing the lvl 1 to increase its level IS multi accounting.
Ingress make several games, so having a single Ingress account, a single Pokemon account and a single HPWU account is not "multi-accounting". If you look through these forums, a regular comment for PoGo players is "make an Ingress account so you can use Ingress Intel to see Ingress Portals before you submit a Waypoint".
Multi-accounting means someone turns up to a PoGo raid with 5 different devices to operate simultaneously, each with a different account. Multi-accounting means players have a "main" PoGo account, plus a "baby" account to help with the lucky trades, and a 3rd account of a "different colour" just so they can knock accounts of the same colour as their main account out of a gym to squeeze their own Pokemon in.
they said they have a PoGo acct through PTC... they then said their Ingress and HPWU gmail accts are linked to a LEVEL 1 PoGo acct. 2 PoGo accts, so yes its multi accounting to play with the LEVEL 1 ACCT. They want to link the PTC to the gmail, and presumably delete the lvl 1 acct.

Hello,
it has been 3 months and i have not received any solution to this issue. I understand that you merged accounts without user´s consent but can you at least fuse/merge the Wayfarer scores too?
My Ingress account had this score by April 18 2020. The proof is on my Twitter account https://twitter.com/fioriparty/status/1251665463886721033/photo/1
And when you merged all my game accounts (Pokemon Go, Ingress and WU) under the same email, it only kept the Wayfarer score from the PoGo account which is currently at this number
Can you please, PLEASE, add the score i previously had to my current Wayfarer account? Is not fair that all my hard work and dedication to the Wayfarer community just get deleted like that.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Fiori Party
