5-Step Account Re-binding Sequence
1
Login via Primary Authorized Method
Login to PUBG Mobile on your personal mobile device using the credentials provided during escrow handover.

Navigate to Security Center & Link New Primary Email

Bind Your Personal Mobile Phone Number (SMS OTP)
In the same menu, tap "Link Mobile Phone". Select your country code, enter your active mobile phone number, receive the SMS verification code, and confirm binding.

Initiate 7-Day Unlink for Previous Owner Social Accounts
Tap on the linked third-party account icon (Twitter/X, Facebook, Google Play, Apple ID) and select "Unlink". Krafton will begin the 7-day cancellation countdown. Do not log in using that social account during this period.

Revoke All Previous Device Sessions & Set Secondary Password
Navigate to Settings > Security Center > Authorized Devices. Tap "Revoke Authorization / Log Out All Devices" except your own. Then, set a 6-digit Secondary PIN to protect Gun Lab dismantling and gifting.
Frequently Asked Questions — Security Center & Email Unlink
Why does PUBG Mobile require a 7-day waiting period to unlink social accounts?
Krafton enforces a mandatory 7-day security countdown to prevent malicious hackers from instantly stealing accounts and unlinking legitimate owner credentials. During this period, the account must remain logged in only from the trusted new device.
What should I do if I get "Frequent requests, please try again later" when changing email?
This error occurs when the account was logged into on a new device or IP address within the last 24 to 48 hours. Play 3 to 5 classic matches on your device over 24 hours to establish device trust before requesting the email change OTP.
Does 217G Escrow protect buyers during the 7-day unlinking countdown?
Yes! 217G provides 100% Escrow security coverage throughout the entire unlinking process, ensuring that funds are securely held and all seller credentials are fully quarantined.
