With the new game updates, developer Innersloth has tried to make the game safer for kids. After the game got The Airship map, the developers also updated it with an account system and a code of conduct. According to the rules, you can only make one Among Us account per device. You can’t link different platform accounts. Steam account will only work on Steam and so on. Also, creating an account is a must to access the ‘free chat’ option. Only people with accounts can change their display names freely. Without an account, you’ll have to choose from randomised names. For kids under the minimum age of digital consent, “you have to get a parent/guardian’s permission to access free chat (which then allows you to create an account), or change your display name.”
Usernames are not exclusive and as such, multiple people can have the same username.
You can also report someone if you find them “acting inappropriately”. It includes “inappropriate names, inappropriate chat, cheating/hacking, and harassment/misconduct.” Stating the reason for reporting someone is a must.
Players who get a temporary ban will be blocked from accessing all online features and systems for a temporary amount of time (between 1 – 30 days) including alternate accounts. Those who get permanently banned will not be able to access any online feature and systems including alternate accounts, ever.
