How to Keep Accounts Alive When Creating in Bulk: More Than Just Proxy and Fingerprint?

When it comes to scaling operations online, bulk account creation is a critical tactic used in many business models: from social media marketing to e-commerce and automation. But with increased scrutiny from platforms like Facebook, Google, and Instagram, the real challenge lies not just in creating accounts, but in keeping them alive.

While many users assume that using good proxies and a clean fingerprint setup is enough, experience says otherwise. These are just the starting points. In this post, we’ll explore deeper insights on how to reduce bans and increase the longevity of your accounts.


1. The Basics: Proxy + Fingerprint

A strong technical foundation is mandatory:

  • Residential or 4G Mobile Proxies: These rotate IPs naturally and offer lower detection risk compared to data center proxies.
  • Unique Device Fingerprint Per Profile: Using tools like Hidemium, you can simulate a fresh environment for each account (OS, timezone, browser version, WebGL, etc).

Still, many accounts die within hours despite these precautions. So what’s next?


2. Behavior Simulation: Human-like Activity

Platform AI has become smarter and now analyzes behavior post-registration. Here’s what you should do:

  • Warm-up Period: Don’t rush. After creating the account, wait a few hours before doing anything major.
  • Simulate Browsing: Scroll through the feed, click around, hover over links. Add human-like randomness.
  • No Repetitive Patterns: Avoid doing the exact same action sequence across accounts.
  • Delay Logins: Don’t log into all your accounts at the same time – spread it over hours/days.

3. Content & Identity Building

Accounts with no content or identity are flagged faster. Try these:

  • Upload a Profile Picture – a real-looking face, not a blank avatar.
  • Add Bio/Interests – even 1-2 sentences help.
  • Make a Post or Two – platform AI responds positively to content creation.

If possible, link to an external email (Gmail/Yahoo) and verify phone numbers with real SIMs.


4. IP Hygiene & Proxy Rotation Strategy

One common mistake is re-using proxies or rotating IPs too fast:

  • For mobile proxies, allow 5-10 min rest between switches.
  • Don’t bind more than 1 account per IP within a 24-hour window.
  • Avoid shared proxy pools unless they’re highly trusted.

Use Hidemium’s profile sync features to maintain consistent IP-profile binding.


5. Automation With Caution

Auto-form filling, cookie injection, and JS automation must be randomized and throttled:

  • Add random wait times (2-5 sec) between steps.
  • Use different user-agent strings or referer headers.
  • Auto-type text with delays instead of copy-pasting.

Bots that act too fast or too consistently are instantly flagged.


6. Bonus: Avoid Triggering Suspicious Actions

  • Don’t Add Friends Immediately (for social platforms)
  • Avoid Repetitive Keywords or URLs in bios/posts
  • Don’t Join Groups or Like Pages Too Quickly
  • Wait Before Linking Payment Info (on e-commerce platforms)

Conclusion

Keeping bulk accounts alive is more art than science. You need the right tools (like Hidemium), strong proxies, and a human-like behavior strategy. Platform algorithms are designed to detect patterns – your job is to break them.

If you’re still getting banned quickly, review your warm-up phase, recheck your IP hygiene, and pay attention to account actions within the first 24 hours.

Let’s share knowledge: what’s been your best tactic to increase account lifespan?

So many people focus only on proxies and forget about behavior patterns. Thanks for bringing this up!

Does it not also depend of the mac adress when the sam eone used for multiple accounts? if so will mac randomisation work, or will it rather looks suspicious and ban the account?

MAC address can matter, especially on mobile apps or when using emulators. But for most browser-based automation, websites don’t have direct access to your device’s MAC address unless you’re running native apps or improperly configured environments.

MAC randomization works well as long as it’s consistent per profile. If your MAC keeps changing every session, that’s a red flag. But if you’re using something like Hidemium or similar tools that bind a stable device fingerprint (including a randomized but fixed MAC), you’re in a much safer spot.

Bottom line: randomize once per identity, then keep it stable. That’s what makes it believable.
