It’s no secret—multi-accounting is a go-to strategy in many industries. Whether you’re an e-commerce seller, social media marketer, or affiliate, running multiple accounts boosts visibility and revenue. But here's the thing: it also opens you up to a hidden risk. Browser fingerprint leakage. And this risk could lead to account bans, lost sales, or worse.
Browser fingerprints are unique data points, formed by your device and browser settings. When you use the same device and browser for multiple accounts, those fingerprints become identical. And platforms notice. What may seem like legitimate account activity could be flagged as fraudulent behavior, resulting in restrictions, suspensions, or even permanent bans.
Think about it: a seller creating multiple accounts on an e-commerce platform to increase sales. Or a marketer launching several profiles on a social media platform. If these accounts share identical fingerprints, the platform might assume you’re engaging in fraud or spamming. The result? Disastrous for your business.
Anti-Detect Browsers Are Not Infallible
Many users turn to anti-detect browsers like AdsPower, MultiLogin, and GoLogin to hide their fingerprints. These tools help mask your real device details, making it harder for platforms to track you. But here's the catch—they’re not foolproof.
In reality, different anti-detect browsers use varying technologies. Misconfiguration or weak points can still expose personal information or create fake fingerprints. And if a platform spots inconsistencies, it could still flag your accounts as linked, suspicious, or worse.
You can’t afford to rely on these browsers alone. You need a tool to validate your browser fingerprint, ensure your IP isn’t leaking, and check for discrepancies across multiple accounts. And that’s where BrowserScan comes in.
Detecting Browser Fingerprints with BrowserScan
BrowserScan is a powerful, straightforward tool that helps you analyze and secure your browser fingerprint before you get flagged. It’s like a fingerprint “health check” for your browser. Here’s how to use it:
1. Get to Know Your Browser Fingerprint
Head to BrowserScan. Once there, you’ll get a quick breakdown of your current browser fingerprint, including:
IP Address: See where you're coming from.
Geolocation: Country, city, and even latitude/longitude.
Time Zone: Is it accurate?
Operating System & Browser Version: Is everything updated?
Proxy Info: Are you using a proxy or VPN?
If your fingerprint authenticity score is below 90%, take a deeper look. You might need to make adjustments to secure your setup.
2. Identify Potential IP Leaks
BrowserScan uses WebRTC to detect if your real IP address is leaking. This is a crucial step, especially when using anti-detect browsers. For example, you might be browsing from the U.S., but WebRTC could reveal an IP address from Singapore. Platforms could flag this inconsistency as suspicious behavior.
Actionable Tip: Always check if WebRTC is leaking your true IP address. If it is, use tools to mask or change it before continuing your multi-account operations.
3. Assess Geolocation Information
BrowserScan will provide detailed geolocation information—country, city, postal code, and even latitude/longitude. The goal? Make sure your IP’s location matches the expected data. If your IP is listed in one country but your time zone is set to another, platforms will start to wonder if your account is legitimate.
Actionable Tip: Double-check that your geolocation matches your expected location. Mismatched data could trigger flags.
4. Inspect Your Browser and Hardware Fingerprints
Your browser’s user agent and other technical data (like screen resolution, GPU, and memory size) contribute to your fingerprint. If you're using an anti-detect browser but it doesn’t accurately simulate your device’s hardware, it could create a mismatch, raising suspicion.
Actionable Tip: Ensure that your browser’s hardware data matches the fingerprint you're trying to generate. A discrepancy can trigger a flag.
5. Check for Robot-like Behavior
Using automated scripts to control your browser can get you marked as a bot. BrowserScan has a feature that checks for automated behaviors, such as unusual time zone settings or unhuman-like interactions. If you're using scripts, make sure your browser doesn't give off robot vibes.
Actionable Tip: Run the automatic detection in BrowserScan to check if your browser is acting like a bot. Platforms won’t tolerate robotic behavior, and neither should you.
6. Use the Port Scanning Tool
Open ports can expose you to hackers, leaking personal data or allowing malicious access. BrowserScan includes a port scanning tool to check for vulnerabilities in your system.
Actionable Tip: Run a port scan regularly to make sure you’re not leaving any open doors for hackers.
Additional Tools to Fortify Your Setup
BrowserScan offers more than just fingerprint detection. Two powerful tools you can use are IP Address Lookup and Cookie Converter. With IP Address Lookup, you can check your IP’s ownership across seven major databases. If the same IP shows different ownership across databases, it might signal that your proxy isn’t behaving as expected. This can cause issues if you’re operating multiple accounts. The Cookie Converter allows you to convert and analyze cookies to ensure no data is missing. A cookie with missing fields could compromise your account’s integrity.
Conclusion
BrowserScan is more than just a tool; it’s your fingerprint detective. Whether you're using anti-detect browsers like AdsPower or MultiLogin or managing several accounts for e-commerce or marketing, you need to make sure your fingerprint is secure and not raising red flags.
BrowserScan gives you the actionable insights to do just that. Run a thorough check, fix any issues, and protect your accounts from unwanted scrutiny. Don’t wait until your accounts are flagged—take control today.
