Mass Account Creation#

"Mass Account Creation" Icon - an element in the action panel above the accounts table that opens a modal window for batch account creation. It allows setting the number of accounts, common environment parameters, time zone, language, and proxy - or importing accounts from an Excel file in one step.

Location: access the icon through the "Accounts" section in the top action panel above the table, next to the add account button.

Available Actions:

  • open the mass account creation window
  • set the number and prefix for new accounts
  • select the operating system and User-Agent for the batch
  • assign tags and account groups to the entire package
  • configure time zone, language, and proxy
  • import accounts from a .xlsx file following the template

"Basic" Tab#

The "Basic" tab of the mass creation window allows generating a package of new accounts or importing them from an Excel file, automatically configuring common browser fingerprint parameters for them. The mode of operation is determined by the switch at the top.

How to fill in the parameters:

  1. Select the operation scenario:
    • Mode "Create Now" - Enter the number of accounts to generate in the Quantity field. Specify a common root name in the Prefix field (a sequential number will be automatically added).
    • Mode "Import .xlsx" - Click Download File Template, fill it with your data, and save. Then click the "Upload Accounts File" button and select the filled document.
  2. Choose the desired value from the Operating System list (applies to the entire account package).
  3. Open the User-Agent list and select one or more values - the system will distribute them among all profiles automatically.
  4. In the Additional Settings section, select substitution parameters in the Canvas, WebGL, Audio, and Rects lists.
  5. In the Blocked Ports field, specify a list of ports that the browser is prohibited from connecting to. By default, vulnerable service ports (RDP, VNC, proxy) are already closed, and the CDP port of the profile is added automatically at startup.
  6. Fill in the Tags and Account Groups fields for mass categorization (they will be applied to the entire package upon creation, or added to the values already specified inside the file during import).

It is recommended to choose the OS of your actual device. Otherwise, anti-fraud systems may detect substitution due to mismatched system fonts and page rendering specifics.

Important Rules:

  • The maximum number of accounts per creation operation is 1000.
  • When importing, do not change the structure of the Excel template - only add rows and fill in cells. Supported proxy types: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5. Specify tags and groups inside the file separated by commas.

"Time Zone" Tab#

The "Time Zone" tab is designed to configure the time zone that browsers will use when working with accounts. The parameter can be set automatically for each profile individually or set a single value manually for the entire package.

How to set the time zone:

  1. Go to the "Time Zone" tab.
  2. If automatic mode is needed, leave the "Time Zone from IP" checkbox enabled.
  3. To set the value manually, uncheck the "Time Zone from IP" box and open the "Time Zone" list.
  4. Choose the desired value from the list.

If the "Time Zone from IP" checkbox is enabled, Afina automatically assigns a unique time zone to each account in the package based on its individual IP or proxy. Manual selection allows setting a single time zone for the entire package regardless of assigned proxies.

It is recommended to keep the "Time Zone from IP" function enabled. This ensures full compliance of the browser's system time with the geolocation of your proxy.

"Language" Tab#

The "Language" tab configures the language settings for the entire account package at once. Here, the browser interface language and a priority list of languages for determining content on sites are defined.

How to configure language parameters:

  1. Go to the "Language" tab.
  2. In the "Interface Language" field, choose the mode for determining browser interface languages.
  3. If manual control of site languages is needed for the entire package, uncheck the "Languages from IP" box.
  4. Select the necessary languages in the "Languages Helping Sites Determine Interface" list (they will be added to the block below).
  5. Arrange the priority of languages by dragging in the list below - the site will first try to serve content in the primary language, then in the next according to the list.

If the "Languages from IP" checkbox is enabled, Afina automatically generates a list of languages for each account in the package based on its individual IP or proxy.

It is recommended to keep the "Languages from IP" function enabled. This ensures that browser language headers logically correspond to the geolocation of your proxy.

"Proxy" Tab#

The "Proxy" tab manages the distribution of proxies among all accounts in the package during mass creation. There are three modes available: selection from saved, random distribution, or creation without a proxy (manually entering new proxy parameters in this window is not available).

How to set proxies for the package:

  1. Go to the "Proxy" tab.
  2. To choose specific proxies, select the "Saved Proxies" mode. Open the list and mark one or more proxies - they will be distributed among accounts.
  3. For automatic assignment, choose the "Random" mode. The system will automatically assign proxies from your available pool.
  4. In both of these modes, if necessary, check the "Only Unassigned Proxies" box to limit the selection to only free proxies not yet assigned to other accounts.
  5. If accounts need to work from your real IP, select the "No Proxy" mode.

After saving, each account in the package will receive a proxy according to the selected distribution mode.

In the "Saved Proxies" mode, several selected proxies are evenly distributed among accounts. If there are fewer selected proxies than accounts being created, some accounts may receive the same proxy.

If you install and enable a VPN extension inside the browser profile, it will override Afina's settings. Sites will see the VPN extension IP, not your proxy.

Workflow Scenario#

1

Step 1: Open the creation window

Go to the “Accounts” section and click the “Mass Account Creation” icon in the top action panel above the table. A window with the “Basic” tab will open.

2

Step 2: Set package parameters

Ensure the “Create Now” scenario is selected. Enter values in the “Quantity” field and specify a “Prefix” for account names. Choose the “Operating System” and “User-Agent” from the lists. Add tags and account groups as needed.

3

Step 3: Configure time zone

Switch to the “Time Zone” tab. If automatic mode is needed, leave the “Time Zone from IP” checkbox enabled. For manual selection, uncheck the box and choose the desired time zone from the list.

4

Step 4: Set language

Navigate to the “Language” tab. Adjust the “Interface Language” and “Languages from IP” checkboxes as needed. If languages are manually selected, arrange them by priority in the list.

5

Step 5: Assign proxies

Go to the “Proxy” tab. Choose “Saved Proxies”, “Random”, or “No Proxy” mode. In saved proxies mode, mark the necessary entries from the list and, if needed, enable “Only Unassigned Proxies”.

6

Step 6: Save the package

Click “Save”. Upon successful completion, a notification “Accounts successfully created” will appear. New accounts will be displayed in the table - find them using the search field with the specified prefix.
