# PokéBonk Guest Saves: Keep Progress & Save to Account > Keep a PokéBonk guest save when changing devices: Save to account, trainer-name login, site-data risks and missing-progress checks. Canonical HTML: https://pokebonk.co/guides/save-progress Publisher: PokéBonk Guide (https://pokebonk.co), an independent unofficial fan guide. Original game: https://pokebonk.com/. Game snapshot: v0.8.46; build mvn4tolm; checked 2026-10-25. **Source check: v0.8.46 · 2026-10-25** [Versions, sources and scope](https://pokebonk.co/sources) **A PokéBonk guest is tied to the browser/device that holds its guest session. Convert that same guest with Save to account before changing devices or deleting site data.** The checked live client stores progress on the server and keeps the session credentials in browser storage; “guest” does not mean that every part of the save exists only in a local cache. ## Will a guest lose progress on another device? A different browser or device does not automatically have the original guest session. Deleting the original site's stored data can also remove the credentials that identify that guest. That can leave you unable to access its progress, even though it is not proof that the server record was immediately erased. | Situation | What to do | | --- | --- | | Returning in the original browser | Use the existing guest entry and check your League and Stardust. | | Moving from PC to phone | Convert the original guest first, then sign in to that account on the phone. | | Clearing browsing data | Preserve access first. Clearing site data is different from only removing cached images/files. | | Private/incognito session | Do not rely on it for continued guest access after the private session closes. | | Signed-in account on a new device | Use the same trainer name and password on the original game. | The official retained news includes a policy that guests unused for **60 days** are deleted. Treat guest access as temporary rather than as your backup plan. ## Save the current guest to an account 1. Return to the main menu in the browser that still opens the guest you want to keep. 2. Select **Save to account**. 3. Enter a **Trainer name**, a **Password**, and the repeated password requested by the form. Supply an invitation code only if the live form requires one. 4. Complete **Create account** on the original game. Read its rules/privacy links as part of that process. 5. Check that your League, Stardust and Lab progress are the ones you intended to preserve before leaving the original browser. The checked Save to account flow upgrades the currently authenticated guest. The separate registration screen can show **Keep my guest progress**: leave it selected if that is the progress you want. Its description says the guest's progress, runs and records pass to the new account; starting without it begins fresh. Do this from the original guest, rather than creating an unrelated account on a second device and assuming two saves will merge. This guide does not establish a merge between existing accounts. ## Sign in on another device Open [pokebonk.com](https://pokebonk.com/), choose **Log in**, and use the same trainer name and password. After loading, check your collection and permanent upgrades before starting a new run. The current account form uses a **trainer name and password**, not an email address. Its own notice says it does not collect email for password recovery. Keep your credentials somewhere you can retrieve them; do not assume that an email reset or a Google sign-in option will be available. Server maintenance, a failed request or unfinished result upload can affect what you see immediately. Return to the menu and wait for the game's save/result messages rather than repeatedly replacing sessions or clearing storage. ## My guest or account progress looks missing - **Check the domain:** return to the original [pokebonk.com](https://pokebonk.com/). This guide at pokebonk.co does not operate its accounts or saves. - **Check the browser profile:** a different profile, private window or in-app browser may not share the original guest credentials. - **Check which account you opened:** a new guest is different from your previous guest; a new registered account is not automatically a copy of another account. - **If the original guest still opens:** use Save to account there before changing anything else. - **If a result is still sending:** read the error or pending result state and give its retry process a chance. Do not treat a delayed display as proof that an entire save is gone. - **If access is no longer available:** use the official game's support/community entry. We cannot promise recovery, access its database or transfer your progress. For loading or input trouble, use [troubleshooting](https://pokebonk.co/guides/troubleshooting) and [mobile setup](https://pokebonk.co/guides/mobile). For progression after recovery, keep the [Lab planner](https://pokebonk.co/tools/lab-planner) and [League unlock guide](https://pokebonk.co/guides/unlock-pokemon) separate from your account's actual saved state: our tools do not read or back up your game account. ## Sources and checks Checked **October 25, 2026**, against the official **v0.8.46 / mvn4tolm** [guest/account forms and client storage paths](https://pokebonk.com/assets/main-BRoWoo2--mvn4tolm.js), [English form labels](https://pokebonk.com/assets/en-DcjmdRu7-mvn4tolm.js), [retained guest policy notes](https://pokebonk.com/assets/news-C59DVoWe-mvn4tolm.js) and read-only [public status](https://api.pokebonk.com/status).
