Problem description

1. What is a virtual account
   
2. How to create a virtual account
   
3. The difference between using a virtual account and using a default account
   

Solution

The virtual account is an account mode introduced by WeChat and QQ platforms to protect players' personal information. Players can create nicknames and avatars that are inconsistent with those of their WeChat or QQ accounts. Only nicknames and avatars can be created by them, but other data cannot be set. For example, gender cannot be set.

How to create a virtual account

The virtual account creation entrance is on the authorization page of the platform. QQ: click "Create personal information"; WeChat: click "Create avatar and nickname": as shown below:

The difference between using a virtual account and using a default account

1. If the configuration of nickname and avatar is inconsistent with that of official QQ or WeChat account, then the returned nickname and avatar are both created by the player himself; so when other friends get the player's virtual account information, they will think that the difference between a friend's nickname and avatar on the client side and the server side is a normal phenomenon
   
2. A virtual account can be generated as long as the nickname is filled in. If the avatar is not uploaded, the avatar will be defaulted as the blank avatar
