Profile Migration Guide

Seamless profile migration between platforms

Migrating browser profiles between GoLogin and MultiLogin doesn’t have to be complicated. This guide provides step-by-step instructions, utility scripts, and best practices for seamless profile migration.

Understanding Profile Formats

GoLogin Profile Structure

{
  "name": "My Profile",
  "fingerprint": {
    "navigator": {
      "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0...",
      "platform": "Win32",
      "language": "en-US"
    },
    "screen": {
      "width": 1920,
      "height": 1080
    },
    "webgl": {
      "vendor": "Google Inc.",
      "renderer": "ANGLE (Intel..."
    },
    "canvas": {
      "mode": "noise",
      "complexity": 100
    }
  },
  "proxy": {
    "mode": "http",
    "host": "proxy.example.com",
    "port": 8080,
    "username": "user",
    "password": "pass"
  }
}

MultiLogin Profile Structure

MultiLogin uses a proprietary format with additional fields for team management and cloud synchronization. Key differences include:

Profile ID and owner fields
Template inheritance system
Team sharing permissions
Cloud metadata

Migration Scenarios

Scenario 1: GoLogin → MultiLogin

Manual Export

Export GoLogin Profile

gologin export --profile-id PROFILE_UUID --output my-profile.json

Convert to MultiLogin Format Use our migration utility to convert the exported profile.

const { ProfileConverter } = require('@gologin/migration-tools');
 
// Convert GoLogin profile to MultiLogin format
async function migrateProfile(gologinProfilePath) {
const converter = new ProfileConverter();
 
try {
  const multiloginProfile = await converter.goLoginToMultiLogin(
    gologinProfilePath
  );
 
  console.log('Profile converted successfully!');
  console.log('New Profile ID:', multiloginProfile.id);
 
  return multiloginProfile;
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Migration failed:', error.message);
  throw error;
}
}
 
// Usage
migrateProfile('./my-gologin-profile.json');

Scenario 2: MultiLogin → GoLogin

Export from MultiLogin

Download Profile Data
- Navigate to MultiLogin dashboard
- Select profiles to export
- Choose “Export as JSON” option

Import to GoLogin

gologin import --file multilogin-profile.json

import { MigrationTools } from '@gologin/migration-tools';
 
const migration = new MigrationTools();
 
// Batch migration
async function migrateProfiles(profilesPath) {
const results = await migration.batchConvert({
  inputPath: profilesPath,
  source: 'gologin',
  target: 'multilogin',
  options: {
    preserveProxy: true,
    convertFingerprints: true,
    validateProfiles: true
  }
});
 
console.log(`Migrated ${results.successful} profiles successfully`);
console.log(`${results.failed} profiles failed to migrate`);
 
return results;
}

Common Migration Challenges

1. Proxy Configuration

Challenge: Different proxy authentication formats

Solution: The migration tool automatically handles proxy format conversion:

// GoLogin format
{
  "proxy": {
    "mode": "http",
    "host": "proxy.example.com",
    "port": 8080,
    "username": "user",
    "password": "pass"
  }
}

// Automatically converts to MultiLogin format
{
  "proxy": {
    "type": "http",
    "host": "proxy.example.com:8080",
    "auth": {
      "username": "user",
      "password": "pass"
    }
  }
}

2. Fingerprint Compatibility

Challenge: Different fingerprint generation algorithms

Solution: The migration tool includes fingerprint normalization:

const fingerprintNormalizer = new FingerprintNormalizer();
 
// Normalize fingerprints for compatibility
const normalizedFingerprint = fingerprintNormalizer.normalize({
source: 'gologin',
target: 'multilogin',
fingerprint: originalFingerprint
});
 
// Preserves key characteristics:
// - Canvas fingerprint noise patterns
// - WebGL renderer information
// - Audio context fingerprints
// - Font detection results

3. Profile Limitations

Challenge: MultiLogin’s 5 profile limit on free tier

Solution: Implement profile prioritization strategy:

Priority Migration

Active Profiles - Currently in use
Critical Profiles - Essential for operations
Backup Profiles - Secondary/backup accounts
Test Profiles - Development/testing only

Alternative Strategies

Use GoLogin for overflow profiles
Archive old profiles to storage
Consider MultiLogin upgrade
Implement profile rotation

// Validate migrated profiles
async function validateMigratedProfile(profilePath) {
const validator = new ProfileValidator();
 
const result = await validator.validate(profilePath, {
  checkFingerprints: true,
  testConnectivity: true,
  verifyProxy: true,
  simulateDetection: true
});
 
if (result.isValid) {
  console.log('✅ Profile validation passed');
  console.log('📊 Fingerprint score:', result.fingerprintScore);
  console.log('🔗 Proxy status:', result.proxyStatus);
} else {
  console.log('❌ Profile validation failed');
  console.log('⚠️ Issues:', result.issues);
}
 
return result;
}

Testing Checklist

Before deploying migrated profiles:

Basic functionality test with simple automation
Fingerprint consistency verification
Proxy connectivity confirmation
Detection resistance validation
Performance baseline measurement
Cross-browser compatibility testing

Best Practices

Migration Strategy

Start Small: Migrate 2-3 profiles first
Test Thoroughly: Validate each migrated profile
Backup Everything: Keep original profile files
Document Changes: Track migration dates and modifications
Monitor Performance: Watch for detection or speed issues

// Secure migration with encryption
const secureMigration = new SecureMigration({
encryptionKey: process.env.MIGRATION_KEY,
secureTemp: true,
wipeSensitiveData: true
});
 
// Migrate with security measures
await secureMigration.migrate({
source: './profiles/',
target: 'multilogin',
options: {
  encryptTransit: true,
  scrubPassword: true,
  auditLog: './migration-audit.log'
}
});

Rollback Planning

Always have a rollback strategy:

cp -r ./gologin-profiles ./backup-profiles-$(date +%Y%m%d)

cat > rollback.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
echo "Rolling back to previous profiles..."
cp -r ./backup-profiles-*/ ./gologin-profiles
echo "Rollback completed"
EOF

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue	Cause	Solution
Proxy not working	Format incompatibility	Reconfigure proxy settings
Fingerprint detection	Inconsistent parameters	Regenerate fingerprint
Import failed	File corruption	Validate JSON format
Performance issues	Profile overload	Optimize profile settings
