The update for google play is here just minutes ago

This isn't rocket science.
There has been 2 login servers, one for iOS, one for Android. Each server has user account details, with each account uniquely identified by username.
Now there will be one login server and the account details will be merged. In most cases where a username exists on both servers, they will relate to the same person, with a good chance of having the same password. However there may be a small number of instances where 2 people have the same username. In these cases it would be unfair to ask one or both users to change their username. People are far more attached to a username than a password. So OTM have chosen the solution of using the combination of both the username and password to uniquely identify an account.
The chances of 2 people having the same username and password are so tiny that OTM know it hasn't happened on their servers, so any accounts with matching username and password belong to one person on both platforms. In these cases OTM are telling users to change the password on one account in the next week, so after the merge they can access either iOS or Android legacy accounts with the same username but different passwords.
After the merge it won't be possible to have 2 accounts with identical login details as it will no longer be possible to identify which account you want to login to, so it will be necessary to make these temporarily inactive until the details of one of the accounts has been changed.
The only thing I'm struggling to work out is why, after accounts have been soft-banned, they don't make you change a password to unlock it, same as they are doing now, for consistency.

When we get Daily login rewards i heard that was added also on this update

Next update.

Will there be any way to play let's say your toon on an android world or your toon on an iOS world on the same world server without having to restart? Just wondering because I am a former iOS player with a bunch of good gear but I've been playing on android now a days just wondering if there would be a way to put the two toons on the same world

Okay. I just don't get it why the passwords were in conflict in the first place. I thought it was the username that needs changing.
Why can't we change the username now rather than wait for Monday?

Changing passwords is a far easier and secure solution that prevents conflicts with the minimum amount of account details required to be changed.

This also encourages players to have unique and secure passwords for their accounts.

That's not secure at all tbh. With cross platform now someone could have the same username as me and that's just scary knowing someone could login to my account despite my uber op password

I'm sorry could you explain that a bit further please.

If we could change our username then it'll be unknown like our password. Now I know someone else out there has the same username as mine I can just brute force guess the password., and they can do the same.

You will be only notified under certain conditions.

It doesn't matter. The fact that someone else knows my account name is a risk already. Right now most users have both username and password that are unknown to others. That's 2 things that need to be "hacked". Now someone else is 50% done.

We run detection for brute forcing, this will quickly result in a device ban if attempted.
