Please allow age verification on AT LEAST ONE other account.

Per the updated FAQ for the announcement of Age Verification, I would like to suggest a hard limit of at least 1 or at most 2 alts who are eligible for the same age verification.
People may have alts for various reasons, some being that they may not want people who know their main VRC account name (especially if that name exists outside of VRC on other platforms) and may not want to engage with the more hardcore gated content (cough18+STUFFcough) for fear of other users maliciously looking them up and then harassing them on other platforms or even irl. I realize that may be an extreme example, but I can imagine I am not the only one who has their VRC name as their other socials and tries to keep it as professional as possible especially those that are creators.
And while you could just say...
"Well. Then just verify your alt account."
...and I could just do that, but what if in doing so I lock my main account off from my favorite worlds and or avatars should those world/avatar creators put their creations behind Age Verification gates.
I apologize in advance if this was hard to follow, I'm not the best at articulating my words, so I hope this made some sense...
I would just greatly appreciate being able to keep my main and an alt with the same amount of access and not feel like I have a baby gate in my way on one or the other despite being a fully grown adult. -_-

It will never be allowed on multiple accounts. That opens up way to many potential issues. Users are already abusing AV. We dont need more. If your a content creator, why would you have AV on your stream account? makes no sense. Keep it on your casual account your usually on.
as for the drama argument or whatever, I dont belive thats worth potential security risks. Just use moderation tools.

Still hoping we can have a system where we can verify multiple accounts with the same hash, with the hard rule that any action taken against one account would be applied to any account with the same hash. Would literally solve the issue people have with potential for abuse.

Imo, it should be limited to one account only. Not multiple. Many people will simply verify for other people. I rather have it 'safe' and less chance of running into someone who has been verified by a friend of theirs while not being above the age of 18, which we all know will definitely happen on quite a big scale if people can verify more than once.
The only solution I see for this which could be; Allow people to retract their verification status and then be able to put it on an other account.

Upvote, theres plenty of reasons for a person to have a secondary account age verified
heres some examples
Content Creator account
different groups of friends
an account for the more intimate activities (but you still want your other account to not be restricted from certain worlds or groups you enjoy)
drama following your accounts
Safe haven accounts
so many other possible reasons
I think if not allowing two accounts to be verified under the same ID, a system could be implemented to connect your Alt to your main, anonymously, that way its attached to the age verified account but still not connected visibly to other people

I think that if people are allowed to verify multiple accounts, then if ANY of those accounts with their hash get reported for an underage person using them, ALL the accounts that person has under their hash should get banned and their ID permanently locked out of verification. No second chances. PERIOD. I really don’t want to see this feature get all crapped up by idiots verifying their damn kids’ accounts.

What would be the point of the age verification if you can just give it to other accounts or people? wouldn't that just defeat the purpose of it?
-GP-
squeakop the same way they can use id of a friend to verify themselves, it doesnt defend purpose of anything, just makes it cheaper basically

UPDATE 1/28/2025
VRC has allowed VRC+ subscribers to verify their accounts. (https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/age-verification)
However I'm extremely disappointed in seeing the FAQ after feeling good with the discussions in the prior months that they were open to finding a solution for those of us with other accounts for other purposes/anonymity among larger creators.
We'll see if this goes anywhere in the future, but my hopes for it happening are not high if they're proceeding with the current rollout.
This has just left a sour taste in my mouth for now. :\
Miss Widgey
berserkbrandee From what it looks like all the FAQs on the post are literally just copy and pasted from previous posts including the follow-up questions regarding how they're considering hashes to allow multiple account verification.
I'm gonna keep sharing and posting this Canny and others should too. While I'm disappointed they haven't given more updates about this specifically I'm hoping that keeping the pressure up will show them that the community wants this.
Miss Widgey
Still hoping for this especially with the implementation of the hashing system. Being able to safely engage with communities on all of our accounts would be so nice.
PurposeUnknown
Given the updated FAQ (https://ask.vrchat.com/t/age-verification-faq/28458) mentions an updated method using hashes, and within that section-:
"Why do you need the hash?"
...
Enable multiple accounts: We can allow users to have more than one verified account using the same ID. Previously, this would have required keeping your full ID data with Persona. While this is not planned for initial launch, we are considering the feedback that you have given us.
-it seems this idea is, at least from the VRC team's point of view, technically feasible. 'm adding my 2 cents to also encourage implementation of this given other comments regarding alts, performer/personal accounts, accounts used for technical/recording purposes, and so on. It will reduce friction for various communities that host events and/or performances, for sure.

I believe this would be a great feature. Sure some kind of precaution to prevent people from trying to evade bans and other things would need to be implemented, but I feel like making people only use one account would be way too restrictive.
