I don't have a second account yet (guessing it's probably not allowed here unless allowed by staff), however, my current account is being stalked by someone who dislikes me for reporting them on something unrelated to e621. I'm always afraid to comment or show my favorites due to this person having gone to a lot of my non-furry friends and tried to take them away because I like certain kinky stuff. And also because I'm staff on a lot of discord servers that look into stuff a little too seriously and I don't want to become an outcast in those servers because of what I like here.

So basically just wondering if its possible to transfer all my favorites on this account to a new account. If not I can just save all my favs here to my pc and then delete the account and create a new one.

Multiple accounts are fine, as long as it's not being used to do things like evade a ban or vote on something multiple times.

You'd either have to make a program using the API or ask an admin to transfer them for you, but I don't they typically perform requests like that.

I'm not sure if there's any pre-existing tools that have this function but the Tools and Applications forum would be a good place to start looking. Somebody might even be willing to add the feature to their existing tool.

I don't know if this will work on your account, whether any permissions I have affect things, but try this:

fav:[userrname1] -fav[username2]

Replace the first with the name of the username you're transferring favorites FROM. The second username, your username that you're transferring favorites TO.

Then select "mode:favorite" from the dropdown menu near the search.

This will show you all images that you do not have favorited but which the account you are transferring from has favorited, and allow you to favorite them with one click. It is manual, not automatic, and after favoriting each page you will need to refresh, but this should still allow for the process to go much, much quicker than any other method, I think.

I was considering suggesting this method but OP's favourites are private (so the 2nd account wouldn't be able to see them) and there's 14,522 of them which is going to take a long time

If it's their own account they should be able to change that for the duration of the transfer.
