⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ Discovery Launchpad v1.3 does the same as FL account manager + FL account generator. Some players prefer the first option in order to have all in one program, other ones prefer to have the two other programs cause they feel are better. Chose one of the 2 options, if it not fits your needs, try the other one.
