Are you looking for a way to activate Two-Factor Authentication for Fortnite? This guide will help you set up your account security.
Two-Factor Authentication, also known as 2FA, is a security measure to protect your account. In Fortnite, this allows you to keep all your unlocks, skins, and progression safe. Moreover, this method of security lets you get goodies on Epic Launcher beyond Fortnite itself and lets you send and receive gifts. Also, if your Fortnite career takes off to become a pro, you will need to have 2FA set up to sign-in and participate.
As an extra incentive, you even get to unlock a few rewards for your account by setting up authentication. For Fortnite battle royale, you will get a Boogie Down emote. While if you own Save the World, you will also receive 50 Armory Slots, 10 Backpack Slots, and the Legendary Troll Stash Llama.
How to set up 2FA in Fortnite?
There are several easy steps to follow in order to set up Two-Factor Authentication for your Epic Games account:
- Got your Fortnite Account page.
- Find and click the Password and Security tab.
- Scroll down and locate the Two-Factor Authentication section.
