"Your account security is our top priority!" the Fortnite team wrote in a Thursday blog post announcing the deal. "Two-factor authentication (2FA) can be used to help protect your account from unauthorized access by requiring you to enter an additional code when you sign in. Keep your account safe and remember, Epic employees will never ask for your password!"
The feature supports authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator, LastPass Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Authy or you can use an email address.
To enable it, go to your account settings, click on the "password & security" tab, then scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see the "two-factor authentication" heading. From there, click "enable authenticator app" or "enable email authentication."
Once you have it set up, you'll be asked to enter the code you receive via your preferred two-factor authentication method when you sign into your account. You'll need to enter a two-factor passcode the first time you sign in after setting up the feature, if you sign in on a different device, if it's been more than 30 days since you last signed in, or if you clear your browser cookies.
