Epic Games Store Cracking Down on Fraud with 2FA

2FA Now Required for Free Game Claims and Gift Sending in Fortnite

Increased Account Security Measures to Protect Users

Epic Games is implementing strict new security measures to combat fraud and protect its users. Effective immediately, two-factor authentication (2FA) will be required to claim free games on the Epic Games Store and send gifts in Fortnite.

2FA is a crucial security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your account. It requires you to provide a code from a device you own, such as your phone or email, before you can log in. This makes it significantly harder for unauthorized individuals to gain access to your account, even if they have your password.
