How to Secure a Fortnite Account You Just Bought
Do this in the first 10 minutes after you get your login. It stops the previous owner from getting the account back, which is the number one reason bought accounts are lost.
5 steps, in this order
- Log in at epicgames.com with the email and password from your order page (use the Copy buttons to avoid typos).
- Change the password to a new one you don't use anywhere else.
- Change the account email to your own email address, in the account settings. Confirm it from your inbox.
- Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) in the Password & Security settings, using an authenticator app or your email. This blocks anyone else from logging in, even with the password.
- Sign out of all other sessions and check the Connections page for linked consoles or accounts you don't recognise.
If something goes wrong
If the login doesn't work, or the email or password was changed before you could secure it, message us on Telegram within 24 hours of delivery with your order number and we'll replace it (replacement policy).
Questions
Why should I change the email straight away?
Whoever controls the email can reset the password. Moving the account to your own email is what makes it yours.
Does the account come with 2FA?
No. Accounts are delivered without two-factor authentication so that you can set it up on your own phone or email. Turn it on as soon as you log in.
