Why you should enable Fortnite two-factor authentication
There are a number of reasons to enable 2FA in Fortnite. The main one is to keep your account secure from fraudsters. Having an extra step when signing into your account makes it harder for someone to access, which is recommended if you have any payment methods linked. V-Bucks scams are unfortunately fairly common, so adding this extra layer of security will mean you’ll be less likely to be hacked. If you’re looking to compete in Fortnite cup events, you will also need 2FA enabled. This is so that you can earn the rewards associated with each event. For example, the recent Obi-Wan Cup allowed players to earn the Obi-Wan skin for competing. This was only possible if you had 2FA enabled. Finally, having two-factor active on your account will allow you to gift items in the Item Shop. You can purchase and gift everything from skins to V-Bucks and send them to your pals. That’s how to enable 2FA on your Fortnite account. For more on the game, check out our guide on Fortnite’s current map, so that you can make sure you’ve unlocked all named locations.
