Recovering Your Account: A Step-by-Step Guide to Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

Are you having trouble accessing your Fortnite account due to a changed phone number? Don't worry, we've got you covered. In this article, we'll walk you through the simple steps to update your phone number and re-enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Epic Games account.

Updating Your Phone Number

To start, log into your Fortnite account using the code sent to your new phone number. Once you've entered the correct code, you'll be redirected to a new screen where you can enter the security code from the email you received. If you're having trouble finding the email, check your inbox and locate the message with the subject 'Security Code'.

Enabling 2FA

After logging into your account, click on the 'Try another way' option on the 2FA prompt. This will allow you to re-enable 2FA using a different method. We strongly recommend re-enabling 2FA to keep your account secure.

Alternative Method: Changing Your Phone Number for 2FA via SMS

If you prefer, you can also change your phone number for 2FA by sending a verification code via SMS. To do this, go to the Password & Security section of your Account management page and select 'Change Phone Number'. Follow the prompts to enter your new phone number and receive a verification code.

Disabling or Changing Your 2FA Method

Once you've re-enabled 2FA, you can log into your account and access the Password & Security section of your Account management page. From here, you can disable 2FA or change your preferred method.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you're unable to log in due to a lost Authenticator App or changed phone number, don't worry – there are a few methods you can use to regain access to your account. If someone else has enabled 2FA on your account without your permission, we recommend contacting Epic Games support for assistance.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to recover your Fortnite account and re-enable two-factor authentication. Remember to always keep your account information secure by regularly updating your phone number and enabling 2FA whenever possible.
