How to Enable 2FA on Your Nintendo Switch for Extra Security
Last updated
Wondering how to make your Nintendo Switch account safer? You’re thinking about 2FA, or two-factor authentication, aren’t you? Let’s dive into how you can set this up!
Let’s break down the question: How do you turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Nintendo Switch? It’s a good question for keeping your gaming secure!
Quick Steps to Activate 2FA on Nintendo Switch
To enable 2FA, you first need to go to the Nintendo Account website. You can’t do it directly from your console. Once you’re logged in, find the “Sign-in and security settings” and look for “2-Step Verification”. Click “Edit,” and then “2-Step Verification setup.”
Follow the subsequent instructions. You’ll need a smartphone to install an authenticator app, which Nintendo will suggest. After setting it up, anytime you sign in to your Nintendo account, you’ll need both your password and a code from your authenticator app. Double the security means double the peace of mind!
