Epic Games Store to Require 2FA to Claim Free Games Next Month

Epic Games Store to Require 2FA to Claim Free Games Next Month

Beginning today and ending on May 21, EPIC will periodically require two-factor authentication prior to claiming free games on the Epic Games Store. They are making this change in an effort to encourage our players to take steps to strengthen their Epic account security.

If you do not have two-factor authentication enabled on your account, you will see the following message when attempting to claim a free game:

“Two Factor Authentication Required

Claiming this free game requires you to have Two-Factor Authentication setup on your account. Two-Factor Authentication provides an additional level of security to your Epic Games account and will help prevent unauthorized access.”

In order to enable two-factor authentication, please head over to your Epic Games Account settings. Two-factor authentication can be used to help protect your account from unauthorized access by requiring you to enter a security code when you sign in. You can read a full how-to guide on enabling two-factor authentication here.

We understand that this is a minor inconvenience for some, but we want to provide the best possible solutions to protect your Epic account.

A few months after registering my Epic account, I'm still waiting for the verification email. I guess I should open a new customer service ticket.

What is required to enable 2fa on Epic game store and can I do so using only my Samsung Tab A tablet? I don't own or use phones much, my tablet and internet are my primary form of communication?

Lost all my computers when I moved back to Ontario, Canada and have not been able to replace them so rely solely on my tablet for communication right now.

Via the online Epic account settings you can just choose email verification as a 3rd option to receive 6 digit codes via regular email without being stuck to some device. The EGS client actually opens up a web browser once you click the link in the message there.
