You Now Can (And Should) Enable Two-Factor Authorization On Nintendo Online Accounts
Today, Nintendo has instituted an app authenticator for your online Nintendo account, a security measure that makes it far more difficult for other people to access your account without your consent.
To enable it, head to Nintendo's login web portal, then check out the "Sign-in and security" section. From there, if you haven't verified an email address, you will need to do that before two-factor authorization can be enabled.
This makes a requirement that every new log in for your Nintendo account requires another authorization from you besides just the login and password, usually via an app (in Nintendo's case) or a code texted to you.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
