Note : Any method you choose ,you’d be required to take a simple but tricky ‘ I’m not a robot ‘ test which is very similar to to Google reCAPTCHA. You’re presented with some images and asked whether a certain object or an animal is in the picture, say a horse or a dog,don’t rush ,answer the questions correctly and tap verify button. If you have any problem with the test,it’s perhaps a network connection error or you were in a hurry when selecting the required pictures,so you’re asked to select the matching images again.
Sometimes you’ll be asked to take the test twice for your security.
There are three available methods for your Fortnite 2FA.
1. Third Party Authentication App:To use this feature simply tap the toggle beside the Third Party Authentication Option ,you’ll be asked to take a security test first,then set up your preferred authenticator app. You’ll finally be asked to provide a code from the authentication app to complete your Fortnite 2FA,provide the exact code,you’ll receive an email telling you that you’ve successfully turned on Fortnite 2FA using third party authentication app.
Authentication apps are those apps that generate one time authentication codes to use for your 2FA on the connected accounts. There are many authentication apps ,but these two are the best :
Google Authenticator and
Authy .
2. SMS Authentication : To turn on this method, tap the toggle beside the SMS Authentication option, you’ll also be required to take a security test. After you’ve successfully finished your test and answered all the questions correctly, you’ll be asked to provide the phone number you’ll use for your 2FA.Provide the phone number with your country code which could be found beside the phone number text field,tap to choose your country code (Though it uses the country code of your location by default)
If you use this method, read this guide on protecting your device so no bad actor get access to your security codes via spyware .
3. Email Authentication : You can enable this authentication method to receive your 2FA codes.By default it automatically puts your primary email in the text field – that’s the email address you used when signing up .When asked to take the security test,do it carefully and answer the questions correctly. If you choose this method for your 2FA make sure you read this guide to secure your Gmail account.
When you finished everything carefully, a message similar to this will appear .
