What exactly is 2FA Fortnite?

Understanding the importance of 2FA Fortnite

In layman's term, 2FA is simply adding another layer of protection to your account to make sure your account cannot be hacked. This is pivotal, especially in a game as popular as Fortnite is. Since Fortnite accounts are valued very highly in the community, there will be people looking to gain access to your account. The way this works is by sending a code to any device of your choice. Doing so would filter out any unwanted logins, since the only person with access to the device would be the owner actual of the Fortnite account.

Every attempt at logging into your Fortnite account from an unauthorised system will be followed by having to either enter the code sent to you, or through an authenticator app, whichever the account owner prefers. While this could get tedious at times, it ensures maximum safety for your account and prevents illegal and unauthorised access at all times.
