Enabling 2FA on the Epic Games website can be tricky especially if you’re on your mobile device and have no other device to activate it. So if you’re asking yourself the question ‘how to enable two-factor-authentication on a mobile device?’, we will guide through!

First and foremost, there is no way possible for you to enable 2FA through an authentication app as you need to scan the QR code which you will be needing a separate phone but assuming you don’t have one. The only way left for you to other than an authenticator app is enabling it through e-mail. Keep in mind that if you want to activate 2fa using an authenticator app in the future, you will have to remove the e-mail method first.

First, go on epicgames.com and log in to your account. Get to your Account Settings from the top menu and click on Password&Security. Once you get to the page school down and select Enable e-Mail Authentication. After this, a security code will be sent to your registered e-mail. All you have to do is entering the code and pressing continue and voila! You’ve successfully enabled two-factor-authentication on your mobile device.

Enabling this feature will not only grant you the ability to protect your account from further threats but you will be able to participate in events and features that Epic is putting out once a while exclusively for the account holders who signed up on 2FA.
