How to Secure an Epic Games / Fortnite Account
1. Remove External Connections
Prior to logging into the purchased account, ask the seller to unlink all external connections you won't be using, such as Xbox, PSN, and Nintendo accounts. Also, have them remove any applications with access to the account. Here
2. Delay Display Name Update
After logging in, avoid changing the Epic display name immediately. Wait for 24-48 hours, especially if you are in a different region than the last use, to prevent security flags. Here
3. Be Cautious with Email Changes
If the option to change the account's email is available, refrain from doing so immediately. Ensure that no one else has recently logged into the account, as sudden changes might lead to account disablement. Here
4. Secure the Current Email
Properly secure the email associated with the account. Strengthen the email account's password and enable additional security measures, such as two-factor authentication.
5. Change the Password
Change the password on your Epic account. Here
6. Turn on 2FA
Turn on 2FA and sign out everywhere. Here
7. Download the PDF
Download the PDF file containing the account's history from the Epic Games website for reference and documentation. Here
Additional Tips
- Always obtain the "Pull Back Information" from the seller. This information is vital for recovering the account if it gets locked.
- Epic disables accounts once it hits a certain threshold for IP's (3-4 typically) , or when there are two completely different regions who are signed in back to back. Avoid logging in from different IP's.
