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. 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

3. 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.

4. Change the Password

5. Turn on 2FA

Turn on 2FA and sign out everywhere. Here

6. Download the PDF

After some time, download the PDF file containing the account's history from the Epic Games website for reference and documentation. Don't do this instantly as it can lock the account. 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.
