Is It Worth Enabling Two Factor Authentication In Fortnite Game?

Two-Factor Authentication is always a best way to implement an additional security to any of your account, whether be it your fortnite account, your email, or anything that supports two factor authentication application service.

By enabling 2FA in your account, you can live stress free without concerning about your accounts security. Because, even if anyone having userid and password of your account, he/she would not be able to login in your account; as whenever your usual sign in situations or devices changes, this additional security layer gets activated, and asks for an additional authentication code that is only viewable in your authenticator app. This step makes your account almost non-accessible to third party entities.

I would say, don’t activate 2FA only to have Boogiedown emote as a reward, the two factor authentication layer is worth activating in fortnite account as it will make your fortnite account more secure than it is today.
