Rocket League 2 Factor Authentication: Rocket League has developed a lot during the past few years. With a user base of 90 million, the game has been giving tough competition to other Epic Games. The trading feature of the Rocket League was added in 2016, and it requires Rocket League 2 Factor Authentication. Not only this, but there are quite a lot of uses after you enable 2FA in Rocket League.
However, players can find it difficult sometimes to enable their 2FA. It can also happen that you forget your 2FA password. What if your 2 Factor Authentication is not working? Finally, how can you enable it on different platforms? Read until the end to find out more about 2 Factor Authentication feature of Rocket League.
How do you Turn On 2FA in Rocket League?
First of all, 2FA is an added security layer that helps you ensure that you are using your account. 2 Factor Authentication is a security feature to ensure you’re the one using it. It also has the following uses:
1. Security Feature:
It adds another layer of security to your account. So, if someone hacks your account, they still wouldn’t access other features unless they can also hack the 2FA password.
2. Competitive:
Almost all competitive (& Esports) games have made it mandatory to have a 2FA before participation.
3. Gifts & Trading:
With this feature, you can gift stuff to your friends and trade with them simultaneously.
However, to turn on/enable it, you’ll need to follow a few steps. You can do this in multiple ways, i.e., from an application, SMS, or email. Before you do this, make sure that your Epic Games account has a verified email address and/or phone number. Follow the steps below to do it on your own:
Step-1: Open Epic Games Store on your PC or browser. (Make sure you’re signed in to your Epic Games account)
Step-2: On the top right corner of the screen, click on your Profile. Choose ‘Account‘ from the list.
Step-3: Choose the fifth option i.e. ‘Password & Security‘.
Step-4: Scroll down until you see Your Password. It would be best if you reached 2FA for your account below it.
Step-5: Select the option most viable for you here.
Note: The fastest way of doing it is using the SMS option. This is what we highly recommend for a quick process. The Email verification might be slower and not preferred chiefly.
