What you need
Steps
Open a browser and go to epicgames.com, then sign in with your Epic Games email and password.
Click your profile icon in the top right corner and choose Account from the menu.
In the left sidebar, select Password and Security.
Find the Two-Factor Authentication section and click Enable.
Pick the method you want: authenticator app, email, or SMS text message.
Enter the code sent to your email or phone, or scan the QR code with your authenticator app.
Type the six-digit code from the app or message into the box and confirm.
Save your backup codes somewhere safe in case you lose your phone.
Launch Fortnite and check your Locker for the Boogie Down emote.
Tips and common mistakes
Use an authenticator app instead of SMS if you can, since text codes can be intercepted.
Keep the backup codes offline, because losing your phone without them can lock you out.
If the emote does not appear right away, log out of Fortnite and back in to refresh your account.
Questions
Do I need 2FA to play Fortnite?
No, it is optional for play. You only need it to claim rewards like the Boogie Down emote and to better protect your account.
Can I use the same 2FA on PS5 and PC?
Yes. 2FA is tied to your Epic Games account, so it protects every device you sign in on.
What if I lose my phone?
Use one of the backup codes you saved when you set it up, or contact Epic Games support to recover access.
