how many times, have i told you people to remove the worthless 6 digit security code check that locks you out of your account and has the potential to cause you to lose your account. i dont want to access my email, so i can log into my account, that is so dam stupid, just give me the option to turn it off and if necesary which it isnt, give a second password to remember or use, like halifax the geniuses have done. you guys need to stop this 2nd check NOW. or i will lock YOU out of your accounts. done. ---

I highly disagree, With the existence of 2 Factor Authentication People STILL lose their accounts, Imagine if it was removed how much more rampant and easy account theft would be, If your main password is compromised then there’s a very high chance the “second password” would probably also be compromised. Regardless, here’s how you disable 2FA. I highly recommend **NOT DOING IT** but you’re free to make your own choices [https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category\_EpicAccount/c-AccountSecurity/disable-two-factor-authentication-2fa-a000084639](https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_EpicAccount/c-AccountSecurity/disable-two-factor-authentication-2fa-a000084639) ---

Tell me @araz01 If your password gets leaked either from your end or from someone else’s (maybe a service you’re using get’s hacked) unless you’re using secure different passwords for each service which most people don’t, What will prevent anyone from entering the account ---

> [@araz01](#): > > first of all, why dont they just make a account, its free Partially out of laziness. But you’d be surprised at far people are willing to take this > [@araz01](#): > > secondly, why one earth will some one steal my password, that makes no sense. Because believe it or not; an Epic Games account is actually worth an fair bit money if one is looking for some free games ---
