Epic: Your account security design is atrociously bad

Hey Epic, if possible can you add an option to use Google Authenticator for Android/iPhone for 2FA? It produces a seeded random set of 6 numbers generated from a unique code for each users account as an authentication code which changes (expires) every 30 seconds. I use it for about a dozen other websites with 2FA, it works really well, and would be nice to have an option to use it instead of email for 2FA on Epic accounts.

My account was hacked here and on twitter shortly afterwards a few months ago during the time I was away and I too was receiving emails similar to the OP. Thankfully no harm was done, but it could have been a nightmare cleaning up the mess on the forums if they realized I was a moderator. My email now shows up as Pwnd on this site, which is annoying but I’m not getting much spam so I don’t know whether to stop using it completely or not. Since then I have been going OCD overkill on security both here and all my other accounts, changing long passwords monthly and never reusing a password for any other sites. It’s a pain but worth it in the long run.

I would like to change my email address attached to this account though, so I will be sending a request from the support request page to fix that. If anyone else is having account issues use that link to report it to Epic Support. It says Fortnite, but it’s for UE4 support too, just select “PC/Mac” from the Fortnite Game Platform combo-box, select a random Game Mode, and then use “Account Security” option for Game.
