Unable to log into UEFN


Summary

I am completely unable to login into UEFN. Every time I attempt to open UEFN I am shown an error tab which reads
“Login failed: Unable to login to your Epic Games account at this time. Please try again later. UEFN requires a successful login to run. Shutting down”. Sometimes UEFN will open
an Epic games account verification tab (https://www.epicgames.com/id/activate/ 1) on my web browser with the option to connect my epic games account to UEFN. Every time I click “allow” UEFN will still not be able to log in.
I have tried many different ways to fix this issue such as uninstalling UEFN and verifying the game files however none of these methods seems to work. This issue first occurred on the last days of 30.40 update and I am still having this issue even after the 31.00 update.

Hi This was a common problem

Windows 11 needs to Run As Administrator to install UEFN updates

Works fine on Windows 10, but Windows 11 Enhanced Security needs “Run As Administrator”

There may problem may be running Opera.
Try Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome to initially login and join you Epic account with Fortnite and installation then you can go back to Opera but we have seen problems where VPN had to be used with browser other than Chrome and derivatives.
