From now until May 21st, Epic “will periodically require two-factor authentication prior to claiming free games on the Epic Games Store.” According to the developer, this change has been made “in an effort to encourage our players to take steps to strengthen their Epic account security.”
Players can activate two-factor authentication in their Epic Games Account settings. A full guide detailing how to enable it can be found here.
