Fortnite Boogie Down Emote: How To Enable Two Factor Authentication (2FA)
By Ford James ·
The long-awaited winner of the #BoogieDown challenge has finally been released as a free emote to everybody - as long as you enable Two Factor Authentication. Here's how you do that and unlock the Boogie Down emote.
It’s been months now since the #BoogieDown contest ended and Orange Shirt Kid was denied his victory. It all worked out in the end though since Orange Justice was added to the game much sooner than the actual winner of the contest. It’s finally here though and to everyone’s surprise, the emote is completely free. All you need to do is enable Two Factor Authentication, or 2FA for short. A smart move on Epic’s part, as it helps everyone keep their account secure since hacking and scamming vulnerable players is so rife in the Fortnite community.
If you’re wondering how to enable 2FA, look no further as it’s quite simple really:
- First up, head to EpicGames.com/Fortnite and sign in via the button in the top right corner of the page.
- When you’ve signed in via your respective platform, hover over your username in the top right and click on Account.
- From there, go to Password & Security, fourth down in the list.
- Underneath the option to change your password you’ll see the Two Factor Authentication header. Choose your preferred option of Authenticator App or Email Authentication.
- From there, follow the on-screen instructions.
Two Factor Authentication basically means that whenever you sign in, you’ll also need to input a code from another account such as your email, or another device like your phone. It means that if somebody manages to get ahold of your email and password, they’re still unable to log-in because they don’t have access to the second factor of authentication. We recommend enabling it on every account you own as long as it’s an option, because there’s nothing worse than waking up one morning and discovering one of your accounts has been compromised.
In other Fortnite news today, a plethora of stuff has happened such as more leaked skins and emotes, changes to the map, a new limited time mode and more. Keep your eyes peeled on Twin Galaxies as we’ll be reporting on it all through the day.
