Additional Information:

• Child Nintendo Accounts and supervised Nintendo Accounts that do not have a registered email address cannot change their sign-in method—they must use their Sign-In ID to sign in.
• You can choose to allow sign-in with either your email address/Sign-In ID or with your Sign-In ID only.
• You may also find our information on Creating a Sign-In ID helpful.

Complete These Steps:

1. Go to https://accounts.nintendo.com and sign in to your Nintendo Account.
2. Select Sign-In and Security Settings, then scroll down to the Select Sign-In Method section and select Edit.
3. You may be prompted to confirm your identity by re-entering your password, re-authenticating with a passkey and/or by verifying your email address.
   • If prompted to enter your password, enter it then select OK.
   • If you have enabled passkey authentication, you can confirm your identity by signing in using a passkey.
   • If prompted to verify your email address, select Submit to have an email with a verification code sent to the email address associated with your Nintendo Account. Locate the code in your email and enter it in the "Verification code" box, then select Submit.
     • If you do not receive the email, but you have registered a phone number to your Nintendo Account, select Use another method to verify your identity on the "E-mail address verification" screen, then Verify. A code will be sent via text message to your phone number—enter it in the "Verification Code" box and select Verify to verify your identity.
     • If you have not registered a phone number to your Nintendo Account (or the verification text message does not arrive) and do not receive the email, please follow our steps for Did Not Receive a Nintendo Account Identity Verification Email.

   • If you do not currently have access to the app, select Use another method to verify your identity and use one of the backup codes you received when setting up two-step verification. (You should have copied and saved these in a safe place.)
